React-app build fails for reason could not detect the language from repo about mslearn-staticwebapp HOT 4 CLOSED

I faced the same issue. Inspecting the code at https://github.com/Microsoft/Oryx source code, I realized that Oryx tries to identify a node based app checking if there's a package.json file under the app path you've specified in your settings.

¿Could you check you've properly set the path to your app's folder within your .yml file?

For instance, if your project folder has this structure:

• /
• public/
• src/
• package.json

then your settings within a .yml file should be -> app_location: "/" output_location: "dist"

In case your folder structure has more levels, for instance:

• /
• /app1
• /app2
• /app3
• public/
• src/
• package.json

then your settings within a .yml file should be -> app_location: "/app3" output_location: "dist"

This worked for me. If you don't get it running with my suggestion, could you please share the specifics of your project structure?

Cheers.

Thanks for providing these suggestions. File package.json exists and project folder structure was like the one in first example. I think the issue might have been in the path settings. And I was using react instead of custom.
I tried again the learning module and now I was able to deploy (and redeploy) successfully webapp by following the instructions.

I was having the same issue. For me,Its mostly because I didn't select location for the application and didn't select output folder where the files will be built for production. Please follow step 6-10 and it should work without problem. After naming the app on step 5, click on custom rather than react or angular. Hope that helps.

I have had no luck trying to get a hello world html page to build or deploy. Project structure is:

/index.html
/my.js
/my.css
/xxx.yaml <= generated by azure portal.

the yaml build file is in the root, with the following content:

`

• task: AzureStaticWebApp@0
  inputs:
  azure_static_web_apps_api_token: $(AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_xxxx)
  app_location: "/" # App source code path
  api_location: "" # Api source code path - optional
  output_location: "" # Built app content directory - optional
  `

The error message is:

Detecting platforms... Could not detect any platform in the source directory. Error: Could not detect the language from repo.

Any ideas how to fix?

have also tried output_location: "/"
