Referencing modules

Currently, any file / module references in main.py have to be with respect to the top level function app.

For e.g. -

FunctionApp
    |__ HttpTrigger1
             |__ function.json
             |__ main.py
             |__ model.pkl
    |__ host.json
    |__ requirements.txt

# main.py
import os
import azure.functions

def main(req: azure.functions.HttpRequest):

    # file reference wrt top level function app
    f = open('HttpTrigger1/model.pkl', 'rb')
   

Can we have relative paths instead? E.g. - f = open('model.pkl', 'rb')

Modules should be imported using the relative import syntax:

from . import example

Hi,

My issue is if I want to import a function say function1 in module1 of SharedCode, but for me the SharedCode is inside the API folder, like below

FunctionApp
|_ HttpTrigger1
     |_ __init__.py
     |_ function.json
     |_ SharedCode
        |_ module1.py
        |_ module2.py
|_ HttpTrigger2
     |_ __init__.py
     |_ function.json

The functions are defined inside module1 and module2

Usually I’d have done from ShareCode.module1 import function1

That does not work.

from .ShareCode.module1 import function1 also gives module not found error, shown below

Executed ‘Functions.HtmBatchAzureFunc’ (Failed, Id=d70ee3dc-dca2-4d89-b39c-5c902ed64b11) [5/22/19 8:54:05 PM] System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function: Functions.HtmBatchAzureFunc.

Can anyone help
