[VsCode] Connecting to a task hub results in error like 'npm list -g --depth=0 npm ERR! ...'

See original GitHub issue

Starting from v5.2 DfMon’s VsCode extension resolves the full true path to func.exe by executing npm list -g --depth=0 (to get the location of npm’s global packages) and then looking for azure-functions-core-tools package in that folder.

It appears, that npm list -g --depth=0 might fail, if there’s any corruption/incompatibility in those global packages.

If you’re getting an error related to this, then the quick solution is to explicitly specify full path to func.exe (or just func on some platforms) via this setting:

On Windows that path typically looks like C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\azure-functions-core-tools\bin\func.exe. On other platforms it will be different, but similarly related to npm’s global folder.

Apologize, I should have tested this with yarn on Windows (I only tested on Linux).

Please, specify the explicit path to func.exe as a workaround.
