Azure Function Binding Types - The binding type(s) 'webPubSubTrigger' were not found in the configured extension bundle

Question

I'm trying to trigger an Azure Function when a Web PubSub message is published.

According to the example in this article, I should be able to use the following to trigger a function when a new message is sent to a specific hub...

{
  "disabled": false,
  "bindings": [
    {
      "type": "webPubSubTrigger",
      "direction": "in",
      "name": "data",
      "hub": "ABC",
      "eventName": "message",
      "eventType": "user"
    }
  ],
  "scriptFile": "../dist/WebPubSubTrigger/index.js"
}

However, I keep getting this error whenever I initialise the function app...

The 'WebPubSubTrigger' function is in error: The binding type(s) 'webPubSubTrigger' were not found in the configured extension bundle. Please ensure the type is correct and the correct version of extension bundle is configured.

Here's my extensionBundle config in host.json...

"extensionBundle": {
    "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle",
    "version": "[3.3.0, 4.0.0)"
  }

But this article does not have it listed as a supported binding type so I'm a little puzzled to say the least!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I'm running my Functions in a NodeJS environment but that shouldn't make a difference I don think.

I have also already tried installing manually, as per below, but tells me it's already installed ‍♂️

Me | Tue 28 @ 15:49 ~/Development $ func extensions install --package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.WebPubSub --version 1.0.0
No action performed. Extension bundle is configured in /Users/me/Development/host.json`

According to the extension bundles versions available, setting the version to [3.3.0, 4.0.0) should do the trick looks like. Do note that this will update other extensions as well. So, it would be best to test that other functions are not breaking do to this change

Another option would be to just install this extension explicitly with this command as mentioned in the Web PubSub docs.

func extensions install --package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.WebPubSub --version 1.0.0
