I am not able to open Logic App workflow in designer in VS Code, getting the below error.

Error:

Starting Design Time Api

operable program or batch file.

@Diptangshu Karmakar ,

The error message you're encountering indicates that the func command from the Azure Functions Core Tools is not recognized. This typically means that the Azure Functions Core Tools are not installed correctly or the path to the executable is not set in your environment variables.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check Installation: Ensure that the Azure Functions Core Tools are installed. You can install them via npm with the command: npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@3 --unsafe-perm true
2. Verify Path: Make sure that the path to the func executable is included in your system's PATH environment variable. You can do this by:
   1. Searching for "environment variables" in the Windows search bar and selecting "Edit the system environment variables."
   2. In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
   3. Under "User variables," find and select the PATH variable, then click "Edit."
   4. Ensure the path to the Azure Functions Core Tools (e.g., C:\Users\<your-username>\.azurelogicapps\dependencies\FuncCoreTools) is included.
3. Restart VS Code: After making changes to the environment variables, restart Visual Studio Code to ensure it picks up the new settings.
4. Run Command Again: Try to open the Logic App designer again after performing the above steps.

If the problem persists, you may want to check for any additional errors in the Output window in Visual Studio Code, specifically under "Azure Logic Apps (Standard)."
