I'm using .Net SDK for ACI (Azure Container Instances) to run an exec command
In the response, I only get back this object which doesn't tell me how to get the actual result of the command e.g. exit code and message.
My question is: how to retrieve the exec command results in .NET?
This is my .NET code:
string command = "ls";
var commandResponse = containerGroup.ExecuteCommand("container1", command, 100, 100);
You can get the LogContent of the container in order to find out what happened. If you are interested only in the newest item, then you can pass 1 as tailLineCount. ContainerExecResponse has a WebSocketUri property as well, which may explain why you do not directly get the info you need in the response object. WebSockets are duplex channels of communication, differing from the request-response protocol-type and in the case of WebSockets, you establish a connection which may run for a very long time, occasionally responding. So here expecting an HTTP-like behavior seems to be a misunderstanding, at least if I look at the docs.

Short and simple; how do I update a replicated nodejs application in a docker swarm?
Expected behavior: once update is triggered, the service receive some form of signal, eg: SIGINT or SIGTERM
What actually happens: nothing... no signals, no updated service. I have to remove the service and create it again with the updated image.
I'm using dockerode to update the service. The documentation for the docker API, of the subject in question, is broken (one can not expand the sub menus for example: UpdateConfig)... making it hard to know if I'm missing any additional specification.
If I run the command: docker service update <SERVICE> expected behavior takes place.
The ForceUpdate flag must be increased by one each time you update... for the update to take place when you do not version your image.
const
serviceOptions = { ... },
service = this.docker.getService(serviceName),
serviceInspected = await this.serviceInspector.inspectService(serviceName)
serviceOptions.registryAuthFrom = 'spec'
// if we do not specify the correct version, we can not update the service
serviceOptions.version = serviceInspected.Version.Index
// it's not documented by docker that we need to increase this force update flag by one, each time we attempt to update...
serviceOptions.TaskTemplate.ForceUpdate = serviceInspected.Spec.TaskTemplate.ForceUpdate + 1
const response = await service.update(serviceOptions)
response.output.Warnings && this.log.info(data.output.Warnings)
Still can't record a SIGTERM signal from the container, but at least now I can update my service
I am running an azure webjobs SDK console application (continuous) with the recommended setup:
public static void ProcessQueueMessage([QueueTrigger("logqueue")] string logMessage, TextWriter logger)
The azure queue I am running against has ~6000 messages in it and I am running the web-job locally, as a console application.
The problem I'm having is that the processing randomly stops after processing between zero and ~30 messages. The console stays open, but no more console messages are displayed.
For example, it might just process 2 messages:
Executing: 'Functions.ProcessQueueMessage' - Reason: 'New queue message detected on 'QueueName'.'
Executed: 'Functions.ProcessQueueMessage' (Succeeded)
Executing: 'Functions.ProcessQueueMessage' - Reason: 'New queue message detected on 'QueueName'.'
Executed: 'Functions.ProcessQueueMessage' (Succeeded)
And then, nothing. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my internet connection and I can't trace the issues down to any particular messages.
Has anyone else had issues with this SDK?
Update:
I made sure that I was using the right versions of all of the dependencies by removing the nuget packages and then re-running install-package Microsoft.Axure.Webjobs. I am now using webjobs version 1.1.0 which has pulled in version 4.3 of azure storage.
As recommended by Matthew, I have pulled down the source code for azure webjobs to determine where the process is freezing up. Once the freez-up occurs, I pause execution and checked the running threads for what I believe is the culprit within Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host.CompositeTraceWriter
protected virtual void InvokeTextWriter(TraceEvent traceEvent)
{
if (_innerTextWriter != null)
{
string message = traceEvent.Message;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(message) &&
message.EndsWith("\r\n", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
// remove any terminating return+line feed, since we're
// calling WriteLine below
message = message.Substring(0, message.Length - 2);
}
_innerTextWriter.WriteLine(message);
if (traceEvent.Exception != null)
{
_innerTextWriter.WriteLine(traceEvent.Exception.ToDetails());
}
}
}
The line it freezes on is line 66 : _innerTextWriter.WriteLine(message);
_innerTextWriter is an instance of System.IO.TextWriter.SyncTextWriter
Is it possible there is some deadlock issue with this class or the way it is being used?
Some notes:
I am running in the debugger, so in this case I believe the textwriter is forwarding to the console internally
I have my batchsize set to 1 via config.Queues.BatchSize = 1;, not sure if that could matter
I'm currently working on setting up an environment on another computer so that I can see if it is reproducible somewhere other than this machine (surface book).
Update
The issue was me not understanding how the new windows 10 command prompt works. Any time you click on the command window, it goes into "select" mode which completely pauses execution of the process.
Basically: https://superuser.com/questions/419717/windows-command-prompt-freezing-randomly?newreg=ece53f5584254346be68f85d1fd2f18d
You can tell it is in this state because it will prefix the window title with the word "Select":
You have to press enter or click again to get it going once again.
So, two final comments:
1) What an incredibly confusing and un-intuitive behavior for a command window!
2) I hope some admin will come take pity on the shame I have brought upon myself and my family by deleting this question.
To get rid of this strange behavior, you can disable QuickEdit mode:
Strange. When it is in this stuck state, can you try adding a new queue message to the queue and see if that triggers? Are you sure your function isn't hanging internally? What version of the SDK are you using? You might also try upgrading to v1.1.0 which we just released last week. If there are really a bunch of messages in the queue waiting to be processed, I can't think of anything that would cause this. The queue listener in the SDK should chug along, reading batches of messages in parallel and dispatching them to your function. Have you changed any of the JobHostConfiguration.Queues configuration knobs? You haven't force updated the version of the Azure SDK have you to something higher than the WebJobs SDK supports?
Another option if you can't figure this out might be to clone the SDK, build it and debug it locally. The repo is here. The main queue processing loop is here.
I can't get SqlDataProvider to work when executed in a fsx script which is running in an Azure Web Site.
I have started from the samples that Tomas Petrecek has here: https://github.com/tpetricek/Dojo-Suave-FsHome.
In short it is a FSX script that is executed using the IIS httpPlatformHandler so that all http requests to my Azure Web site is forwarded to my F# script.
The F# Script use Suave to handle the requests.
When I tried adding some database access to my HTTP handlers I got into problems.
The problematic code looks like this:
[<Literal>]
let connStr = "Server=(localdb)\\v11.0;Initial Catalog=My_Database;Integrated Security=true;"
[<Literal>]
let resolutionFolder = __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__
FSharp.Data.Sql.Common.QueryEvents.SqlQueryEvent |> Event.add (printfn "Executing SQL: %s")
// the following line fails when executing in azure
type db = SqlDataProvider<connStr, Common.DatabaseProviderTypes.MSSQLSERVER, ResolutionPath = resolutionFolder>
let saveData someDataToSave =
let ctx = db.GetDataContext(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SQLAZURECONNSTR_QUERIES"))
.....
/// code using the context here
This works just fine when I run it locally, but when I deploy it to the azure site it will fail at the line where the type dbis created.
The error message is (line 70 is the line that has the type db = ...:
D:\home\site\wwwroot\app.fsx(70,11): error FS3033: The type provider
'FSharp.Data.Sql.SqlTypeProvider' reported an error: A network-related
or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to
SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify
that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to
allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 52
- Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database
Runtime feature is enabled.)
The design-time database in the connStr is not available in the azure site, but I thought this is why we have the GetDataContext overload that takes a connection string to be used at run-time?
Is it because it is running as a script and not as compiled code that it is trying to access the database when creating the TypeProvider?
If yes, does it mean that my only option is to compile and provide the database code as a compiled assembly that I load and use in my Suave FSX script?
Reading the connection string from a config file does not work very well as this is in a azure site. I really need to get the connection string from an environment variable (which is set in the azure management interface).
Hmm, this is a bit unfortunate - as #Fyodor mentioned in the comments, the problem is that the script-based deployment to Azure actually compiles the script on the Azure machine - and so you need to have a statically-resolved connection string that works on Azure.
There are two options:
Use compiled project instead. If you compile your F# code locally and deploy the compiled code to Azure it will work. Sadly, there are no good samples for that.
Do some clever trick to make the connection string accessible to the script at compile time.
Send a PR to the SQL provider so that you can give it the name of an environment variable and it reads the connection string from there.
I think (3) would actually be quite nice and useful feature.
I'm not necessarily sure what the best way to do (2) would be. But I think you might be able to modify app.azure.fsx so that it creates a file (say connection.fsx) that contains something like:
module Connection
let [<Literal>] ConnString = "<Contents of SQLAZURECONNSTR_QUERIES>"
Then app.fsx could load this script and use Connection.ConnString in the argument of SQL type provider.
I'm trying to set up a robust memcached configuration for a nodejs app with the node-memcached driver, but it does not seem to use the specified failover servers when one server dies.
My local experiment goes as follows:
shell
memcached -p 11212
node
MC = require('memcached')
c = new MC('localhost:11211', //this process does not exist
{failOverServers: ['localhost:11212']})
c.get('foo', console.log) //this will eventually time out
c.get('foo', console.log) //repeat 5 or 6 times to exceed the retries number
//wait until all the connection errors appear in the console
//at this point, the failover server should be in use
c.get('foo', console.log) //this still times out :(
Any ideas of what might we be doing wrong?
It seems that the failover feature is somewhat buggy in node-memcached.
To enable failover you must set the remove options:
c = new MC('localhost:11211', //this process does not exist
{failOverServers: ['localhost:11212'],
remove : true})
Unfortunately, this is not going to work because of the following error:
[depricated] HashRing#replaceServer is removed.
[depricated] the API has no replacement
That is, when trying to replace a dead server with a replacement from the failover list, node-memcached outputs a deprecation error from the HashRing library (which, in turn, is maintained by the same author of node-memcached). IMHO, feel free to open a bug :-)
This is come when your nodejs server not getting any session id from memcached
Please check properly in php.ini file you are setting properly or not for memcached
session.save = 'memcache'
session.path = 'tcp://localhost:11212'
I am attempting to obtain a data feed from yahoo finance. I am doing this with the following code:
System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(http://download.finance.yahoo.com/download/quotes.csv?format=sl&ext=.csv&symbols=^ftse,^ftmc,^ftas,^ftt1x,^dJA);
request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
// set properties of the request
using (System.Net.WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
I have placed this code into a console application and, using Console.WriteLine on the output I receive the information I require. I have used the 'Run as..' command to execute this using a specific domain account.
When I use this code from within a Page load I receive the following error message "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 76.13.114.90:80".
This seems to suggest that the call is reaching yahoo (is this true?) and that there is something missing.
This would suggest there is an identity difference in the calls between the console application and application pool.
Environment is: Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, .net 4.0
"Target machine actively refused it" indicates that the TCP connection itself is not succeeding. This could be due to the fact that the Proxy settings when run under IIS are not the same as those that apply when you run in the console.
You can fix this by setting a WebProxy on your request, that points to the proxy server being used in the environment.
Yes, an active refusal is indication that the target machine is receiving the request and the information in the headers is either incorrect or insufficient to process the request. It is entirely possible that if you had to run this call using a "run as" command in console that the application pool's identity user does not have the appropriate permission or username. You can attempt to change the identity user to this specific domain account to see if that alleviates the problem, but you may have to isolate this particular function into its own application pool in order to protect the rest of the website from having this specification.
