I’m developing an Azure Function App using Visual Studio Code:

I’ve generated settings and tasks using the Azure Functions: Initialize Project for Use with VS Code... command.

Several guides instruct me to start the function app by pressing F5 (debug). In this case, what is actually being run? Does Visual Studio Code execute one of the generated tasks (see below)?

Note: When starting the function app by pressing F5 (debug), the Swagger UI endpoints are shown, but not if run I the host start task directly (why?)

tasks.json:
