Azure + Release = 500 on cassette.axd

[mikethedarv]

Everything works great locally and remotely when debug = "true". However, once published in release mode (and settings debug to false), all calls to the cassette.axd file throws a 500 with the following error message:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'script/js/dashboard/b955baf4713c9f6f2c09183f1d4217c560be3960.js'.

(The path differs per bundle but same error message).

Any ideas what is causing this error?

Thanks

Did you find a way to fix this Mike?

[mikethedarv]

I can't remember how I fixed it but it's working now. Which version/nuget packages are you referencing?

[michaeldimoudis]

We had version 2.2.2 I just updated it to 2.4.2, I'll see how that goes.

[mikethedarv]

I just checked and that's the version we're using, so I believe upgrading fixed it.

[damiensawyer]

Hi all. Still getting this on 2.4.2.14968. Any suggestions appreciated.

[michaeldimoudis]

We are still getting this but very infrequently on AWS in latest 2.4.2 version. @damiensawyer did you manage to find a workaround?

[damiensawyer]

Sorry @michaeldimoudis, I didn't find a solution. From memory, I didn't need the newer features of Cassette, so just rolled back to an older version. I can find out which one if you need me to. That older version has been stable in production for a few years.

[michaeldimoudis]

@damiensawyer that would be great!! Thanks for that, we don't use newer features too, so if an older version is stable that's all we need.

[damiensawyer]

@michaeldimoudis, it looks like it's
Cassette 2.0.0
Cassette.Aspnet 2.0.0
Cassette.Views 2.0.0

I'm 95% sure that's correct. I'm not on my development machine and am just looking at source. The nuget setup in the project in question is a bit of a mess, hence the 'best guess'.

I am using 2.4.2 on Azure without issues. I don't think I'm doing anything special--are you using continuous deploy or web publish? When I have had an issue or two, deleting the cassette directory under App_Data in the Kudu console usually resolves it.

I am using:

<cassette cacheDirectory="App_Data/cassette" />
