I am trying to set up a basic Azure Functions Local Environment by following instructions here, however, after reaching the step and try to run it F5 I get following error in the terminal.

> Executing task: npm install <
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I havent even changed anything, and its all just basic code and configurations.

My node path C:\Program Files\nodejs is already added to PATH in environment variables.

Any idea what this error could be about? TIA!

I tried to reproduce the issue by following the same documentation provided in the question.

1. Created a workspace folder for the azure function in my local environment : C:\Users\surya\source\repos\suryanodejsazfunctionapp
2. Open VS Code > Click on Azure function extension > Click on new project - It will ask you to choose the workspace path in which i have chosen the above path.
3. Selected Java Script Language > HTTP trigger template and the authorization level as anonymous
4. By default, some boiler plate code is created by VS code and executed using F5 command

NOTE :

1. Check Azure function core tools version using func version and node version using node --version (Download node 14 or 16 and AZ function core tools 3 or 4v)

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

For the above error, please check through this SO thread
