EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir problem when deploying functions

Hello everyone, I'm getting this problem when deploying a function via Power Shell: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir 'AppData\Local\Application Data'

Tried to run as admin, but it didn't work.

TL;DR

The user is experiencing a problem when deploying a function via PowerShell, specifically an EPERM error related to scandir. A recommended solution is provided to modify the function code and then use `appwrite deploy function` to deploy again. Another user mentions the option to use `appwrite init function` to initialize the function and `appwrite deploy function` to deploy. The user also asks for clarification on how to write the body of the function. The thread includes discussions on using backticks for multi-line code and running the `pwd` command. The user provides a command example for creating a function deployment in Windows PowerShell. The user seeks

uhh where are you running the command? and what are you running?

In my windows power shell. This is the command: appwrite functions createDeployment --functionId=6012cc93d5a7b --activate=true --entrypoint="index.py" --code="."

Docker is running to make the local server available for testing.

Can you execute pwd?

Btw, it's best to use 3 back ticks with multi-line code. See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting

I highly recommend using appwrite init function to initialize your function and appwrite deploy function to deploy

Thanks a lot for your solution. I will try it out and hope it works.

This solution worked, but how can I write the body of the function this way?

Init creates the function code. You can modify it as you'd like and then run appwrite deploy function to deploy again
