When installing Azure Functions Core Tools under latest Node.js version, the extracted files are corrupt

Underlying issue: https://github.com/ZJONSSON/node-unzipper/issues/271

PS C:\Users\hajek> node --version
v18.16.0

The issue happens when https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/blob/v4.x/src/Azure.Functions.Cli/npm/lib/install.js is triggered.

FYI - for anyone else hitting this I was able to fix it by pinning the Node version to 18.15, it seems 18.16+ is where things start breaking

If you use Azure Functions Core Tools for Azure DevOps build then you also need to change the path to node modules because they are no longer in the /usr/local/lib/node_modules directory but it’s located in /opt/hostedtoolcache/node/18.5.0

so to summarize I needed to add a stage that “updates” npm to 18.5 version like:

- task: NodeTool@0
  displayName: 'Use Node 18.5.x'
  inputs:
    versionSpec: 18.5.x

and change the path from:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/azure-functions-core-tools/bin/func.dll

to

/opt/hostedtoolcache/node/18.5.0/x64/lib/node_modules/azure-functions-core-tools/bin/func.dll
