Deploying function App to azure stuck on 'running pip install 2/4' when arcgis is in requirements.txt

Question

Hey guys,

I am having issues deploying a function app to Azure. I have restarted the whole process a few times, specified versions in requirements.txt, deployed a dummy function just to see if i could deploy. Dummy function deployed successfully, but when i add arcgis to requirements.txt it takes agggess and then fails. i tried putting my real code into the function and deploying without arcgis in the requirements.txt file (this fails pretty quickly), when i add arcgis to requirements.txt, the same thing happens - it takes agges on 'running pip install 2/4' then fails. I tried changing the deploy timeout to 1 hour in case it was just a size issue but it failed at about 45 minutes.

I get the message in vscode: "Deployment 'latest' not found."

Been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!

Curious what route you eventually took on this. I have the same issue and we got around it by setting up a ci/cd pipeline in Github, which seems to work, but it's frustrating that workarounds have to be found for things like this. Particularly since it means I can't deploy directly from VS Code, which can be handy sometimes.

@EarlMedina Still running into the same error unfortunately, stuck on 'running pip install (2/4) then fails.

requirements.txt file looks like:

azure-functionsrequestsarcgis --install-option="--no-deps"

I found something online that suggested containerising the whole thing with docker so am going to try doing that and will update if i make any progress

Not what I was expecting, but let's try something. What happens when you install the package with no dependencies? The format for that in requirements.txt is:

<package> --install-option="--no-deps"
