Description

We're trying to deploy the azurechat using the cli (via a .zip file). The entire Infra-code has been handled via TerraForm and the last step is to deploy the src code.

However, when deploying, via cli, we're getting the error message: Couldn't detect a version for the platform. We've searched for numerous reasons and they all come back to the Oryx builder. We've tried setting the app configuration parameter (SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT) to false but that doesn't give us anything. We have checked that a correct version of nodejs is, in fact, present within the package.json as well as the package-lock.json (engines are declared).

Please advise.

Research direction

Start with the CLI zip deployment and inspect package.json and package-lock.json, including their declared Node.js engines, alongside the Azure app configuration. Reproduce the Oryx error and compare the archive and deployment settings with what platform detection requires; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting the required deployment configuration.
