title: Azure not publishing Node.js App correctly
body: <h3>TL;DR</h3>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Node.js app hosted on Azure as a Cloud Service.</li>
  <li>Publishing fails(app not uploaded) but appears to have worked.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h3>Explained:</h3>
  
  <p>I have an account on Windows Azure where I have used both Websites and Cloud Services.  I moved my website to a cloud service to be able to use custom domains.</p>
  
  <p>Since moving, I use Azure cmdlets to publish my Node.js webserver. Before publishing worked fine, usually taking between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. Once published, the website contains the most recent content.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that now, publishing takes less than 2 minutes, no errors are thrown, and the content is not updated. <strong>Why is my app not publishing it's content?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Below is my publishing output:</p>
