Functions won't deploy: "Function is not valid for deployment."

I have a project which is working just fine locally when using netlify dev but when I try to deploy, the functions aren’t working. The Netlify UI shows 0 functions in the functions tab, so it appears they are not being built and deployed at all? The deploy log is telling me: “Function is not valid for deployment. Please check that it matches the format for the runtime.” What am I missing?

One of my functions is really simple: it takes a URL and returns the HTML for that page. That’s it. Here’s essentially the entirety of it:

Just found this little nugget in the functions docs:

Your site must have a build command. If your site doesn’t require a build step, you can set the build command to # .

Once I changed my build command to # I was on my way to getting the proper feedback to get my functions working (had to properly setup zip-it-and-ship-it to build my functions as well—I thought netlify did this for me when specifying a functions directory (which it does for netlify-dev, but apparently it does not for your builds).
