Set custom context in Azure Function using Powershell

Question

Set custom context in Azure Function using Powershell

Ana 141

How can I set custom status using Powershell?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-custom-orchestration-status?tabs=csharp

I get property not found error, whether I try:
$context.setCustomStatus() or $context.CustomStatus = "bb"

The context doesn't even seem to have CustomStatus:

"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"Equals","MemberType":64,"Definition":"bool Equals(System.Object obj)"},{"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"GetHashCode","MemberType":64,"Definition":"int GetHashCode()"},{"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"GetType","MemberType":64,"Definition":"type GetType()"},{"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"ToString","MemberType":64,"Definition":"string ToString()"},{"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"CurrentUtcDateTime","MemberType":4,"Definition":"datetime CurrentUtcDateTime {get;}"},{"TypeName":"Microsoft.Azure.Functions.PowerShellWorker.Durable.OrchestrationContext","Name":"Input","MemberType":4,"Definition":"System.Object Input {get;}"}

I also tried

Set-DurableCustomStatus

but keep getting an error:
The Function app may be missing a module containing the 'Set-DurableCustomStatus' command definition. If this command belongs to a module available on the PowerShell Gallery, add a reference to this module to requirements.psd1. Make sure this module is compatible with PowerShell 7. For more details, see https://aka.ms/functions-powershell-managed-dependency. If the module is installed but you are still getting this error, try to import the module explicitly by invoking Import-Module just before the command that produces the error: this will not fix the issue but will expose the root cause.

@Ana Sorry, I just saw this comment you made after submitting my answer below. Per the error message, were you able to confirm if the required module was installed?

Hello @Ana ,

I believe the cmdlet that you're looking for is Set-DurableCustomStatus: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-powershell-worker/blob/dev/src/Durable/Commands/SetDurableCustomStatusCommand.cs#L13

Please consider opening a new issue under the doc (the one you have referenced above) and submit a request for Powershell samples to be added -- that'll start an internal work item for us and we'd happy to make them available to you.

UPDATE: here's a working sample: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-powershell-worker/blob/dev/examples/durable/DurableApp/CustomStatusOrchestrator/run.ps1
