F# NuGet packages in Azure Functions

Using csx scripts in Azure Functions I can use the Project.json file to install nuget packages, but when I'm using fsx scripts the packages aren't installed (the log console never shows the Starting NuGet restore message). The only way I found is installing locally and uploading the dependencies. Am I missing something?

I think that the current execution model for F# in Azure functions does not support project.json. There is a work in progress PR to improve F# support that will enable this.

For now, I think there are two options:

  • Install the packages locally and upload them to Azure (as you are doing)
  • If you're deploying via git, then I think the deployment lets you run deployment script (in the same way in which Azure WebSites let you run a deployment script).

I have not tested the second approach with Azure functions, but I think it could work. For example, see the F# Snippets' deployment script which calls a build script that starts by using Paket to restore dependencies. This way, you need just paket.bootstrapper.exe and paket.dependencies with paket.lock to specify your NuGet dependencies.
