Why are we getting duplicate events for the same BlobCreated?
I'm using the following binding in my function app:
[Blob("%Detach:Output%/{file}", Write)] CloudBlockBlob @out,
The only time when I am writing to this output binding is here:
await @out.UploadTextAsync(xml);
I have an event defined like so:
Where Detach:Output
env variable is xml-output-with-links-container
.
I am consistently getting 2 events for every execution of this function:
The eventTime
between the two events are slightly different:
- 2019-08-05T22:27:06.5279893Z
- 2019-08-05T22:27:06.5019647Z
We know that they are firing for the same blob because the subject
of the event identifies which blob it is:
"subject": "/blobServices/default/containers/xml-output-with-links-container/blobs/tobossthe_awesome_blob.xml",
I've tested this manually by uploading a payload to xml-output-with-links-container
and have gotten just 1 event to fire. Yet, when the function is executed, two events are created.
Why are we getting duplicate events?
Here's the entire function:
{
[FunctionName("Detach")]
[StorageAccount("Global:Connection")]
public static async Task Run(
[QueueTrigger("%Detach:Trigger%")] DetachJob detach,
[Blob("%Detach:Input%/{file}", Read)] CloudBlockBlob @in,
[Blob("%Detach:Output%/{file}", Write)] CloudBlockBlob @out,
[Blob("%Detach:Error%/{file}", Write)] CloudBlockBlob fail,
[Blob("%Detach:Error%/{file}_error", Write)] CloudBlockBlob error,
[Blob("%Detach:Attachments%", Write)] CloudBlobContainer attachments)
{
try
{
var xml = await @in.DownloadTextAsync();
var size = ToInt32(GetEnvironmentVariable("Detach:BytesThreshold"));
var bigNodes = GetNodesGreaterThan(size, xml);
foreach (var node in bigNodes)
{
var ext = GetExtension(node.Value);
var path = $"{detach.file}/{node.Key}{ext}.base64";
var attachment = attachments.GetBlockBlobReference(path);
await attachment.UploadTextAsync(node.Value);
xml = xml.Replace(node.Value, path);
}
await @out.UploadTextAsync(xml);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
await error.UploadTextAsync(e.ToString());
await fail.StartCopyAsync(@in);
}
}
}
I was thinking that perhaps the CloudBlockBlob
was triggering twice. So I changed the binding to be CloudBlobContainer
:
[Blob("%Detach:Output%", Write)] CloudBlobContainer @out,
And updated the respective code:
var shrink = @out.GetBlockBlobReference(file);
await shrink.UploadTextAsync(xml);
Yet the result stayed the same: I still got 2 events.
