LA Standard VSCode extension always fails to find NodeJs & FuncCoreTools binary

[abvincita]

Severity

P2 - High (Major functionality broken)

Describe the Bug with repro steps

Azure Logic Apps (Standard) VS Code extension successfully installed all the required dependencies, however everytime I open a Logic App workspace, the extension complains that NodeJs binary and FuncCoreTools binary are missing.

Expected behaviour:

• The Azure Logic Apps (Standard) extension is able to read the NodeJs and FuncCoreTools binary and just loads without redownloading the dependency.

Actual behaviour:

• The extension outputs that NodeJs binary and FuncCoreTools binary are missing.
• Then it proceeds to download and unpack the huge Azure Function Core Tools zip every single time, which really slows down development.

Steps to reproduce

• Install VS Code
• Install Azure Logic Apps (Standard) extension, wait until it successfully installs everything and the .azurelogicapps\dependencies\FuncCoreTools and .azurelogicapps\dependencies\NodeJs folder is populated
• Open any Logic App workspace
• The extension will auto-validate the runtime dependencies and look at the Output window - this process should be able to verify that the NodeJs and FuncCoreTools binaries are already there, but it throws "NodeJs binary is missing" and "FuncCoreTools binary is missing" instead.

NodeJs Binaries: C:\Users\DE07192\.azurelogicapps\dependencies\NodeJs NodeJs binary is missing: C:\Users\DE07192\.azurelogicapps\dependencies\NodeJs\node FuncCoreTools Binaries: C:\Users\DE07192\.azurelogicapps\dependencies\FuncCoreTools FuncCoreTools binary is missing: C:\Users\DE07192\.azurelogicapps\dependencies\FuncCoreTools\func Downloading dependency from: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/releases/download/4.12.1/Azure.Functions.Cli.win-x64.4.12.1.zip Creating temporary folder... C:\Users\DE07192\AppData\Local\Temp\2\.azurelogicapps\FuncCoreTools Successfully downloaded FuncCoreTools dependency.

I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling VS Code and the extension but still same results.

The only workaround is to disable the azureLogicAppsStandard.autoRuntimeDependenciesValidationAndInstallation in the extension settings, so the issue must be in this auto runtime dependencies validation.

What type of Logic App Is this happening in?

Standard (VSCode)

I'm getting the same issue. Not sure if it is because it is looking for func rather than func.exe but it fails and reinstalls every time. I'm currently avoiding this by setting azureLogicAppsStandard.autoRuntimeDependenciesValidationAndInstallation to false and relying on my system level installations.

I've also noticed that azurite no longer starts automatically but that may be an unrelated issue

The annoying part is that when you fix it locally and it came back again and again with every update. The fix should be simple: Make sure the check includes the extension of the binary (ie, "xxxx.exe") in the verification js logic.
