Azure Function Add-PodeTimer exception even though it's not being used.

[mdg-pnw]

Describe the Bug

I'm following: https://badgerati.github.io/Pode/Hosting/AzureFunctions/#the-server

When I run this, I am getting an exception even though I don't have Add-PodeTimers in my script. It seems like it's not recognizing that it's serverless.

Steps To Reproduce

using namespace System.Net

    param($Request, $TriggerMetadata)

    $endpoint = '/api/isops'

    Start-PodeServer -Request $TriggerMetadata -ServerlessType AzureFunctions -RootPath '../www' {
        # get route that can return data
        Add-PodeRoute -Method Get -Path $endpoint -ScriptBlock {
            Write-PodeJsonResponse -Value @{ 'Data' = 'some random data' }
        }

        # post route to create some data
        Add-PodeRoute -Method Post -Path $endpoint -ScriptBlock {
            New-Thing -Name $WebEvent.Data['Name']
        }

        # put route to update some data
        Add-PodeRoute -Method Put -Path $endpoint -ScriptBlock {
            Update-Thing -Name $WebEvent.Data['Name']
        }
    }

When I run this in VSCode using the Azure Core Tools, I'm getting an exception:

EXCEPTION: The Add-PodeTimer function is not supported in a serverless context.

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting the page to load.

Platform

• OS: Windows
• Browser: FireFox
• Versions:
  • Pode: Pode v.2.11
  • PowerShell: [e.g. PS7.4.5]

Additional Context

I'm running this in VSCode before uploading it to Azure. I'm not sure if it's checking something on my local system to determine whether it's serverless or not. I would expect that if -ServerlessType is set, then that would be the context it would use.

Hi @mdg-pnw,

I've managed to reproduce the issue, and committed a fix for it just now.

The error was happening because Pode's caching feature configures a Timer to expire items, when running via Serverless this isn't needed.
