Are function-backed actions in ontology as code in the @osdk/maker enabled?

Hello!

I have been working on a repo in OaC and managed to successfully build and install an OaC product via Marketplace. My next step was adding a function-backed action.

The @osdk/maker documentation is sparse on this, but the stable version of defineAction does accept a functionRule with a functionRid, which I tried to use. I created the function as a separate repo in Python, published it and used its RID and version, and wired it up in the OaC repo:

...
rules: [
  {
    type: "functionRule",
    functionRule: {
      functionRid: rid_x,
      functionVersion:  function_version_x,
      functionInputValues: { ... },
    },
  },
],

The product tags and publishes to Marketplace successfully, but installation fails with:

Can't install ontology block OntologyMetadata:MarketplaceEntityMissingBlockShapeId
[expectedBlockShapeType=SEMANTIC_FUNCTION_LOCATOR, ...]

From what I can tell, Marketplace expects function references to be expressed as a SEMANTIC_FUNCTION_LOCATOR rather than a raw RID. DevOps usually handles this translation when you add a function and action type together as product outputs, but with OaC this isn’t possible since the ontology is code-managed and DevOps won’t let you modify it.

My questions:

  • Is functionRule in defineAction actually supported for Marketplace distribution, or is this still experimental/unsupported?
  • Has anyone found a working pattern for co-packaging a function-backed action with an OaC-managed ontology?

Thanks
