Azure Queue Trigger Function - Local Integration - azure

Question

I am creating a simple queue triggered azure function using Visual Studio. I am connecting it with my storage account, but for some reason its not working. Any help is appreciated.
This is my code: (auto-generated by VS)
[FunctionName("QueueTest")]
public static void Run([QueueTrigger("my-queue", Connection = "")]string myQueueItem, TraceWriter log)
{
log.Info($"C# Queue trigger function processed: {myQueueItem}");
}
This is my local.settings.json
{
"IsEncrypted": false,
"Values":{
"AzureWebJobsStorage":"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=accountname;AccountKey=accountkey"
}
}

Answer 1

Queue trigger by default use a AzureWebJobsStorage account. All you need to do is just remove Connection parameter from the attribute:
[FunctionName("QueueTest")]
public static void Run([QueueTrigger("my-queue")]string myQueueItem, TraceWriter log)
{
log.Info($"C# Queue trigger function processed: {myQueueItem}");
}
Ideally if you are a Windows user, use Azure Storage Emulator to connect to local queues. Afterwards change the connection string in your local.settings.json file:
{
"IsEncrypted": false,
"Values": {
"AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"AzureWebJobsDashboard": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
}
}
If you are not a Windows user, you must connect to queues hosted on the Azure platform. To do this, find the storage account linked to your functions and copy the connection string from his settings (Storage Account -> Access Keys -> Connection string)

So I figured out the issue. All the configurations were fine. The issue was, Azure Function Version of my function app was 1 but for some reason, probably because of latest SDK/WebJobs, version 1 was not working correctly. So I had to create another function app with AzureFunctionVersion 2 and all worked fine.

You need to add the connection string of your queue storage account to the local.settings.json and then supply the name of the connection string as the Connection parameter of the QueueTrigger, e.g. in local.settings.json
"Values": {
"AzureWebJobsStorage": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=accountname;AccountKey=accountkey",
"MyStorage": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=accountname2;AccountKey=accountkey2;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net"
}
and in your code
[QueueTrigger("my-queue", Connection = "MyStorage")]string myQueueItem
