Chrome Extension: MessageSender parameter is empty - google-chrome-extension

We publish an extension on the Chrome store (unlisted).
The extension uses Native Messaging and connects to the host.
A few days ago the callback function which is a parameter of chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function callback) stopped returning the MessageSender parameter from the native code. The MessageSender parameter returns empty.
This causes a loss of communication between the extension and the host (native code).
The extension stopped working and we started to get error messaged that the port is disconnected.
Does any one know the root cause ?
Was there a change in the implementation of this mechanism ?
Many thanks !

Azure Function Timer Trigger & API management - Manual execution returns 404

I have a function app with:
a few functions triggered by a Timer Trigger
and some triggered by the HTTP Trigger.
I have also an Azure API Management service set up for the function app, where the HTTP Triggered functions have their endpoints defined.
I am trying to trigger one of my timer triggered functions manually as per the guide here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-manually-run-non-http
I am however getting a 404 result in Postman, despite the seemingly correct URL and x-functions-key.
The function:
The key:
The request:
I also noticed that:
if I don't include the x-functions-key header, then I get 401 Unauthorized result
and if I include an incorrect key, then I get 403 Forbidden.
Could it be related to the API management service being set up for the function app?
How can I troubleshoot this further?
I have managed to solve it.
It turns out that Azure Functions timer trigger requires six parts cron expression (I was only aware of the five part style)
Without that, it does not work - sadly this is not easily noticeable in the UI.
I have realized that by investigating Application Insights logs:
The function page shows that everything is fine:
Changing the CRON format has fixed the 404 issue and I started getting 202 Accepted response.
As a bonus note, I have to add:
Even though the response was 202 Accepted, the triggering didn't work correctly, because my function return type was Task<IActionResult> which is not accepted for timer triggered functions.
Again, only ApplicationInsights showed that anything is wrong:
The 'MonkeyUserRandom' function is in error: Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Error indexing method 'MonkeyUserRandom'. Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Cannot bind parameter '$return' to type IActionResult&. Make sure the parameter Type is supported by the binding. 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.).
That's a bonus tip for a 'manual triggering of non-http function does not work'.
I test it in my side, it works fine. Please refer to the below screenshot:
Please check if you request https://xxx.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/TimerTrigger1 but not https://xxx.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/TimerTrigger. Note it's "TimerTrigger1".
I requst with ..../TimerTrigger at first test because the document shows us QueueTrigger, and it response 404.

Force client to wait for response from azure function

I wrote an azure function with python that do some data processing, when I test on large dataset (150 lines), chrome raise a 502 http error : (tested the azure function on 10 lines and everything was ok)
I think the problem is that chrome browser wait for so long and when no response coming from azure function it automatically raises 502 error. I checked that the logic function is executed till the end but I don't get my json response when code is completed. Here is my http response I should get
return func.HttpResponse(json.dumps({"file" : file.name.split('/')[2]}),
mimetype="application/json",)
expected output :
{"file": "filename.json"}
In production I have to process more then 1500 lines, and within 150 lines the azure function take about 2 minutes to complete.
How to force chrome client or any client who hit the url of my azure function to wait to complete? is there any workaround pls?
For this problem, we are not client so we can't determine timeout value of client.
For your problem of force chrome client to wait the function complete, I'm afraid we can't do this setting. You can refer to this post (also shown as below screenshot).
According to the screenshot above, we can see chrome can't change the timeout setting and we can change it in other browsers.
If the client do not use browser but use code(such as .net) to request the function, the code should be like:
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);

Chrome run fails in Azure Functions: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I wrote a web bot that uses Selenium framework to crawl. Installed ChromeDriver 72.0.3626.69 and also downloaded Chromium 72.0.3626.121. The app initializes ChromeDriver with this included Chromium binary (and NOT a locally installed Chrome binary). All this perfectly works on my machine locally.
I've been attempting now to port the app to Azure Functions. I wrote a function, tested it, and it works fine locally. But once I publish it to Azure Functions it fails due to about 182 errors of type:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its
access permissions
I know this happens due to exceeding the TCP connection limits of Azure sandbox, but the only attempt here was to create an instance of ChromeDriver (not even navigate anywhere yet!)
Here is a screenshot of Azure Function call log.
That error appears about 182 times in a row, and that's basically just an attempt to create a browser instance (or ChromeDriver instance, to be precise - can't be sure if that's Chromium or ChromeDriver causing the issue).
The question: Have anyone experienced issues with ChromeDriver/Chromium creating so many (obviously excessive) connections when launching? And what might help to avoid this.
If that's of any help, this is basically a piece of code that crashes on the last line:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.BinaryLocation = this.chromePath;
options.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
options.AddArgument("disable-infobars");
options.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
if (this.headlessMode)
{
options.AddArgument("headless");
}
options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.default_content_setting_values.images", 2);
Log.LogInformation("Chrome options compiled. Creating ChromeDriverService...");
var driverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(this.driverPath);
driver = new ChromeDriver(driverService, options, timeout);
I believe you are running this function in a Windows Function App which is subject to quite a few limitations as described in this wiki.
But when running on Linux, functions are basically run in a docker container, removing most of these restrictions that windows has. I believe what you are trying should be possible there.
You could either just deploy your function to a Linux Function App or even build a container and use that directly as well.

First call to Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus.Core.MessageSender.SendAsync times out, subsequent calls don't

I have some code written to communicate with an azure service bus. It sends messages to a queue. It's in a project targeting .net standard 2.0
When I run it from a .net core terminal app it runs fine. But, when the same code is called from a .net framework 4.7.2 project then the first attempt to send a message results in the following exception after 30 to 90 seconds:
"The remote party closed the WebSocket connection without completing the close handshake."
But any further messages will be sent without problem.
// This is using Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus, if that makes any difference...
MessageSender MessageSender = new MessageSender(ConnectionString, SendQueueName;
try
{
await MessageSender.SendAsync(new Message(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Test that won't work")));
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// Error will be caught here:
// "The remote party closed the WebSocket connection without completing the close handshake."
}
await MessageSender.SendAsync(new Message(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Test that will work")));
Does anybody know why the first call fails? And how to make it not fail? Or fail quicker? I've tried changing the OperationTimeout and RetryPolicy but they don'e seem to have any effect.
These first connections are via port 5671/56712, which Trend antivirus intercepts. Once these have timed out then the framework falls back to using 443, which works fine.
We tried turning Trend off and running testing the connection and its pretty much instantaneous.

BadRequestObjectResult does not return detailed error message to the client

I have a Azure function with an HTTP trigger. It produces a 400 response when an input value is not specified:
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(artistName))
{
return new BadRequestObjectResult("Artist name not specified.");
}
When the function is running locally (func host start) and the API is called incorrectly (I am using curl -X POST ...), the above error message is shown.
When deployed to Azure and called in a similar way - instead of the detailed error message - only Bad Request is returned.
Why?
How can I change this behaviour?
It's a known issue for function runtime 2.0.11888 that HttpTrigger does not return response content properly.
If you want to solve this, go to Application settings, pin your FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION to previous runtime 2.0.11857-alpha until new version is released.
See Azure Functions Runtime 2.0.11888 Preview.
Update
This issue has already been fixed from 2.0.11933.
