The deployment is successful but the chatbot shows up on apiapp link. Is this correct?

[kacheng24]

We have created our own apiapp and webapp services. After the deployment, the chatbot shows up on api site. Seems like there is no file deployed into the webapp. The bot is working fine. It let me upload doc and answer our questions using the uploaded docs. We want to know if the front-end is supposed to be in the api? Did we make mistake in the setting?

When we looked into the Azure, we see no file for the webapp

We do see files for apiapp

This is a code in the main.bicep. Since we want to use the existing web/api services, we changed the name in the script.
Should we put the apiapp name or webapp name in here?

The Azure WebApp name is apiapp when the script was being run.

Please let us know if you have any ideas. Thank you!

Hey @kacheng24 , When you call https://github.com/microsoft/chat-copilot/blob/main/.github/workflows/copilot-build-backend.yml from GitHub Actions, it calls

https://github.com/microsoft/chat-copilot/blob/main/scripts/deploy/package-webapi.ps1

And specifically on these lines it builds the frontend and copies it into the .zip webapi deploy package. (zip)

`
if (-Not $SkipFrontendFiles) {
Write-Host "Building static frontend files..."

Push-Location -Path "$PSScriptRoot/../../webapp"

$filePath = "./.env.production"
if (Test-path $filePath -PathType leaf) {
    Remove-Item $filePath
}

Add-Content -Path $filePath -Value "REACT_APP_BACKEND_URI="
Add-Content -Path $filePath -Value "REACT_APP_SK_VERSION=$Version"
Add-Content -Path $filePath -Value "REACT_APP_SK_BUILD_INFO=$InformationalVersion"

Write-Host "Installing yarn dependencies..."
yarn install
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
    exit $LASTEXITCODE
}

Write-Host "Building webapp..."
yarn build
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
    exit $LASTEXITCODE
}

Pop-Location

Write-Host "Copying frontend files to package"
Copy-Item -Path "$PSScriptRoot/../../webapp/build/*" -Destination "$publishOutputDirectory\wwwroot" -Recurse -Force

}`

Thank you for answering our question, but we did leave the SkipFrontendFiles by default so it should not have skipped it.
We see zip files in the out folder
