True support for multiple function apps in a monorepo

[aaronadamsCA]

I have a "real" monorepo with multiple workspaces under a single root repository (not a multi-root workspace). This extension doesn't support multiple function apps in a true, single-root monorepo. I think it should.

Current impact is that my team can't really develop and deploy multiple function apps in parallel in a single development container. Now I need to set up CI for our function apps, which is fine, but it's also work I was hoping I wouldn't have to do right now. Deploying from VS Code using this extension is a nice fit with rapid prototyping, and it was a surprise to discover you don't support multiple workspaces in a repository.

What is your desired behavior in this situation? Just prompt to select the function app each time?

Maybe another level of the tree? Honestly I'm not sure. I suppose my expectation as I added a couple more function apps was that I'd be able to, say, right-click deploy to each one in the tree.

FYI my use case was webhooks and queue workers; it makes sense for these to be separate function apps in a shared repository, since they share most dependencies (e.g. TypeScript configs and types) but have different runtime requirements (e.g. webhooks need to stay warm whereas queue workers are fine to start cold).

Now that I've set up GitHub Actions to deploy each of my Azure function apps, I'm no longer in need of this extension; it was a great stopgap solution, I just wanted to provide the feedback on what would have kept it useful for us. Thanks!

That's alright, we're switching to Google Cloud Run which offers far better means for running function apps. Still a big Thank You for taking the time to consider making Azure Functions worth using, better luck next time 👋

I came across same problem. I have been trying several hacks to keep mono git repo for multiple Azure function project. It would be good if it supports out of box.
