Rolling back to the previous version solved the issue in my end. Azure/functions-action@v1.5.1

[paychex-ssmithrand]

Also getting this same issue! Ours is a python deployment.

[patelchandni]

Thank you for raising this. Until the issue is resolved, reverted v1 to v1.5.1

[patelchandni]

Fixed in PR: https://github.com/Azure/functions-action/pull/234

[patelchandni]

Released fix for v1.5.2. Now v1 is pointing again to v1.5.2.

@zagjason-sa-taylorfarms , @GaaraZhu , @paychex-ssmithrand - please confirm issue is fixed on v1. Thank you all!

[Exelscior]

Issue seems fixed now at least for us by returning to v1. Thank-you.
