Create Azure Web App fails saying it already exists

Question

I create resource-group :

PS > az group create -l westus -n rg-appsvc

Then I create app-service :

PS > az appservice plan create --resource-group=rg-appsvc --name appsvc-plan-test --sku S1

Then I create web-service :

PS > az webapp create --resource-group rg-appsvc  --plan appsvc-plan-test --name webapp-test

Webapp 'webapp-test' already exists. The command will use the existing app's settings. Unable to retrieve details of the existing app 'webapp-test'. Please check that the app is a part of the current subscription

PS > az webapp list

When you create a Web App, its name will be a subdomain of azurewebsites.net. Looks like the webapp-test name is already in use. Try using a different name.

Thanks. Is there a way to quickly pre-test if a name exists ? – BaltoStar Aug 20 '22 at 21:11
Not with the Azure CLI. You can quickly test if the name is available using the Portal. – CSharpRocks Aug 20 '22 at 21:28
