Create New Project defaults to Python

[mnbf9rca]

Whenever i select the Azure Functions: Create New Project option in VS Code, it always defaults to Python - i don't get asked what language to use. Then when i select Create New Function it's in Python.

I've tried setting "azureFunctions.projectLanguage": "JavaScript" in .vscode/settings.json and although the boilerplate is created for a JS function, the FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME value in local.settings.json is still Python, and it creates a requirements.txt not package.json file, and the .gitignore is for Python not JS.

Hi @mnbf9rca

Have you started in a brand new/empty folder when you tried creating a new project?

Is it possible that you have set azureFunctions.projectLanguage as a User or Global setting? If this is the case, I believe that it is being used preferentially over the workspace setting.

Could you please check your user settings for me?

Yes, this is the problem. I don't recall setting it though if i did it was years ago! It would probably help to include a reference somewhere in the startup tutorials? I tried googling but all i could find was this question which doesnt say how to fix it (despite being marked as answered)!
