Logic App Standard - Working locally with VS Code and renaming Workflow files

[ventil8]

We are moving to Logic Apps Standard and as part of this want to move the Workflows themselves to code/repos.

We have terraform code to deploy the Logic App and then pipelines to deploy the Workflows into those Logic app. So one Logic App will have many workflows.

using VS code I can view this setup in azure then Create a new project from it. I am asked to name the stateless Logic app which then creates an empty workflow.json. I can than copy the code into this JSON file and hey presto I have 1 of my required workflows. I can right click and use designer mode.

However, and this is my issue. As soon as I rename this from workflow.json to the name i want, i no longer have the ability to use the designer? and if i cant rename it I cant add other workflows to this logic app.

This doesn't seem right to me...or am i doing something wrong?

The name of the workflow is indicated by the name of the folder containing the workflow.json. You don't need to rename the workflow file, and you should never do this.

Thanks Mark, makes sense. Will adjust my thinking on this.
