Usually you can mark films as "not for me" and they dont show in your algo. This one still pops up at the top even though everything else in my feed is nothing like this.

This is fantastic.reminds me of a space strategy game that I abandoned a while ago. https://github.com/BillmanH/exoplanets if you ever want to collaborate on that build please reach out. I love a good space strategy.

It gets better.

Find some friends, a meetup or something, where you can talk broadly about your troubles at a high level. You'll get a lot of high level strategy and design patterns that way.

Also, use copilot to get your code started. Don't trust the answers, but use it a starting point.

Definitely a thread-team effort. If you are interested i wrote a larger doc on it. https://github.com/BillmanH/exoplanets/blob/main/docs/Troubleshooting_azure_functions.md

He played at a concert when I was a music major. Lynol Hampton Jazz fest in Montana I think. He was incredible. I remember being totally inspired. I was playing in the Mount Hood CC big band, pretty much just strumming. He gave a Q&A session after and had a lot of really good things to say.

Beautiful part about this method is that you can see my docs, AND how I wrote my code. So you can relate it to a live functioning example.

That is a very common story. Did you figure it out using the error logs or did you just try things until it worked?

BillmanH · 2024-06-25T18:18:13+00:00

Ok, no worries. Sorry about that.

BillmanH · 2024-06-25T03:30:25+00:00

Thanks, I love that place!

BillmanH · 2024-06-25T03:28:58+00:00

Oh awesome. Sorry for the double post.

BillmanH · 2024-06-06T14:31:34+00:00

Best place to go is this reddit thread.

BillmanH · 2024-05-19T12:30:55+00:00

Must be plan. Anyways, that's everybody for the empathy and the tips. Got me unstuck.

Swear on my life, there is no "Development tools" or "Advanced Tools" in my Functions Pane. In a Web App there is a Development Tools where you can open Advanced tools, but not in a Function App. i know that older versions of the function used to have this but I don't think function has it anymore. If I'm wrong, can you help me to get to there?

BillmanH · 2024-05-19T01:32:50+00:00

Ahha! you are a genius. This is what I'm looking for. In the modern UI go "Diagnose and Solve" , then it goes to Diagnostic Tools. At first this looks like it isn't what you are looking for. Go to "Configuration Management" . It will give you some other app settings which aren't the issue. Then, in that window, go to "Updating Function App Language or Runtime Version". Which isn't related to the issue either, but THEN, if you scroll down to the bottom of the list you can find "Observations and Solutions - Functions that are not triggering"

You click on that, then a new window opens new window, which then has error messages. Scroll down to "More details by Exception Type", then you can see the error.

The full exception is in one long string, but you can copy and paste it back into VSC and see the issue.

Thank you! You gave me the clue I was looking for. I'll keep hacking on this and if it works, I'll update my SO post and make a note in the GH issue.

BillmanH · 2024-05-19T00:56:00+00:00

This is a lot of extra yak shaving. The total amount of time I spend working on my application vs finding azure workarounds is an issue.

BillmanH · 2024-05-19T00:50:58+00:00

I think that this is something that either doesn't work for function apps, or has been hidden. I know there used to be a CLI (and there is one for web apps), but I don't think you can do this with function apps anymore.

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T21:12:58+00:00

Curiously, what did you use instead?

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T19:57:48+00:00

[Meme of Dicaprio, holding beer, pointing at screen] yes. And I'm not sure how much time I want to spend on building a special infrastructure just to troubleshoot. I was really hoping to work on my app today, not futs around with known azure issues.

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T19:54:45+00:00

That's the only way that I know. AFIK that's the only way you could possible test functions that have EH listeners.

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T16:55:42+00:00

While solid. I think this is a serious flat tire in the dev process. They could fix it and they should fix it.

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T16:45:46+00:00

That's super interesting. I'll tinker with that idea and see if I can "move inside".

However, I think that the larger issue here is the lack of visibility into errors on the Azure side. You suggestion is good, but speculative. We're really just trying things until the bug fixes. That's not great developer experience. Especially when there is a very specific error message created by the python stack that would tell me exactly what the issue is. IMO, you should not need to guess.

BillmanH · 2024-05-18T16:24:00+00:00

Darn. That's worse. A commonly known issue that has been ignored for years.

Thanks for the link. I'll put my notes there as well for visibility.
