Failing to open a new Azurite table in Storage Explorer

I have Node.js 10.13.0 installed via nvm. I started Azurite 2.7.0 by running the following:

$ node --version
v10.13.0
$ mkdir empty
$ cd empty
$ npx azurite
...

Azurite started normally. I then used Storage Explorer 1.5.0 to create a new table named “Example”. The operation completed successfully, and I saw the “Example” table in the navigation tree. However, selecting the table to open it resulted in the following error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error><Code>EntityNotFound</Code><Message>The specified entity does not exist.</Message></Error>

I found the following in the console log (no other errors or anything that looked too relevent):

POST /devstoreaccount1/Tables 204 2.419 ms - -
GET /devstoreaccount1/Example?%24top=1000 404 0.866 ms - 135

This is a simple reproduction of a more general issue we’ve encountered creating and reading tables in Azurite. Working with tables no longer appears to be working from our .NET Core application.

@XiaoningLiu We need to push out a release.

I am unable to repro with the current version, and the tables behavior in the legacy-dev branch is the same as the service: When I use the query Syntax

http://localhost:10002/devstoreaccount1/demoe1391(PartitionKey='Foo',RowKey='Walter')

It returns 404 not found

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Error>
    <Code>EntityNotFound</Code>
    <Message>The specified entity does not exist.</Message>
</Error>

This is “almost” the same behavior that I get from the service, we can argue whether we need to update the Code to ResourceNotFound…: HTTP Status 404

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
    <code>ResourceNotFound</code>
    <message xml:lang="en-US">The specified resource does not exist.
RequestId:85ab86e5-e002-0000-5ec9-389910000000
Time:2019-07-12T15:52:36.2226820Z</message>
</error>

When I use a filter:

%24select=&%24filter=PartitionKey%20eq%20%27foo%27%20and%20RowKey%20eq%20%27SS-HEAD%27&%24top=1000

I get an empty list: HTTP Status 200

{
    "value": []
}

The service provides a little more, but essentially also the empty list:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xml:base="https://azuritetesting.table.core.windows.net/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml">
    <id>https://azuritetesting.table.core.windows.net/testtable</id>
    <title type="text">testtable</title>
    <updated>2019-07-12T15:54:50Z</updated>
    <link rel="self" title="testtable" href="testtable" />
    <author>
        <name />
    </author>
</feed>

We could change our response format to match the XML response from the service… but the responses are working with my sample app and queries submitted by the Cosmos Table API, so I think a release should be enough.

released version and new release in Azurite v3 also addresses this issue.
