Test your ASP.NET Core repo locally
If you're having problems deploying your ASP.NET Core repo to Kudu/Azure, the first step is to check whether it works correctly locally.
Please use the following steps. If anything doesn't work, then you have an issue that is not related to Kudu, and you should work through it before attempting to deploy to Azure.
Make a clean clone of your repository in a new folder. This is important to make sure you don't rely on uncommitted files that Kudu won't have.
Go to the folder that has your solution file, and run
nuget restore
Build it in-place using the following command. Change MySolution.sln to the name of your solution file:
msbuild MySolution.sln /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release
Replace src\MyAspNetCoreProject by the path to the folder that has your web app's project.json. You can also adjust the test output folder.
dotnet publish src\MyAspNetCoreProject --output c:\output --configuration Release --no-build
Go to the output folder you used in the previous steps, and run (adjust with the name of your web project's assembly):
dotnet MyAspNetCoreProject.dll
It should give you a URL you can go to, e.g.
Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
Go to that URL and make sure your app works.
