Just created Azure Mobile App service calls return http 400 error - azure

Here's what I'm doing.
Install latest Azure SDK (by the date)
Open Visual Studio 2013
Create a new Azure Mobile App project. The simple service is created with TodoItem DataObject and 2 simple controllers - TodoItemController and ValuesController
Do not change anything
Start the project
The service is started and hosted in local IISExpress on url http://localhost:50993/ (the port may vary).
The "This mobile app is up and running" web page is opened in the browser. But http 400 error is returned when I try to invoke some GET-actions: for example http://localhost:50993/api/values or http://localhost:50993/tables/TodoItem.
Any ideas? Is something wrong in my environment or is that me doing something wrong?
Thanks.

I guess you can opt out of version checking by setting a value of true for the app setting MS_SkipVersionCheck. Specify this either in your web.config or in the Application Settings section of the Azure Portal.

This generally happens when you don't add a ZUMO-API-VERSION header to the request. This is required when making requests from a REST client, but the mobile client SDKs add the header automatically.
To fix, add the header ZUMO-API-VERSION with value of 2.0.0.
To learn more, see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-client-and-server-versioning/.

Adding
http://localhost:50993/tables/Location?ZUMO-API-VERSION=2.0.0
at the end will do the trick.

Office-js addin with webapi on Azure. Fetch error

Windows 10 20H2, VS 2019 Community
Application contains one office-js addin (typescript) + one Webapi core (c#) in a container, both components communicating with a fetch function thanks to cors.
It works properly on my local computer.
I published both components on azure, the webapi component being derived as a container instance. I checked that the correct azure addin address was entered in the webapi startup module.
Now, each individual component works properly (proof with messages from the addin and with postman for the webapi) but fetch function raises errors (message = "failed to fetch).
Could someone tell me what I did miss ?
Thanks in advance.
Closed. Finally it was about :
debugging in localhost is not enough. You have to test with Swagger. In my case I had a wrong return with a String[] and the decoration of the controller was not ok
having a plain Web api application (ie : with a wwwroot)

Blazor WASM Azure Static Web App, Functions not working

I created a simple Blazor WASM webapp using C# .NET5. It connects to some Functions which in turn get some data from a SQL Server database.
I followed the tutorial of BlazorTrain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QctDo9MWps
Locally using Azurite to emulate the Azure stuff it all works fine.
But after deployment using GitHub Action the webapp starts but then it needs to get some data using the Functions and that fails. Running the Function in Postman results in a 503: Function host is not running.
I'm not sure what I need to configure more. I can't find the logging from Functions. I use the injected ILog, but can find the log messages in Azure Portal.
In Azure portal I see my 3 GET functions, but no option to test or see the logging.
With the help of #Aravid I found my problem.
Because I locally needed to tell my client the URL of the API I added a configuration in Client\wwwroot\appsettings.Development.json.
Of course this file doesn't get deployed.
After changing my code in Program.cs to:
var apiAddress = builder.Configuration["ApiAddress"] ?? $"{builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress}/api/";
builder.Services.AddHttpClient("Api",(options) => {
options.BaseAddress = new Uri(apiAddress);
});
My client works again.
I also added my SqlServer connection string in the Application Settings of my Static Web App and the functions are working as well.
I hope somebody else will benefit from this. Took me several hours to figure it out ;)

Azure Web App - Cannot GET (particular path)

I have been trying out the AADv2 sample from BotAuth to no avail.
The error that I keep getting after I select the button on the action card is that either a HTTP 500 internal server error, or Cannot GET /botauth/aadv2. When I check if the root web page or the messaging endpoint is working or not, I get the same error - either Cannot GET / or Cannot GET \api\messages. The root page I have been trying to get to is https://(botname).azurewebsites.net
May I know what steps I can take to resolve this issue? I have tried to Google the error, but to no avail. Please let me know if you need more information!
Since you are test the sample directly on Azure Web Apps, there should be a few of questions we should pay attention on.
1, const MICROSOFT_APP_ID = envx("MICROSOFT_APP_ID");
const MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD = envx("MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD");
we declare the environment valiable as MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword. Please modify this sentence as
//bot application identity
const MICROSOFT_APP_ID = envx("MicrosoftAppId");
const MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD = envx("MicrosoftAppPassword");
2, And you also need to check the environment variables are set correctly in Application settings of Azure Web App, which is shown at https://github.com/MicrosoftDX/botauth/tree/master/Node/examples/aadv2#3-setup-environment-variables
3, You can leverage online code editor to develop, debug, and manage your project on Azure Web Apps.
And in the output column, you can see the detailed errors throwm by the application. You can leverage these info to narrow down your issue.
Tips, after you changing the application settings, it's better to restart your Azure Web App.

Azure does not see Index.cshtml

I'm trying to publish my ASP.NET Core application on Azure service. This works, but when I try to use the application functionality, I get the message
Your App Service app is up and running.
Moreover, in my wwwroot folder I don't have any .html files. I only have an Index.cshtml file, which is located in the Views/Home-folder in my application, all another files are .css, .js, etc.
When I run the application in Visual Studio in Debug mode, immediately opens the page in browser that was generated from Index.cshtml. But after the application is published in Azure, this does not happen.
What can I do to make Azure see Index.cshtml?
AFAIK, a default route would be added to Configure method of your Startup.cs file as follows:
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
I also created my .Net Core 2.0 MVC application to check this issue, it could work as expected on local side and my azure web app.
Moreover, in my wwwroot folder I don't have any .html files.
Views under Web Application and Web Apllication MVC would be compiled into {your-webapplication-assemblyname}.PrecompiledViews.dll, you could leverage ILSpy to check your DLLs.
For your issue, I would recommend you clear the web content in your web app via KUDU, or modify the publish settings and choose Remove additional files at destination under File Publish Options, then redeploy your application to Azure Web App to narrow this issue.
Are you finding index.cshtml in your web package? In case if you get index.cshtml in your final web package, you may need to add index.cshtml file type to the following in..
..YourAzureWebApp --> Application Settings --> Default Documents
I found out what the problem was. There are two types of applications, as presented below in the picture: Web Application and Web Apllication MVC. I worked with the second type of application. When I selected the first type and published the application, Azure immediately found the required index.html. I just had to choose Web Application.
But why does not it work with the second type of application (Web Apllication MVC)? I still do not know the answer to this question.
2 cents from my side as I just stuck for a while with this.
The problem was that yesterday I'd been playing around with deploying to Ubunut / Ngnix and today I decided to try Azure.
BUT I forgot to comment (disable) the following lines in my Startup:
//for nginx server
app.UseForwardedHeaders(new ForwardedHeadersOptions
{
ForwardedHeaders = ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedFor | ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedProto
});
and that costed me almost half of the day to find the issue.
I also put the routing in the following way
app.UseStatusCodePages();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseMvc(routes => {
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Pages}/{action=Index}");
});
Now looks like it works on Azure :)

Azure Functions NodeJs: Remove Http Response Header

I have an HTTP triggered, NodeJs Azure Function, and I'm looking to remove the "X-Powered-By" header from my response, but have found no way to do so.
I've tried adding both this and this azure site extensions, but neither has worked for me,
Setting the response header manually, i.e. res.headers = { ['x-powered-by']: null } is ineffective.
Based on the comments made on this github issue: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/issues/290 it would seem that using either extension should have removed the headers you wanted.
Modifying the response headers will likely won't work as they are probably added further down the pipeline by the function host and not overridable, see:
Access Azure Function runtime settings
Azure functions recently removed the x-aspnet-version header, further removal of other headers is tracked as part of the azure-webjobs-script-sdk here
You should leave a comment on the github issue and you can further discuss with the team working on this.
There is an extension called Remove Custom Headers that works for Web Apps but not for functions that have their own resource group. So, what you can do is:
1. Create a regular Web App
2. Create a function and make sure you use the same Hosting Plan as the Web App (do not use Consumption).
3. Once the function is created, install the extension named: "Remove Custom Headers"
4. Restart the function and the headers (Server and X-Powered-By) should disappear.
