I have an azure functions app running on [email protected]

I need to use requests module, so at the top of the .py file I’ve added ‘import requests’. I’ve also added requests to requirements.txt.

I have CI/CD configured with GitHub Actions. The yml is attached.

My understanding is MS should install the reqs in requirements.txt and make them available however, when I add import requests to the py file. No functions show in the azure portal. If I remoe the import then the functions are again visible.

Is it possible that the packages are being loaded but when the python function app starts it’s starting from a different bin and as a result no packages are present? Or am I missing a step/approach with my yaml?

How should I correctly load the requirements.txt? is my flow correct?
