Can not run your deployment command

[picarsite]

I tried your dev branch but it does not work, too. I assume I do something wrong? I checked the 'D:\home\site\repository\.deploy' folder and it is empty. Should it be empty?

remote: Updating branch 'master'.
remote: .........................................
remote: Updating submodules.
remote: Preparing deployment for commit id '2ca45d2e50'.
remote: Running custom deployment command...
remote: Running deployment command...
remote: 'D:\home\site\repository.deploy\deploy.cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
remote: operable program or batch file.
remote:
remote: Error - Changes committed to remote repository but deployment to website failed.

My .deployment file:

[config]
command = D:\home\site\repository\.deploy\deploy.cmd
SCM_POST_DEPLOYMENT_ACTIONS_PATH = D:\home\site\repository\.deploy\post-deploy
SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT=600

What you're showing looks correct.

Based on the error I was expecting that in your .deployment file instead of:
command = D:\home\site\repository\.deploy\deploy.cmd

You had:
command = D:\home\site\repository.deploy\deploy.cmd

None of my code references deploy.cmd, so that really should be purely controlled by the .deployment file.

Can you use SCM to navigate to your repository folder and double-check what it shows in .deployment?

Thank you for your help.
It is the same, there is a back slash before '.deploy' like in your readme. I just forgot to place double back slashes so that it would be visible here:

[config]
command = D:\home\site\repository\.deploy\deploy.cmd
SCM_POST_DEPLOYMENT_ACTIONS_PATH = D:\home\site\repository\.deploy\post-deploy
SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT=610

If you pull the deployment logs in:
D:\home\site\deployments<COMMIT-HASH>

Are there any more details?

If from SCM you run:
set

What environmental variables do you have set? Everything here looks right, I'm not sure why its having issues.

deploy.cmd starts with the following, correct?:

@if "%SCM_TRACE_LEVEL%" NEQ "4" @echo off
@echo Started: %date% %time%
:: ----------------------
:: KUDU Deployment Script
:: Version: 1.0.10
:: ----------------------

:: Prerequisites
:: -------------
@echo Start Pre-Reqs: %date% %time%

I did not set any environmental variables. They are all standard.
Are you thinking about a special environmental variable which I should check?
Yes, deploy.cmd starts exactly like you showed.
