I have Python 3.9 code and an Azure DevOps pipeline where it builds and deploy the code to Azure Functions.

The pipeline has been working fine for the past several weeks (it’s new) and there was no deployment recently until I had to fix a few lines of code, then I pushed to Azure Repo which triggers the pipeline. But this time the Function crashed when triggered; this is the error message:

Exception: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘holidays’. Cannot
find module. Please check the requirements.txt file for the missing
module.

This is my requirements.txt file, which clearly states the holidays module version.

azure-functions
azure-functions-durable
azure-identity==1.14.0
azure-keyvault-secrets==4.7.0
azure-storage-blob==12.17.0
dotmap==1.3.30
holidays==0.32
json5==0.9.14
numpy==1.25.2
pandas==2.1.0
pyodbc==4.0.39
pytz==2023.3.post1
requests_oauthlib==1.3.1
sqlalchemy==2.0.20

If I deploy from VS Code using Azure Functions extension, the code runs fine without any error, so I’m suspecting that the DevOps pipeline is acting weird (despite nobody changed anything on the YAML file)

This is my azure-pipelines.yml file

trigger:
  - main

  azureSubscription: '<REDACTED>'
  functionAppName: <REDACTED>
  functionAppProjectPath: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/
  pythonVersion: '3.9'
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

    - job: Build

      pool:
        vmImage: $(vmImage)
      
      steps:
        - task: UsePythonVersion@0
          inputs:
            versionSpec: $(pythonVersion)

        - bash: |
            pip install -r requirements.txt

          inputs:

            includeRootFolder: false
            archiveType: zip
            archiveFile: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/$(Build.BuildId).zip
            replaceExistingArchive: true

        - publish: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/$(Build.BuildId).zip
          artifact: drop

  condition: succeeded()
  jobs:
    - deployment: Deploy
      displayName: Deploy
      environment: <REDACTED>
      pool:
        vmImage: $(vmImage)
      strategy:
        runOnce:
          deploy:
            steps:
              - task: AzureFunctionApp@2
                displayName: 'Azure Function App Deploy'
                inputs:
                  appType: functionAppLinux
                  appName: $(functionAppName)
                  azureSubscription: $(azureSubscription)
                  package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/drop/$(Build.BuildId).zip'

I don’t know what’s wrong here. Hoping someone could point the problem out. Thanks.
