Corrupt file when using Azure Functions External File binding

问题

I'm running a very simple ExternalFileTrigger scenario in Azure Functions were I copy one created image file from one onedrive directory to another.

function.json

    {
  "bindings": [
    {
      "type": "apiHubFileTrigger",
      "name": "input",
      "direction": "in",
      "path": "Bilder/Org/{name}",
      "connection": "onedrive_ONEDRIVE"
    },
    {
      "type": "apiHubFile",
      "name": "$return",
      "direction": "out",
      "path": "Bilder/Minimized/{name}",
      "connection": "onedrive_ONEDRIVE"
    }
  ],
  "disabled": false
}

run.csx

using System;

public static string Run(string input, string name, TraceWriter log)
{
    log.Info($"C# File trigger function processed: {name}");
    return input;
}

Every things seems to work well BUT the new output image file i corrupt. The size is almost twice as big. When looking at the encoding the original file is in ANSI but the new generated file from Azure Functions is in UTF-8. It's working fine when I'm using a text file when source encoding is UTF-8.

Is it possible to force Azure binding ExternalFileTrigger to use ANSI? Or how to solve this?

回答1:

UPDATE 2019: The external file binding seems to be deprecated from the current version of Azure Functions.

If you want to copy the file as-is, or do more fine-grained binary operations on the file contents, I recommend using Stream type instead of string for your input and output bindings:

public static async Task Run(Stream input, Stream output, string name, TraceWriter log)
{
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        input.CopyTo(ms);
        var byteArray = ms.ToArray();
        await output.WriteAsync(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
    }
    log.Info($"C# File trigger function processed: {name}");
}

Change the ouput binding in function.json:

  "name": "output",

This function will do exact binary copy of the file, without conversion.

You can see which other types you can use for bindings in External File bindings (see "usage" sections).
