Release updated tools version *before* rolling out to live Azure

Open briandunnington opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Yesterday an updated version of the functions runtime (v3.0.14191.0) started to roll out across Azure (starting in East US region. It caused an issue with some of our services (we are doing some funky stuff with dependency injection) and caused our functions to fail to start entirely.

We were able to get a fix rolled out, but it was very hard to find the issue because the local tools are still on the older version. Thus we had no way to emulate the Azure environment accurately to reproduce the issue.

Is there a way to get the core tools (even a preview version) before the changes roll out to Azure and affect production systems?

Sounds like thinking may be a GitHub release (or pre-release) with bits available, but client tools like VS Code, NPM, Brew, etc. still use "safe" version, but people can "opt in" to the preview channel with one of these tools
