How to run custom deployment steps when deploying to App Service for Linux
Well I hope this is the write place to post this question.
I came from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/containers/quickstart-nodejs
I am trying to deploy a nodejs app to azure which has custom build steps.
I would like the deployment to run:
npm install
npm build
After it's deployed
It seems it only runs npm install --production and then tries to run the file listed in the main field of package.json. Although the source is in typescript so I would need to compile it first.
I saw here:
https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Custom-Deployment-Script
That you can add a .deployment file to call deploy.cmd file which will execute commands.
I installed kuduscript, generated the files, and edited them with the correct command but they don't seem to be run when deploying to an App Service for Linux.
I'm also deploying using the Azure App Service VSCode extension so I don't know if that is causing the oddity.

I have tried deploying to a regular / old App Service (Not Linux Container) and it seems to run the steps and deploy as expected.
When deploying on Linus it says:
```
