Avast Antivirus and quarantined StaticSitesClient.exe (Error: EPERM)

[Mesicni]

Description
Rather then a bug, this is warning, that with the new version of Teams Toolkit and Avast Anitivirus,
the file StaticSitesClient.exe is quarantined during deploying static app to Azure environment.
This behavior occurred with the new version of Teams Toolkit deployed in October 2024.

The error log:

_[Error] - Failed to Execute lifecycle deploy due to failed action: {"name":"deploy to Azure Static Web Apps","uses":"cli/runNpxCommand"}. ScriptExecutionError:Unable to execute script action. Script: npx @azure/static-web-apps-cli deploy ./build -d <REDACTED:secret> --env production. Error: `- Downloading https:***

Hi @Mesicni, to resolve the issue with StaticSitesClient.exe being quarantined by Avast Antivirus, could you:

• Restore StaticSitesClient.exe from the quarantine in Avast Antivirus.
• Add an exception for StaticSitesClient.exe in Avast Antivirus to prevent it from being quarantined again.

By the way, if you have set the app_location to the root path of your repository, this might be causing the issue. If that's the case, could you please change the app_location from "." to "/src" (or another subdirectory)? Thanks!

Hi @cjk7989 . That is what I did, it is in the Fix section of my initial message.
I have posted this mainly for the other users, they might experience same problem.

The app is nested in my user folder, but it is good idea to check the permissions there too.

Thank you.
