It's not just Azure. AWS lambda as well as google cloud functions, and therefore firebase cloud functions, have the same issue

Error: uuid: This browser does not seem to support crypto.getRandomValues(). If you need to support this browser, please provide a custom random number generator through options.rng.

@evdama @jvpelt @VandalPaulius @ZebraFlesh could you please share more details about your Azure Functions/AWS Lambda/Google Cloud Functions setup with steps to reproduce the error?

My suspicion is that you are bundling code in a way that is designed to run in a browser environment, not in Node.js

So are any bundlers like webpack or rollup involved in your process?

I created a minimalistic PoC that shows that under normal circumstances using uuid in Cloud Functions works just well: https://github.com/ctavan/uuid-cloud-functions-poc

yes, I use rollup to bundle uuid, then use it like this in my server.js within express middleware:

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'

const setNonceMiddleware = ( request, response, next ) => {
  try {
    response.locals.nonce = uuidv4()
    next()
  } catch ( error ) {
    console.error ( 'error from setNonceMiddleware: ', error )
  }
}

@ctavan Here's a minimal repo with what I'm doing. master branch is set to uuid@3.4.0; upgrade to uuid@7.0.0 to see failure. https://github.com/ZebraFlesh/uuid-serverless-poc

edit: I'm using webpack + serverless + serverless-offline

Thank you @ZebraFlesh. I think a fix is near: #380
