I created a function and I am trying to deploy it from VS Code by clicking the Deploy to Function App.... The Deployment runs successfully based on the output log - Deployment successful but then when I go to the portal, the function is not listed under Functions.
What shall I do and what is the problem here?
When I debug in VS Code, I get this: No job functions found. Try making your job classes and methods public. If you're using binding extensions (e.g. Azure Storage, ServiceBus, Timers, etc.) make sure you've called the registration method for the extension(s) in your startup code (e.g. builder.AddAzureStorage(), builder.AddServiceBus(), builder.AddTimers(), etc.).
Unfortunatly I would not know if those steps don't work for uploading. The deployment finishes, and every single time it becomes visible in my portal. Uh, maybe there is a slight difference. The app service itself is pre-created via terraform. Just the uploading of the code I do via VSC.
As far as deletion goes:
Open the resource group, in the list lookup the App Service. Select the checkbox in front of it. Delete in the top nav bar of that pane.
Trying to delete it any other way will indeed give you the "Not found" error.
I've had the same 'issue', in my case it turns out that the issue was a bad entry in the requirements.txt
I had an incorrect line with 'io' and when it was present despite the deployment appearing to complete successfully in VS code, the function was not updated if it was previously deployed or not deployed if it wasn't resulting in the same 'no results' in the functions list.
Having other requirements such as 'numpy' or 'scipy' worked just fine.
It's an old thread but maybe it'll be helpful to whoever gets here in the future.
Even as of now, some changes I make in VS Code seem to take time to be immediately visible on the portal. I had a similar issue with resources, i.e. creating a resource from VS Code wouldn't make it immediately visible on Azure Portal. You can always go to Functions on the portal and click Refresh. Also try going to Advanced Tools, then Kudu and checking if your function can be found there.
One word of advice: if you publish your functions from VS Code, then work on that resource only from VS Code. You will find it reiterated all over Azure Functions docs that:
Publishing to an existing function app overwrites the content of that
app in Azure.

Hey I have deployed new azure function using Azure dev ops CI/CD. The function app has been deployed successfully and when I go to the main URL, it says your function app is running. I tried to test the end points("/save") using azure portal and the output is 404 Not found. The same results when I use POST man as well. Any help would be appreciated?
2020-11-21T11:30:45.769 [Error] The following 2 functions are in error:
Get: The function type name 'DocumentContextFunction.Functions.GetDocument'
is invalid.
Save: The function type name
'DocumentContextFunction.Functions.SaveDocument' is invalid.
I have fixed this by updating the value of the "FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION" from 1 to 3. For some reason every time I deployed using Azure CI/CD, its value is set to 1, so I have to manually change it to be 3.
I encountered this error when my build targeted win-x64 whereas the Azure Function Platform was configured as 32 bit.
In my case I had a function created in portal. I then published a function via visual studio. After publishing the portal created function was 404 not found and I could not even delete the function from the portal.
Exact same code in a new function worked as expected.
This is not intuitive and were no indications in the portal that previous portal created functions would break.
This maybe buried somewhere in documentation but I would have expected a warning in azure before allowing other functions to break without code changes.
The author's question helped me understand where the problem was coming from. In my case, it was not about the CI/CD pipeline doing anything funny.
It was my IaC code which was not setting up the function app properly. It picks version ~1 by default but I had to set it to ~3.
My function apps were working until I included a new custom package with a later version of Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. My functions were using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging 2.1.1. The package had version 7.0.0, which is for Net7. It was incompatible with my Net6 projects.
When the package was added, the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging version in my project was updated to 7.0.0. The were no compile errors, but debugging showed that the assembly could not be loaded. This was causing the 404.
Changing the package version back to 2.1.1 corrected the problem.
This is what worked for me...
Note: I was getting 404 on my function which is a nodejs and inline editing on the browser.
Open your function.json and take a backup as we are going to change it.
See if in your function.json there are two different settings with "direction": "in"
For me there were two. I tried deleting but it keep coming back.
Next I went to 'Integrations' (on left menu) and opened my trigger and deleted it. This will recycle your trigger. And hope this works for you too.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the portal/VS 2017 publish process?
For a long time my azure functions were running fine and then I made a trivial change to a function and republished. The whole application went 'Read Only' in the portal.
The only solution I currently have is to go into the 'App Service Editor' in the portal and remove the 'generated by' entry...
"generatedBy": "Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions-1.0.0.0"
After doing this the function app appears to be stable.
Is there something I'm doing wrong with my publish or is this just a bug in the Azure function environment? It appears to be a new issue.
Answered : No real problem.
Thanks David Ebbo, I think the issue I had was with something else in the function. I thought it was because it was 'Read Only' but looking at it now it appears to be running Ok as a 'Read Only'.
This is by design. When you publish using Visual Studio, your app becomes read-only to make sure that you don't attempt to modify it via Portal editing. Instead, if you need to update your app, simply publish again via VS.
While you can override this in the settings and make it Read/Write, it is almost certainly the wrong thing to do. 99% of users should never do this!
What's not clear from your question is why you are viewing this as a problem in the first place. The fact that the portal prevents you from editing your function does not break anything. All your functions can still run and will be triggered as expected.
I have deployed a javascript function app using VSTS Continuous Deployment and the function works but you can't see any of the code in the portal and the management screen looks seriously screwed up. By Function state it only has a grayed out garbage can instead of the grayed out enable/disalbe and the function key section is completely missing. The host keys section is empty even though I have host keys. This is frustrating because I can't set any function keys.
Similar to this one.
This probably means that your ARM template is incorrectly setting FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION. Please make sure to set it to ~1. See this page for more info.
If your host keys fail to appear after you have deleted and redeployed your function app (I had this issue after upgrade from ~2 to ~3) then ensure all file shares and blob-containers (in used storage account) with the function app name are also deleted before trying redeploy. specifically the following containers:
azure-webjobs-hosts
azure-webjobs-secrets
Only by clearing these was I able to get a clean re-deploy - and host/app keys back again!
I'm new to Azure Functions and been thrown into a project without a proper introduction and anybody I could ask is out of office. My simple most likely stupid question is; where can I find the actual code?
In the azure portal, the functions are listed as "read-only" and only contains a function.json. The resource is an App Service and it has a couple of functions. There is no link to any git repository in properties.
Read-only Functions would be compiled and published (e.g. through Visual Studio or a CI/CD pipeline.) The Azure Functions Portal engineers are working on a new, improved experience for this but for now, if your Function app has a deployment source configured, you can view it from the Portal in two ways from your Function app:
Platform Features > Deployment Options.
Platform Features > Resource Explorer. In the file tree on the lefthand side, find your Function app's name, and under that, sourcecontrols. Click to expand in the righthand window.
If your Function app doesn't have a deployment source configured (e.g. your team has been publishing code manually) then things get harder. Depending on how your company has set up their source control and what you already have access to, the function.json you see might help: the entryPoint property in a build-generated function.json will give you the full assembly name of that function (e.g. VSSample.HelloSequence.Run). That or the assembly name of the uploaded DLL in the scriptfile property might help you locate the project.
Good luck! Keep posting if you have further questions; we're here to help.
AFAIK, if we create the azure function in the Visual Studio and publish it to Azure(there may be other ways), it will appear in the situation you described like the screenshot.
Actually, the code is existing in the portal, but the code has been compiled, you could access it in the Platform features -> Advanced tools (Kudu) -> Debug console.
If you want to get the .cs file, I think you should ask it for your coworkers, there will not be in azure.
You said that the Azure function is listed as "read-only". Did you check from the Application Settings menu if you can change the Azure function app edit mode to Read/Write?
I created a cloud service and tested it successfully locally. I added service configurations for stage and production. Here is a snippet of my staging-configuration:
and here my configuration-settings:
Then when I publish I set up the deployment as follows:
All this worked like 2 weeks ago. But now he deploys in VS and when I look into Azure Service Configure area it looks like this:
I played a little bit with the "Update development ..."-checkbox on the second screen but the result is the same.
So it ignores all the settings I made and just won't tranistion my configuration to the ine I named "CloudStage". My current Web PI tells me that I use Windows Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2013) 2.3. I don't get the point.
Edit
Some more things I observed:
No WADLogsTable and WADWindowsEventLogsTable is generated automatically in the staging storage.
I deactivated Remote Desktop because it was one of the changes I made to monitor the event log (which wasn't useful here)
I manually changed the connection strings in Azure Portal but it seems as if the worker is totally unaware of the storage (rebooted it with no success).
Edit
I recognized another thing. Here you can see a running deployment of my service:
See the warning-mark on the left? If I go to my Error list this is shown:
This warning is senseless since it tells me that I did everything the right way. My *.Local.csfg-files are pointing to the local storage. So?!?
This seems weird. Please check the in your ServiceConfiguration.CloudStage.cscfg to verify the expected values.
Have you tried updating any other property like Enabling Remote desktop? Does that get updated on your deployment? You should select the "Deployment Update" check box in the publish dialog. Now, when deploying to an existing Cloud Service, it should ask you if you want to replace it.
If you get the Object reference error every time you right click on project, there might be some issue with the Azure SDK set up.
I'm a little bit further now. What I did was:
Deleted all Services in Azure.
Deleted all Storage Accounts in Azure
Removed my Service-Project completely from solution (not the library containing the worker-logic).
Re-added storage-accounts in Azure.
Re-added services in Azure.
Re-added a project in the solution and added the worker-logic inside it.
Builded up all the publishing-stuff again.
Published it.
The first publish ended like the one described in my question. After I checked the "Update development..."-option in properties of my worker it finally took my transitions into the stage!
Now I recognized, that WADLogsTable was still empty. I hit the instance right in server-explorer and choosse "Update diagnostic settings...". There was an option "Transfer period" suddenly set to "None". This explained to me, why my table was empty and after I set it back to "1" my table is filling again!
Another funny thing beside: When I right-click my Cloud-project in the solution I get "Object reference not set to an instance...". When I just click it left and choose Build->Publish it works.
I just hope that I can help somebody with this. Lets see if it's stable now.
Edit: Yesterday it worked - today is still the same issue :-(.
When you get "Object reference not set to an instance.." for a CloudService project you usually have some kind of mismatch. It could be that a setting in the ServiceConfiguration is not defined in the ServiceDefinition. It could also be that there is a publish profile defined in the .ccproj file for the CloudService that doesn't exist. This might also be what is causing your problems with the different configurations.
So it turns out that the problem is completely on client-side. My Visual Studio (now with SDK 2.4) is doing something wrong. I set up a fresh installation with all the stuff needed :-( and there it works perfect. I'll try to determine if one of my extensions is causing the strange "Object reference not set..."-bug.
Repair-Installation of VS does not solve the problem btw.
