I am trying to deploy my static website to blob storage in azure with azure DevOps, but I am getting this error. In my pipeline, I am using grunt build to build, and archive it to zip, then publishing to the azure pipeline, then in the release, I am extracting files, and trying to upload these files with azure CLI task.

I am using following command az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination ‘$web’ --source ./

My Container name is $web

Answer 1

I solved this problem by removing apostrophes around container name: az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination $web --source ./
