Deploying with template results in an Azure Function that is not operational.

[zanawar]

This sample doesn't work when using the deployment template.

With functions v2 runtime (seems to be the default on deployment):
2018-10-22T23:48:30.072 [Error] run.csx(xx,xx): error CS1501: No overload for method 'CreateResponse' takes 2 arguments
And if you attempt to fix the compile error you get:
Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference

It also fails to run the function with functions v1 with the message:
Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference
