Renaming functions in Visual Studio creates a new function in the Function App

[CrazyTuna]

I am using Visual Studio 2017 et Azure Function Sdk.

1. I have created a simple function "test-function" and deployed it. On the portal, I could see this new function.

2. Then I renamed this function to "real-function" and redeployed. On the portal, another function has been created.

I now have two functions but I can't delete the first one because functions were generated and the function app is in readonly mode.

When you publish from Visual Studio, there is an option in the settings of the publish configuration profile that let's you "Remove additional files at destination".

If you check that, it should remove the old function when it does the next publish.

Oh gosh... I feel stupid now :-)

Thanks !

There is an analogous setting to this under "Additional Deployment Options" in the VSTS Azure App Service Deploy action, meaning you can also have self-resetting apps with CI/CD in VSTS.
