I am trying to deploy a simple flask application to an Azure App Service container, however when deploying from github repository I am getting an error saying ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'.

I have the requirements.txt file in the project populated using pip freeze > requirements.txt.

        with:
          name: python-app

      - name: 'Deploy to Azure Web App'
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        id: deploy-to-webapp
        with:
          app-name: 'b00782310-com774'
          slot-name: 'Production'
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_AF561207AFB44DF1B5B6F54DFA612E98 }}

Any help would be appreciated, tried a lot of tips online but cannot get it working.

Have you tried including ‘requests’ in your requirements:

...
pycparser==2.21
pymongo==4.3.3
requests == 2.28.1
six==1.16.0
Werkzeug==2.2.2
...

Or add it directly to your yml dependencies, i.e.

- name: Install dependencies
  run: |
        pip install -r requirements.txt
        python -m pip install requests

This is pretty new to me too – but hopefully this helps.

There’s some decent help in app-service msft github repo too
