Call azure function from another azure function in javascript - azure

I am new in Azure technology. I have created two functions Master (masterFunction) and Child (childFunction) in Javascript.
I want to invoke Child function from Master function.
I have tried with childFunction.Run(req, log); but its not working.
Please suggest me to fix above issue.
Thanks

This does not work, the azure function actually executes code to meet the trigger conditions. For example, if your childfunction is triggered by a blob, then the way your masterfunction calls it is to satisfy the trigger condition of the childfunction, that is, add operations to the target blob in your masterfunction. If your childfunction is http, then you need to send a request to the childfunction url in the code of the masterfunction.

Redeployment of Azure Function does not happen

I am experimenting with an Azure Function in PowerShell to answer a simple HTTP request.
I am editing directly in the Azure Portal.
I do not understand how deployment works. I assume it should directly redeploy after "save".
When I change my code and test it within Azure Portal I get debug results in the console/log and expected results in the HTTP-Output.
However: When I call the function from a browser, it returns different results. I think these are old results, so either the function is not redeployed or some cache / proxy is fooling my browser.
How can I see if redeployment took place after "save" in the AzurePortal?
How can I check debug / console output of a real invocation?
First, I run with the default Code from the Http Trigger Function (PowerShell Runtime) - i.e., created in the Azure Portal and edited the Function Code from the Portal itself > Saved > Clicked on Run again.
If we save the function, it will just save the changes in the code. We have to run again the Function for changes made in the Code Logic for new response.
You can see how many times your function in the Azure Function App is executed, in Monitor > Invocations with more information such as Response Code for every invocation (Function Run), Execution Time,
And I have updated the Function Code two times after 1st run of the default Code. Here in the Activity Logs, you can see number of times updated the run.ps1 function code updates registered:
Updated Answer:
I have run the Azure Function App PowerShell Http Trigger in the browser tab with its function URL for 4 times and the invocations are display after 4 minutes of time because my function app is hosted in Consumption plan:
Seems the function was "disabled" - after enabling it again all works as expected!

Can an Azure Function trigger itself?

I am trying to do the following with Azure Functions:
url='http://localhost:7071/api/testendpoint'
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response=requests.post(url,headers=headers)
i.e. "testendpoint" is another endpoint defined in the same function project. This is what I do: endpoint 1 gets a POST request and then the corresponding function code tries to trigger "testendpoint" with a another POST. If i try to do this locally, the function stops responding and runs into a timeout at some point.
Is it not possible to trigger another endpoint in the same function project? Do I have to split my project into multiple Azure Functions?
Thanks in advance!
It should be possibile.

Error "BadRequest" when calling Azure Function in ADF

I am creating an extensive data factory work flow that will create and fill a data warehouse for multiple customers automatic, however i'm running into an error. I am going to post the questions first, since the remaining info is a bit long. Keep in mind i'm new to data factory and JSON coding.
Questions & comments
How do i correctly pass the parameter through to an Execute Pipeline activity?
How do i add said parameter to an Azure Function activity?
The issue may lie with correctly passing the parameter through, or it may lie in picking it up - i can't seem to determine which one. If you spot an error with the current setup, dont hesitate to let me know - all help is appreciated
The Error
{
"errorCode": "BadRequest",
"message": "Operation on target FetchEntries failed: Call to provided Azure function
'' failed with status-'BadRequest' and message -
'{\"Message\":\"Please pass 'customerId' on the query string or in the request body\"}'.",
"failureType": "UserError",
"target": "ExecuteFullLoad"
}
The Setup:
The whole setup starts with a function call to get new customers from an online economic platform. It the writes them to a SQL table, from which they are processed and loaded into the final table, after which a new pipeline is executed. This process works perfectly. From there the following pipeline is executed:
As you can see it all works well until the ForEach loop tries to execute another pipeline, that contains an azure function that calls a .NET scripted function that fills said warehouse (complex i know). This azure function needs a customerid to retrieve tokens and load the data into the warehouse. I'm trying to pass those tokens from the InternalCustomerID lookup through the ForEach into the pipeline and into the function. The ForEach works actually, but fails "Because an inner activity failed".
The Execute Pipeline task contains the following settings, where i'm trying to pass the parameter through which comes from the foreach loop. This part of the process also works, since it executes twice (as it should in this test phase):
I dont know if it doesn't successfully pass the parameter through or it fails at adding it to the body of the azure function.
The child pipeline (FullLoad) contains the following parameters. I'm not sure if i should set a default value to be overwritten or how that actually works. The guides i've look at on the internet havent had a default value.
Finally there is the settings for the Azure function. I'm not sure what i need to write in order to correctly capture the parameter and/or what to fill in - if it's the header or the body regarding the error message. I know a post cannot be executed without a body.
If i run this specific funtion by hand (using the Function App part of portal.azure.com) it works fine, by using the following settings:
I viewed all of your detailed question and I think the key of the issue is the format of Azure Function Request Body.
I'm afraid this is incorrect. Please see my below steps based on your description:
Work Flow:
Inside ForEach Activity, only one Azure Function Activity:
The preview data of LookUp Activity:
Then the configuration of ForEach Activity: #activity('Lookup1').output.value
The configuration of Azure Function Activity: #json(concat('{"name":"',item().name,'"}'))
From the azure function, I only output the input data. Sample Output as below:
Tips: I saw your step is executing azure function in another pipeline and using Execute Pipeline Activity, (I don't know why you have to follow such steps), but I think it doesn't matter because you only need to focus on the Body format, if your acceptable format is JSON, you could use #json(....),if the acceptable format is String, you could use #cancat(....). Besides, you could check the sample from the ADF UI portal which uses pipeline().parameters

Getting ExecutionContext in other libraries/projects in Azure Function App

The execution context that is injected to a function (https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/wiki/Retrieving-information-about-the-currently-running-function), is it possible to get it in some other helper libraries.
I want to get the InvocationId of the current function in some other libraries. For e.g. let's say I have written a logger and I need to add the Invocation ID for every log. One trivial way to achieve this would be to pass the Invocation ID from the function to all the helpers, but it may not be possible especially if one is working with legacy code.
In App services we could solve this problem by getting access to the HttpContext via the IHttpContextAccessor.
Is there any alternative to this in Azure function?

Cloud Functions for Firebase error: "400, Change of function trigger type or event provider is not allowed"

When I run firebase deploy I get this error message:
functions: HTTP Error: 400, Change of function trigger type or event provider is not allowed
TL;DR
firebase functions:delete yourFunction // this can be done via the Firebase Console as well
firebase deploy
Explanation
Basically, Cloud Functions expects the same trigger for every function all the time, i.e. once it is created it has to stick to its original trigger because every function name is connected to a specific trigger. The trigger can therefore only be changed by deleting the function first and then creating it again with a different trigger.
This can now be done easily by using the functions:delete command:
firebase functions:delete yourFunction
The documentation features more advanced use cases as well.
Old solution
Solution of this is basically commenting or cutting out your function and then saving the Functions file and deploying. The function will get deleted in Firebase, but after that you can insert/uncomment your function and it will deploy just fine again. This error occurs when you take a function and change the type of trigger that it uses, i.e. HTTP, database or authentication.
Firstly cut it out
/* exports.yourFunction = someTrigger... */
And then, after deploying ("firebase deploy") replace your trigger
exports.yourFunction = anotherTrigger...
For those who stumble upon this in the future, the Cloud Functions console now offers a delete button.
You can also go to the Cloud Functions panel in the Google Cloud Platform console and delete your function from there. After that you can upload the function normally from firebase CLI. Not sure why they don't have a delete function option in the firebase console.
