[BUG] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

[emielsteerneman]

Investigative information

Please provide the following:

• Timestamp: April 29th
• Function App name: functionapp-test-dotenv
• Function name(s) (as appropriate): main
• Core Tools version: 4.0.5611

Repro steps

Step 1: Clone this repository, which is a project I have setup to demonstrate this bug. It is a python 3.11 function app in its most basic form, with dotenv as requirement. Step 2: Deploy this project to a Python 3.11 function app on Azure.

Expected behavior

The function app should deploy and start without errors. The /api/hello endpoint should work.

Actual behavior

An error ModuleError : No module named 'dotenv' is thrown.

Known workarounds

None

Related information

I've ran into this problem a month ago. I have been trying to deploy my actual project for some time now, but I keep running into errors that are not logged anywhere except in screenshot above. Neither the Core Tools, the Github CI/CD Actions, the Logstream, or the App Insights logs (specifically the traces) show any error when deploying. I've managed to trace it back to the dotenv module. Removing the dotenv module from the project makes it run without problem. Locally , using func start, everything works as intended. Only when deploying it to Azure does it fail.

@emielsteerneman are you still facing this issue? Few things to try out with your workflow file:

• Remove the venv
• Install the pip dependencies using this target --target=".python_packages/lib/site-packages

Here is a sample github workflow file. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-how-to-github-actions?tabs=linux%2Cpython&pivots=method-manual#example-workflow-configuration-file

I don't know if I'm still facing this issue. For now I switched to Python 3.10 where this issue is not present. The Github workflow might fix the issue. Unfortunately, doing your steps is not possible with func azure functionapp publish. I don't have the time this week to test the Github workflow, but probably somewhere within the next three weeks.
