CLI: Running new node.js function fails...

Please provide a succinct description of the issue.

Repro steps

Provide the steps required to reproduce the problem.

I have a video of the behavior here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Al5K6Hl-Z2ggovkBH9Xy6sM4TpBgCQ

1. Create a new folder for your function app
2. Run func init
3. Run func new and select:
   • List templates by language
   • JavaScript
   • TimerTrigger-NodeJS
   • name the new function timerTriggerJs
4. fun func run .\timerTriggerJs --cli-dev
5. When prompted, type “yes” to enable the launching of the web server.
6. A window flashes briefly with the error message Unable to parse option verb
7. An exception is reported at the command line:

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:7071

   at NCli.ConsoleApp.<RunAsync>d__5`1.MoveNext()

Expected behavior

It’s never worked for me, but I assume it is supposed to launch a server that runs the function.

Actual behavior

Window flashes with Unable to parse option verb message then closes and the exception shown above is returned.

Known workarounds

none.

Using Node.js

Please reopen - it still does not work for me.

Install of npm i -g azure-functions-cli@0.2.11-preview​​​ works, but func shows Azure Functions Cli (0.2.10.0)

func run func1 does not work: Error: unknown argument run, but func function run func1 works (-> maybe wrong documentation?), but causes the same errors as reported above.​​​
