Must have ability to run without an Azure Storage account about azure-functions-kafka-extension HOT 8 CLOSED

I believe the error you see is a tooling one. Meaning the local runtime is validating a storage account exists even though technically it may not be needed. So we'll need to track an issue on azure/azure-functions-core-tools to remove this validation (ideally only when it's not really needed, but not sure how we could do that).

CLI fix just got merged in. Not released yet, but having no AzureWebJobsStorage setting should run without issue now if using the Kafka extension.

we're using "issues" to capture requirements. so all good. thanks @jeffhollan. I might go add labels to help distinguish between features, requirements, bugs, issues etc.

It seems we won't need storage for Kafka triggers since checkpoint are saved in a topic. However, when running a function without storage I get:

Missing value for AzureWebJobsStorage in local.settings.json. This is required for all triggers other than HTTP. You can run 'func azure functionapp fetch-app-settings <functionAppName>' or specify a connection string in local.settings.json.

I don't know if there is a way I can define in trigger that it is ok to not have a storage account associated to my Function.

That sounds like something that needs to be fixed in webjobs somewhere.

@jeffhollan & @anirudhgarg do we know where this is throwing, and what functions is trying to do with this value?

from azure-functions-kafka-extension.

This is what I found:

So, is the requirement to be able to run having "AzureWebJobsStorage": "None"?

from azure-functions-kafka-extension.

"Not defined" says to me omitted, as in not even in the file.
I'd also like "" to work

But I'd be content with setting to "None" if this is going to be too hard to change the underlying Functions/WebJobs behaviour.

@jeffhollan ?
