Ciao! Dynamic Providers are still not supported in .NET correct? Is there a way to create the $Web folder in an Azure Storage Account using C# ?

This is correct. Check this post https://blog.headforcloud.com/2020/02/09/pulumi-azure-static-sites/ for a workaround

Thank you Mikhail!! And do you know if there are some problems on Pulumi service today? Because trying a pulumi up command results in infinite command line wait without any response, I also tried to recreate the stack from scratch... 🤔

@tall-librarian-49374 I was going to submit that as an example soon - say you a job. Also had a few other examples

@stocky-crayon-93563 That would be fabulous! I extended your example to upload Blob files from the folder on local disk, so that the website is immediately clickable. If you could do the same, double kudos!

Sorry Mikhail I solved, and was my mistake

FWIW, it looks like we’ll have native support for Azure static websites really soon

Hey, Good one @stocky-crayon-93563, I know this might sound crazy but I couldn’t get enabling static site to work unless I switch the

EnableStaticSites

to synchronous call so my call to EnableStaticSites is like this

if (!Deployment.Instance.IsDryRun)
                storageAccount.PrimaryBlobConnectionString.Apply(v => EnableStaticSites(v) );

and the method looks like this

static string EnableStaticSites(string connectionString)
        {
            CloudStorageAccount sa = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);

            var blobClient = sa.CreateCloudBlobClient();
            ServiceProperties blobServiceProperties = new ServiceProperties();
            blobServiceProperties.StaticWebsite = new StaticWebsiteProperties
            {
                Enabled = true,
                IndexDocument = "index.html",
                ErrorDocument404Path = "404.html"
            };
            blobClient.SetServicePropertiesAsync(blobServiceProperties).Wait();
            return connectionString;
        }

Do you have any suggestions? @tall-librarian-49374

I actually fixed this in my local version. Let me see if I can push this to PR…

Awesome @tall-librarian-49374, that was extremely fast response 👍.

I merged the example to https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/azure-cs-static-website and added a workaround to make files depend on the static $web container

I just tested without uploading the files and still not working for me. I will test with uploading the files now

Hmm, then it’s a different problem. What is the error that you get?

I didn’t get any errors actually, the resource group and storage account created but it was never marked as static site. I tested with blob upload and the site was marked as static. That made me think that may be because it is an Output and nothing depends on it, the application was closing before it is resolved which might mean closing before finishing the EnableStaticSite (I am just guessing). I have removed the upload of blob files and put the containerName into the return dictionary and it worked like magic

{"containerName", containerName}

Thanks for updating that example @tall-librarian-49374 I had wondered if my initial example would potentially have a race condition where the files are uploaded before the $web folder is created.

Yes, the files were failing for me, so added this sequencing workaround
