Application deployment to staging slot about webapps-deploy HOT 6 CLOSED

I agree this should be documented. I personally was aware that deployment slots have their own publish profile. What is not clear is what the value of app-name should be when slot-name is specified. Continuing @modev 's example - should app-name be "testapp" or "testapp__staging"??

app-name will be 'testapp' and slot-name will be 'staging'. We will update our documentation for getting publish profile for slots

This still is not described anywhere that I can find - what is supposed to be for app name and slot name for github actions.

It seems like I found the issue myself.

When creating a new slot such as staging for an App Service, the slot is displayed as a separate App Service (e.g. Testapp/staging) inside the App Service Plan. The original App Service "Testapp" only contains the publishing profile for the production slot. To be able to publish from the GH Actions so the staging slot, you have to generate the publishing profile for the separate App Service "Testapp/Staging".
This new publishing profile then also contains the user credentials for user "testapp__staging" that pass the validation of the action.

Since there is no documentation for the slot name property and the necessary changes you'd have to make from the original quickstart, I would suggest documenting these features to avoid further confusion.

app-name: What you see at the top of the blade on the Azure Portal. Can contain uppercase letters too.
slot-name: Also what you see at the top of the blade when you open the slot, before the app name in parenthesis.

E.g. if you created "My App" with the URL "my-app.azurewebsites.net", and a slot called Staging, then:

• app-name will be "My App".
• When you open the staging slot in the Azure Portal, you'll see something like "Staging (my-app/Staging)" at the top. slot-name will be "Staging".

Sounds great, thanks!
