Commandlet now found - needs restart

[mariotoffia]

Hi,

We're using powershell as a azure function and it has on two occasions out of the blue failed to find commandlets. The only thing to resolve it is to restart the function app.

The strange thing is that it works when running kudu PowerShell console, even while azure function fails.

Here's a sample log:

This likely may be a quirk with how PowerShell runs today in experimental mode as [explained here] (https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/wiki/Language-support).

@tohling not sure if you have any ideas what this may be as I know you've dealt with this a bit in the past?

In meantime best issue to track the fix to this would actually be PowerShell support in v2 which is being tracked here:
