Azure Static Web Apps - Using the Astro Static Site Generator

As a follow-up on the presentation I did at CloudBrew about Azure Static Web Apps I want to write a series of blog posts.

Yesterday I showed you how to deploy your first Static Web App using the VSCode extension. As an example I used a static website created using Astro.

What I didn’t mention is that the first time the Github Actions workflow tried to build and deploy the application it failed with the following error message:

Build error:

Node.js v16.20.2 is not supported by Astro!

Please upgrade Node.js to a supported version: ">=18.14.1"

The problem is that the Github Action that is created by the extension assumes the use of node 14. As Astro requires a more recent Node.js version the Astro build fails. To resolve this we need to update our package.json to explicitly specify a node version by adding an engines section:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
