Publishing on Azure - Filenotfoundexception: Could not find file’D: home site wwwroot myapp.xml'

Question

I am trying to publish an ASP.NET Core Web Api application for an Azure App Api feature.

This error started to appear after I marked "Remove Additional files at Destination":

And after that, I started getting the bug and I couldn’t make it work anymore.

This error occurs when the app tries to find the . XML file for Swagger. I have the following code for this:

// Determine base path for the application.
var basePath = PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationBasePath;

// Complete path
var xmlPath = Path.Combine(basePath, "myapp.xml");

// Set the comments path for the swagger json and ui.
options.IncludeXmlComments(xmlPath); 

And these are the project settings for the XML documentation:

Works perfectly running site on my machine.

Any ideas, please?

I solved this problem by putting the correct output in the project properties, mainly in the mode Release, and then publishing again on Azure.
