Azure function deploy from Github Actions crashes with WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1

Question

Context : I have a GitHub Action that deploys an Azure Function. It's crashing every time someone is pushing to 'dev' branch. The only manual "workaround" I found that works is the following;

Go to Azure's Function App > Configuration > Application Settings
Remove WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1 configuration
Rerun all jobs on GitHub Actions (succeeds like this)
Add WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1 configuration again, otherwise I'm stuck in a login loop using msal (NodeJS)

Note that I have two environments. One is 'dev' and the other one is 'prod'.

I tried deploying Azure Function Http Trigger from Master branch then from Dev branch using Github actions and it was successfull, In both the branches, Refer below:-

Master Branch:-

enter image description here

My repository:-

function.json and index.js are inside HttpTrigger1 folder and rest other files are outside it.

enter image description here

My github action workflow:-

name: Build and deploy Node.js project to Azure Function App - siliconfunchttp5

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  workflow_dispatch:

env:
  AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: '.' # set this to the path to your web app project, defaults to the repository root
  NODE_VERSION: '18.x' # set this to the node version to use (supports 8.x, 10.x, 12.x)

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout GitHub Action'
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Setup Node ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }} Environment
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}

      - name: 'Resolve Project Dependencies Using Npm'
        shell: bash
        run: |
          pushd './${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}'
          npm install
          npm run build --if-present
          npm run test --if-present

          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_xxxxxxxxB474E9AAxxx }}

My dev branch:-

Note- I created my Function app in Linux OS.

In order to resolve your error, Make sure your function trigger folder is in correct format like above in the dev branch and no folder or packages are missing and both the branches are in sync. The github action workflow will automatically initiate zip deployment and add the function app settings if necessary.
Clear your previous github action workflows and delete the artifacts and github action cache and re run the Function app workflow again via Azure Portal > Deployment Center and connecting to your Github account and the Function branch.
