Hi All,
I am using Azure DevOps Pipeline to deploy to a Azure Static Web App with Hugo.
I've got a deployment timeout whenever i add a new Article on my Blog.

I've checked the new Articles for any issues and could not find one. I've upgraded the SKU of Azure Static Web App - but that did not help.

---End of Oryx build logs---

Try to validate location at: '/c6ac66c0-13f1-4590-9a86-b1338052b375-swa-oryx/app/public'.

Finished building app with Oryx

Using 'staticwebapp.config.json' file for configuration information, 'routes.json' will be ignored.

No Api directory specified. Azure Functions will not be created.

Either no Api directory was specified, or the specified directory was not found. Azure Functions will not be created.

    It seems that your deployment to Azure Static Web Apps is failing due to a timeout during content distribution. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Check Build Logs: Review the Oryx build logs for any specific error messages or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the build process. Ensure that the app directory and output directory are correctly configured in your workflow.
    2. Validate Folder Configuration: Make sure that the folder configuration for your static web app is correct. The error messages indicate that there might be issues with the specified directories. Verify that the app_location, output_location, and api_location settings in your configuration match your project structure.
    3. Increase Timeout: If the deployment is timing out, consider increasing the timeout settings in your Azure DevOps pipeline to allow more time for the deployment to complete.
    4. Check Azure Service Status: Sometimes, deployment issues can be related to Azure service outages. Check the Azure status page to see if there are any ongoing issues that might be affecting your deployment.
    5. Application Insights: If you have Application Insights set up, check for any runtime errors that might provide more context on why the deployment is failing.
    6. Scaling Up: Since you mentioned upgrading the SKU, ensure that the new SKU provides sufficient resources for your deployment, especially if your blog has grown in size or complexity.

    If you continue to face issues, consider raising a GitHub issue as suggested in the error message for further assistance from the Azure team.
