Scenario

 

The zipDeploy method used for Deploying Logic Apps Standard overwrites all/any existing files in the wwwroot folder. Set up DevOps for Standard logic apps - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Learn

This tutorial is for using an Azure CLI task instead of the zipDeploy task, to give you flexibility on whether to overwrite the files/folder or not.

 

Services Used

• Azure Devops
• Azure CLI
• Logic Apps Standard

 

Artifacts Folder Configuration

 

Create the zip file with that contains your workflow folders, and any other files that need to modified, like host.json or connections.json, in the following structure.

 

Note: If you're including the connections.json, parameters.json and host.json, in the zip file, please ensure to include the content for the already existing workflows and existing settings, as these files will get completely overwritten:

 

artifacts.zip	| Workflow1-Folder	| workflow.json
	| Workflow2-Folder	| workflow.json
	| connections.json
	| parameters.json
	| host.json

 

Sample:

 

 

 

Upload the Artifacts to DevOps

 

In the Repos sections of DevOps, select “Upload file(s)” and upload the artifacts.zip file containing the workflow folders, and any other files that will be uploaded to the wwwroot directory of the Logic App.

 

 

Pipeline Creation

 

To create a new pipeline, go to Pipelines > “New Pipeline”

 

 

 

Select where your code is:

 

 

 

Select the “Starter Pipeline”:

 

 

 

Give it a name and "Save" it:

 

 

 

Pipeline Configuration

 

Open your Pipeline YAML file and on a new line, search for “Azure CLI” in the Tasks bar. 

 

 

 

Fill out the following information in the Azure CLI Task prompt and click “Add”.

 

Azure Resource Manager connection	<subscription reference>
Script Type	Shell
Script Location	Inline script
Inline Script	az webapp deploy --resource-group ResourceGroupName --name LogicAppName --src-path artifacts.zip --type=zip --clean false

 

 

 

 

 

The final pipeline should have the AzureCLI task like so:

 

 

 

- task: AzureCLI@2

  inputs:

    azureSubscription: 'subscription reference'

    scriptType: 'bash'

    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'

    inlineScript: 'az webapp deploy --resource-group ResourceGroupName --name LogicAppName --src-path artifacts.zip --type=zip --clean false'

 

Pipeline Deployment

 

Before running the pipeline, I have created an existing workflow in my Logic App.

 

 

 

Now we “Validate and save” the pipeline:

 

 

 

 

 

“Run” the pipeline:

 

 

 

 

The job has succeeded:

 

 

 

The list of workflows has been updated, and the original workflow still exists.
