Azure Function in Node.js and shared files

I am deploying my Azure Functions through a Bitbucket CI. I am able to reference files from a shared directory in multiple functions which is great.

However, when I try to update my shared code and deploy it by pushing to my master branch, I can see the files being updated in my Kudu console, but my functions themselves still appear to have a reference to the old version of the file... I don't have this problem if I turn off my CI.

Any idea what the problem could be and how to work around this?

You can specify that your custom shared directories should be monitored for changes by adding them to a watchDirectories array in your host.json file:

{
    "watchDirectories": [ "Shared" ]
}

The runtime will then monitor files in those directories for changes, and restart/reload as necessary. Note that monitoring for a top level node_modules directory is configured by default.
