Querying a column of Guid type

Which service(blob, file, queue, table) does this issue concern?

Table

Which version of the Azurite was used?

3.17.1

Where do you get Azurite? (npm, DockerHub, NuGet, Visual Studio Code Extension)

npm

What’s the Node.js version?

14.4.0

What problem was encountered?

When querying for a record with a column of Guid type w/o specifying the keyword guid in front of the value, Azurite returns the record where the real Storage Table would not.

Steps to reproduce the issue?

Step 1

Create a table with a custom column named InstructionId with Guid values in it.

Step 2

Write a value of a Guid type into the table

Step 3

Query for the item using the PartitionKey and the column value w/o using the guid keyword.

Guid instructionId = someGuidValue;
var pages = client.QueryAsync<TableEntity>($"PartitionKey eq '{userIdDeviceIdCompositeKey}' and InstructionId eq '{instructionId}'", maxPerPage: 1);

Assuming the table contains the record, Azurite will return it. The real storage account will not. To make it work with the real storage account, the following query must be used:

Guid instructionId = someGuidValue;
var pages = client.QueryAsync<TableEntity>($"PartitionKey eq '{userIdDeviceIdCompositeKey}' and InstructionId eq guid'{instructionId}'", maxPerPage: 1);

Note the InstructionId eq guid'{instructionId}'

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

No

Thanks for raising this. Agreed, we are aiming for service behaviors rather than documented behavior. I am working on several related issues to entity types and querying. I shall roll this up into that work.

@blueww & @XiaoningLiu approved changes are checked into main, can you help with flagging this for a milestone / release? Thanks.
