Waiting for preLaunchTask 'func: host start'... runs forever when using UseDevelopmentStorage=true for PowerShell

[EvanR-Dev]

On VS Code Desktop

I have a basic Pwsh HTTP Trigger here made using the AzFx extension. I have the Azurite ext installed and set "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true" in local.settings.json. I cannot debug/run the function as it keeps waiting for func: host start. Doing "AzureWebJobsStorage": "" will work. Starting Azurite Blob Service myself will work as well.

There are some inconsistencies between how different runtimes handle this:

• In Python, this works fine
• In Node, it will ask if Azurite is installed or running first

Proposition: a way to attempt to start Azurite when debugging/starting func host before telling the user it's not installed. There is a VS Code command for that: vscode.commands.executeCommand('azurite.start')
This way we can standardize how all runtimes handle this case - as not all triggers will not use Azurite as well
