When I start my azure function app, I get the following:

[2020-11-04T17:41:50.594] The listener for function 'Functions.DurableFunctionsActivity1' was unable to start.

The project still runs but if I were to try send a http request to my durable function http listener then I would get the following error in the console

Result: Failure
Exception: Error: The operation failed with an unexpected status code: 500. Details: {"Message":"Something went wrong while processing your request","ExceptionMessage":"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

Attached is my debug.log generated by azurite: debug.log

Steps to reproduce the issue?

1. Install azurite

2. Setup the azure durable functions

   • Microsoft Docs
   • Http Starter function example
   • Orchestrator function example

3. run the azure function project and you shall see the errors described above

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

No, I know it works with the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator but azurite is a requirement since it works with MAC OS

There might be no short term solution , and we need wait for table in Azurite V3. For legacy version (v2) , it supports table, so in theory it supports Azure function, but not validated before.

We already have item tracking Azurite V3 Table in #253, will close this.
