Azure Functions work Locally, but Timeout or Freeze when deployed on Azure

[ruyakubu]

Has anyone been able to successfully run deployed Java Azure Functions in Azure?

I find it odd that none of these published samples work Locally, but all fail and keep Timing out on the Azure portal:
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-java-maven
• https://github.com/Microsoft/function-demo-java-on-azure

What's missing?

[pragnagopa]

can you please share function app name and approximate time when you saw timeouts?

[brunoborges]

Look at Azure/azure-functions-java-library#16

[pragnagopa]

the sample is using old version of library which is not supported any more https://github.com/Microsoft/function-demo-java-on-azure/blob/master/walkthrough/pom.xml#L24
Will submit a PR to fix the sample.

Which version works?

I am using version 1.10.

1. Here's my repo:
   https://github.com/ruyakubu/helloJavaAzureFunction

2. Here's my maven archetype:
   mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeVersion=1.10 ^
   -DarchetypeGroupId=com.microsoft.azure ^
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=azure-functions-archetype

3. Here's the deployment azure link to show the Timeouts:
   https://hello-function-20180711170135136.azurewebsites.net/api/hello?name=HelloWorld

[pragnagopa]

You are using old sdk which is not supported any more

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
            <artifactId>azure-functions-java-core</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0-beta-3</version>
</dependency>

Latest maven archetype should work. You do not have to specify a version.

[ruyakubu]

what about the archetypeVersion=1.10? Is that incorrect too?

[pragnagopa]

Yes. Just use the latest using command

mvn archetype:generate ^
    -DarchetypeGroupId=com.microsoft.azure ^
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=azure-functions-archetype

We already established 1 month ago when I spoke to you that the archetype you just provide DID NOT WORK. It was causing the local functions to fail/freeze. That's when you and Bruno advised me to use version 1.10, which got the function to work locally.

Next, if you look in my Hello repo link I sent you, I clearly using version 1.0.0-beta-3 for the azure-function-java-core in my POM.xml:
https://github.com/ruyakubu/helloJavaAzureFunction/blob/master/pom.xml

So, we are going in circles because all of these dependency versions should be handled in the archetype.

[pragnagopa]

We made several fixes after that. We were in the middle of making breaking changes then. So we asked you to use version of archetype.

Using the maven archetype without specifying the version gives my the following error when I try to deploy to Azure:

@ruyakubu - Your sample is still using old sdk. Please see here for the updated sample https://github.com/pragnagopa/function-demo-java-on-azure

@jdneo - Any ideas on deploy error?
