I am not sure if this is the correct place to comment but I have run into issues following along with this course on lesson “Basic Azure Function Creation”. Every time I try to execute the function in visual studio I get the error: “Failed to connect. Make sure your project is running locally.”
I have node.js installed, I believe I have the latest Azure functions core tools. I think the issue has to do with not recognizing Azure functions because right after I “Finish creating Project” in the window for “init .py” it is underlining azure.functions.
What is the best way to move past this?

Thank you!
In case anyone else has the same issue, I found a work around. After hours or searching, I was unable to figure out how to test locally in visual studio, however I was able to skip around the testing and deploy straight to Azure.
A detailed explanation can be found in visual studio if you go to the Azure functions extension “Details” section and follow all the steps but skip “Run the serverless app locally”.
