Relative path for scriptFile

[bondz]

I'm trying to setup a bot function using typescript, my app is compiled in a build folder which contains an index.js, I've tried to set the path in function.json in the root directory using relative and absolute paths. but the app won't boot unless the file is in the same location as function.json

{
  "disabled": false,
  "scriptFile": "./build/index.js",
  "bindings": [
    {
      "authLevel": "function",
      "type": "httpTrigger",
      "direction": "in",
      "name": "req"
    },
    {
      "type": "http",
      "direction": "out",
      "name": "res"
    }
  ]
}

My folder structure is

|   .gitignore
|   host.json
|   
+---messages
|   |   function.json
|   |   package.json
|   |   test.js
|   |   
|   +---.vscode
|   |       launch.json
|   |       
|   \---build
|           index.js
|           
\---PostDeployScripts
        runGulp.cmd

I've tried build/index.js, D://site.../build/index.js

Just checking now, and it looks like #1132 solves this. Not sure if its published yet though.

Right - that release is rolling out now. The issue is likely that you don't have it yet. ETA is today for the release to complete.

[bondz]

OK, thanks. I'll check again in a few hours.

Closing this as the release should fix your issue.

[bondz]

👍 It works, although, https://{BotID}.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/functions stops showing anything when a relative path is used. 😥

[lindydonna]

Yes, we have a bug to track this: projectkudu/kudu#2334

@bondz We actually had to roll back part of the latest release, so the scriptFile update will stop working once your site restarts (this is why we didn't advertise the feature widely). You can manually pin to a pre-release version by setting the app setting FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION to 1.0.10765.

@lindydonna thanks, done that.
