Azure Function Linux Nodejs and @azure/storage-blob gives error: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined

[DaCao]

I am testing my Azure Nodejs Linux function locally and this code:

import { BlobServiceClient } from "@azure/storage-blob";

const connectionString = process.env[
  "AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING"
] as string;

export const blobServiceClient =
  BlobServiceClient.fromConnectionString(connectionString);

is generating this error message:

john@MacBook-Pro:~/myApp/code/seal/azure_function$ rm -rf dist/ && npm run-script build &&  func start 

> [email protected] build /Users/john/myApp/code/seal/azure_function
> tsc && tsc-alias

This is really odd. Why is simply importing it giving an error?
