Dependency missing for azure functions
Frank683 opened this issue · 3 comments
When following the tutorial the step where the azure functions are to be started locally with npm start in the ./api folder fails because the Azure Function Core Tools are missing.
They are not listed as dependency in api/package.json and the tutorial doesn't list it as a prerequisite either.
Finally I found instructions how to make it work here
but no clue whether to use v2 or v3 and no documented release process so we know if master is release or working branch.
Decided ot use this https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/releases/tag/3.0.2534
You need to install the Azure Function Core Tools globally first before you can run the functions
Yarn: yarn global add azure-functions-core-tools or
npm: npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools
yes, as @adebiyial says the functions core tools are required. These are listed in the first page of the Learn tutorial (I know it can easily be missed). I recently also added a reminder for this on the exercise for functions.
