fix: deployment errors for the AI Agent GOV backend and enable a successful deploy to Azure Web App via GitHub Actions. #334

somc-ai · 2025-07-17T09:57:39Z

Purpose

Goal:
Resolve deployment failure for the AI Agent GOV backend, caused by errors during ZIP deployment to Azure Web App using Oryx build pipeline.

Errors Observed During Deployment:

Error: Failed to deploy web package to App Service.
Error: Deployment Failed, Package deployment using ZIP Deploy failed. Refer logs for more details.

Additional context from Azure log:

Updating submodules.
Preparing deployment for commit id 'f294b18e-1'.
PreDeployment: context.CleanOutputPath False
PreDeployment: context.OutputPath /home/site/wwwroot
Repository path is /tmp/zipdeploy/extracted
Running oryx build...
Command: oryx build /tmp/zipdeploy/extracted -o /home/site/wwwroot --platform python --platform-version 3.11 -p virtualenv_name=antenv --log-file /tmp/build-debug.log  -i /tmp/8ddc515382de79f --compress-destination-dir | tee /tmp/oryx-build.log
Operation performed by Microsoft Oryx, https://github.com/Microsoft/Oryx

Analysis

These errors suggest that the Oryx build process failed during deployment. This typically happens due to one or more of the following reasons:

❌ No valid Python entry point found (e.g. app.py, main.py, or FastAPI app instance)
❌ requirements.txt contains invalid, broken, or unsupported packages (e.g. Git-based installs, local paths)
❌ Python source code is not located in the root or expected subfolder (/tmp/zipdeploy/extracted structure mismatch)
❌ Multiple conflicting app_kernel.py files (one in root, one in /backend/) may confuse Oryx during scanning
❌ Missing or misnamed startup file (Azure looks for application.py, main.py, or auto-detects a FastAPI app)

Required Fixes

ENTRY POINT
- Ensure the correct main.py or app.py exists at the root of the deployment folder (typically copied to /tmp/zipdeploy/extracted)
- It must contain a FastAPI app named app (e.g. app = FastAPI())
REQUIREMENTS.TXT
- No git+... or local imports
- Only pip-installable packages
- Test locally: pip install -r backend/requirements.txt must work clean
REMOVE DUPLICATES
- Delete the duplicate app_kernel.py in the root directory
- Ensure only the correct file in backend/ is used
UPDATE WORKFLOW / ZIP PATH
- Ensure the GitHub Action or deployment ZIP contains a clean structure like:
```
/main.py
/requirements.txt
/backend/app_kernel.py
```

Does this introduce a breaking change?

Yes
No

How to Test

# Local test
cd backend/
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ../main.py

Run: curl http://localhost:8000/docs
If using uvicorn, ensure the startup command is:

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

What to Check

main.py exists at root, contains app = FastAPI()
requirements.txt is valid and clean
No duplicate kernel files
/tmp/zipdeploy/extracted matches what Azure expects:
- Root-level app entry
- All dependencies resolved
- Python version matches (3.11)

Other Information

Deployment pipeline: .github/workflows/main_aiagentsgov-backend.yml
Build system: Azure App Service with Oryx
Platform: Python 3.11

Check if the files like requirements.txt, and other are perfect enough for deployment

src/frontend/src/App.tsx:6

There are conflicting import statements - React is imported twice (line 1 and line 6) with different syntax. This will cause a compilation error.

There are two init method definitions in the BaseAgent class (lines 22 and 51). This creates a syntax error as Python classes cannot have duplicate method definitions. The second definition will override the first, making the code unreachable.

There are duplicate import statements for React and duplicate function declarations (App on line 9 and SoMCDashboard on line 16). This creates syntax errors and unreachable code.

-class BaseAgent(AzureAIAgent):
+class BaseAgent(ChatCompletionAgent):


The class inheritance has been changed from AzureAIAgent to ChatCompletionAgent, but the constructor still references the old parent class methods and parameters. This will likely cause runtime errors when the BaseAgent is instantiated.

The web.config references 'main:app' but based on the file structure, this should likely be 'app_kernel:app' or the path needs to be adjusted to match the actual application entry point.
