pip install packages where multiple python versions installed

This is mainly targeted to developers like me who are coming to Python from other technologies. For seasoned Python developers managing packages from multiple versions would be muscle memory.

The main concern of this video is to address how we can manage the packages in a machine having multiple python versions installed.

Azure @ Enterprise - App Service Deployment Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open

I was fiddling with deployment via the Kudo console in the Azure app service. Removed one file as part of testing. The expectation was that the next deployment would put the file back.

The next deployment from GitHub actions failed with the below message.

33      Cleaning up temp folders from previous zip deployments and extracting pushed zip file /tmp/zipdeploy/5b7989fd-9794-4ed0-8bfc-dbf1f18c686b.zip (4.31 MB) to /tmp/zipdeploy/extracted

34

Error: Failed to deploy web package to App Service.

35

Error: Deployment Failed, Package deployment using ZIP Deploy failed. Refer logs for more details.

36

App Service Application URL: https://<app service web app name>.azurewebsites.net

test

No more details on failure in GH Actions logs. There was an error as shown below in the Azure AppService Deployment center.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/site/wwwroot/Azure.Core.dll

That was the exact file I removed earlier.

Debugging

Hypothesis 1

The file may be open in a Kudu console, hence unable to access it. 

But even after closing, the error persisted.

Hypothesis 2

The App Service deployment action in GHActions requires the file to be present there as that may be keeping track of files.

Even after manually uploading the file, the issue persists

Solution

Finally attempted the Microsoft-certified solution of Restarting the App service. It worked.

The order is to stop the App service, do the deployment, and start again.

Get Graph Id of folder or file in SharePoint Online UI without code

Often when we work with SharePoint Online via its APIs we will encouter situations to know the Graph id of documents or folders. Mainly when we want to debug our automation code or any code written aginst Graph API. The Graph Id is currently not displayed anywhere in the UI. This video shows how can we get the Graph Id of a document from UI or without writing code.
