🤔 Why Azure Functions Doctor?

  • You're getting random 500 errors and suspect misconfiguration?
  • Need to verify your dev environment before CI/CD deployment?
  • Want a quick health check without digging through docs?

This tool saves time by automating common Azure Functions environment diagnostics.

🚀 Key Features

  • Diagnose Python version, venv, azure-functions package
  • Validate host.json, local.settings.json, and function structure
  • Fully customizable via rules.json (see docs)

🩺 Overview

Azure Functions Doctor is a Python-based CLI tool designed to diagnose and validate your local Azure Functions environment. This tool helps identify configuration issues, missing dependencies, or version mismatches commonly found in Python-based Azure Functions.

The behavior and rules for each check are defined declaratively in the rules.json file located in the project root. This file allows users and developers to customize or extend validation logic without modifying Python code directly. 📘 Learn more: rules.json documentation
