Azure Spring Apps deployment with Maven causes error : Invalid arguments: DeploymentSettings must be provided

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Spring Boot application to Microsoft Azure Spring Apps using Maven.

I strictly followed this tutorial from Microsoft : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/spring-apps/how-to-maven-deploy-apps , except for the azure-spring-apps-maven-plugin which had to be upgraded from 1.10.0 to 1.17.0, as per follows :

mvn com.microsoft.azure:azure-spring-apps-maven-plugin:1.17.0:config

But when running the deploy command with the sample project :

mvn azure-spring-apps:deploy

The following "Invalid arguments: DeploymentSettings must be provided" error occurs :

[ERROR] Operator called default onErrorDropped
reactor.core.Exceptions$StaticThrowable: Operator has been terminated
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The HelloSpring sample application does not require any specific configuration (no database, no file storage, no https certificates, etc.).

Any idea of what I may be doing wrong?

Azure Spring Apps deployment with Maven causes error : Invalid arguments: DeploymentSettings must be provided

I would suggest you to run mvn clean install before deploying your application to Azure Spring Apps.

And also Check if the below configuration is being added in your pom.xml file after running mvn com.microsoft.azure:azure-spring-apps-maven-plugin:1.17.0:config.

<plugin>
        <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
        <artifactId>azure-spring-apps-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.17.0</version>
        <configuration>
                    
            <subscriptionId>Azure_SUbscription_id</subscriptionId>
            <resourceGroup>Resource_group_name</resourceGroup>
            <clusterName>kpspringapp</clusterName>
            <appName>springboot-crud</appName>
            <isPublic>false</isPublic>
            <deployment>
                  <cpu>1</cpu>
                  <memoryInGB>1</memoryInGB>
                  <instanceCount>1</instanceCount>
                  <runtimeVersion>Java 11</runtimeVersion>
                  <resources>
                      <resource>
                          <filtering/>
                          <mergeId/>
                          <targetPath/>
                        <directory>${project.basedir}/target</directory>
                          <includes>
                               <include>*.jar</include>
                          </includes>
                       </resource>
                   </resources>
              </deployment>
         </configuration>
    </plugin>

I have created a spring boot application and deployed to Azure Spring Apps:

1. Logged into Azure via command line.

2. Generating the configurations to deploy the Spring Boot application to Azure Spring Apps by running mvn com.microsoft.azure:azure-spring-apps-maven-plugin:1.17.0:config command. This will ask to select the subscription, Resource group, Azure Spring Apps name, Java runtime version etc., and then generate the configurations required for deployment.

I was also getting errors initially and couldn't deploy the application. But, after running the command mvn clean install, I was able to deploy the application to spring apps.

Everything works perfectly if you are NOT using the "Standard Consumption" plan. If you use at least "Basic" everything works as it should. I have retested this a few times and each time it works fine with "Basic" but not "Consumption" as I get same error as you each time.

Obviously this is not ideal, perhaps there is update coming soon? I would much rather use the new consumption plan
