The Github actions workflow that Azure creates automatically for deploying function apps does not work.

[Tylersuard]

Hello. I am able to deploy my Azure Function App from VS Code using the Function App extension. However, I cannot deploy using the Github Actions file that was generated for me by Azure when I connected my function app to my repo. None of my functions are found when I use it. Here is what Azure generated for me:
