Azure Functions Beta runtime error "Status: 404 Not Found"

[Krande]

Hi,

I tried running the code examples located in the docs using the beta version of Azure Functions but I am getting a "Status: 404 Not found" error when trying to run it. I have tried restarting the function server and re-writing/stripping the code, but without luck. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

main.py

import azure.functions

def main(req: azure.functions.HttpRequest) -> str:
    user = req.params.get('user', 'User')
    return f'Hello, {user}!

function.json

{
  "scriptFile": "main.py",
  "disabled": false,
  "bindings": [
    {
      "authLevel": "anonymous",
      "type": "httpTrigger",
      "direction": "in",
      "name": "req"
    },
    {
      "type": "http",
      "direction": "out",
      "name": "$return"
    }
  ]
}

You should run $ python -m azure.worker.testutils --script-root=<dir with your functions> command, otherwise it's configured for serving the tests/http_functions folder. I'll go ahead and make --script-root required, so that it's less confusing.

Hi, thank you for the quick answer. This is the first time I am testing the Beta runtime, so I think I have missed something essential in my initial set-up compared to using the v1.0 runtime. After switching my function to a beta runtime, are you suggesting that I should use Kudu for setting my script-root? I tried but it could not find the "azure.worker module". And I notice the default python is still 2.7. Btw I am on a consumption plan and I tried testing the code using the Portal and through a httpWebRequest (where both results in the 404 error).

I think that at this point it's only possible to test the new Python worker locally on your machine. You can find instructions on how to do that on this wiki page.
