@MughundhanRaveendran-MSFT - Thanks for the quick response. I tried to check azure function core tools installed in my machine. But not sure how or where to check. Also, when i checked the project properties, i am not ale to see the executable options as mentioned above. Pasting the screenshot which i am getting in my project properties. Also, when i checked in the folder in AppData\Roaming, there is no such npm folder exists. Please guide me to resolve this.
