We do not have any public documentation that describes how to troubleshoot and fix this issue.

Below is an answer on how to fix this issue from ChatGPT. Could you please verify this information and add anything that might be missing? Also, if the troubleshooting instructions are different for the V1 and V2 programming models, please create a section for each.

ChatGPT Answer: If you're encountering the "0 functions loaded" issue for your Node.js Azure Function, it means that the Azure Functions runtime was unable to discover and load any functions within your project. This issue can have several causes, and I'll outline some steps to troubleshoot and resolve it:

  1. Check Your Function Code:

    • Ensure that you have one or more functions defined in your Node.js project. Functions should be defined as JavaScript functions or exported from separate JavaScript files, and they should use appropriate triggers (e.g., HTTP, timer) or bindings (e.g., Blob, Queue) as specified in the function.json file.
  2. Function Names and Triggers:

    • Confirm that your function names and triggers match the names specified in the function.json files. These names should be unique and correspond to the functions you want to trigger.
  3. Function Project Structure:

    • Verify that your project has the correct structure for Azure Functions. It should include a folder structure that follows the convention (e.g., MyFunctionProject/functionName/index.js).
  4. Function Configuration:

    • Check your local.settings.json or application settings for any configuration issues that might prevent the Azure Functions runtime from initializing correctly.
  5. Node.js Version:

    • Ensure that you're using a supported version of Node.js for Azure Functions. Check the Azure Functions documentation for the recommended and supported Node.js versions.
  6. Logs and Errors:

    • Check the Azure Functions runtime logs for any error messages or warnings that might provide clues about why functions are not loading. You can use the Azure Functions Core Tools (func CLI) to view the logs.
  7. Dependencies:

    • Ensure that you have correctly installed any required dependencies or npm packages in your Node.js environment. Use npm install or yarn to install the required packages specified in your package.json file.
  8. Azure Functions Extension:

    • Ensure that you have the Azure Functions extension installed in your development environment. You might need this extension for local debugging and development.
  9. Function Signature and Parameters:

    • Check that the function signatures and parameters match the expected format for Azure Functions. Functions should accept context and request parameters (if applicable).
  10. Azure Function Hosting Plan:

    • Verify that your Azure Function App hosting plan is correctly configured and that you are deploying to the correct plan.
  11. Update Azure Functions Runtime:

    • Ensure that you have the latest version of the Azure Functions runtime installed on your Azure hosting environment if you're deploying there.

First of all, I'm not a big fan of "ChatGPT" issues :) We get enough issues from humans, let alone robots. It reminds me of high schoolers trying to hit a word count in an essay - yeah the stuff is kinda related, but it's mostly just fluff.

We added a general Node.js troubleshooting guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-node-troubleshoot

We plan to continue improving that guide, but I think we can close this particular issue.
