Azure functions with powershell runtime fails to load modules - azure

Question

Have a simple Azure powershell Function. This is triggered by EventGrid, connected to a storage container. Basic function works without any gripe.
The moment I add module dependency everything runtime barfs. As you can see, I included Storage, Account & compute dependency. I tried both complete version and wildcard version. Both fail. I'd appreciate if someone can tell me what is amiss
Requirements.psd1
# This file enables modules to be automatically managed by the Functions service.
# See https://aka.ms/functionsmanageddependency for additional information.
#
#{
# For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'.
# To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.
Az = '8.*'
Accounts = '2.*'
Compute = '4.*'
Storage = '4.*'
}
In order for these modules to be included I added import statements in profile.ps1
# import statements
Import-Module Az.Accounts
Import-Module Az.Compute
Import-Module Az.Storage
# Authenticate with Azure PowerShell using MSI.
# Remove this if you are not planning on using MSI or Azure PowerShell.
if ($env:MSI_SECRET) {
Disable-AzContextAutosave -Scope Process | Out-Null
Connect-AzAccount -Identity
}
run.ps1 file is simple. It parses the input and destructure's all input for processing and attempts to ivoke a remote VM to execute a script. this is where I need compute module
param($eventGridEvent, $TriggerMetadata)
# Make sure to pass hashtables to Out-String so they're logged correctly
# $eventGridEvent | Out-String | Write-Host
# $response = $eventGridEvent | ConvertTo-JSON -Depth 5 | Out-String -Width 200
$topic = $eventGridEvent.topic
$api = $eventGridEvent.data.api
$file = $eventGridEvent.data.url
$fileType = $eventGridEvent.data.contentType
# check for container name and file type and invoke appropriate
# operation in VM
Write-Information "A file change operation happened in $topic"
Write-Host "A file change operation happened in $topic"
Write-Host "$api was invoked on $file of type $fileType"
Write-Host "START execution of script in remote host"
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName 'autosys100-rg' -Name 'autosyslinuxvm' -CommandId 'RunShellScript' -ScriptPath 'install_nginx.sh'
Write-Host "COMPLETED execution of script on remote host"
There's nothign fancy and ludicrously basic :(
Here's the error

Answer 1

Your requirements.psd1 has incorrect module names as you have forgotten the Az. prefix.
#{
# For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'.
# To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.
# Az = '8.*'
'Az.Accounts' = '2.*'
'Az.Compute' = '4.*'
'Az.Storage' = '4.*'
}
I would usually recommend not installing the entire Az module as it takes a long time however the compute, accounts and storage modules should be installed with the Az module so you wouldn't need to specify both.
You also don't need to specify the imports in the profile.ps1 of the function.
If the modules are available on the PSModulePath then you can just use the functions in your run.ps1
