`swa deploy` does not update `staticwebapp.config.json`

[DanielHabenicht]

Describe the bug When changing the {appLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json file and redeploying it (swa deploy) without rebuilding the application every time (e.g. for configuring routing or authentication) the configuration file inside the {outputLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json is not updated and thus subsequent changes are not applied to the static web app.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Build an app
2. Type in command swa deploy
   • Notice how the configured {appLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json is copied to {outputLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json.
3. Change the {appLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json
4. Type in command swa deploy
   • The {outputLocation}/staticwebapp.config.json is not overriden but stays the same as before.

Expected behavior staticwebapp.config.json in the dist folder should be overridden with the configured one before each deployment.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. Just found it in the verbose output. If not file exists it seems to be copied, but otherwise this log output is missing:

Copying 'staticwebapp.config.json' to build output

Workaround rm {outputFolder}/staticwebapp.config.json && swa deploy
