I just created a new deployment slot for my app, imported the publishing profile to Visual Studio, but after deployment I get this error message:
Error 8: An error occurred while creating the WebJob schedule: No website could be found which matches the WebSiteName [myapp__staging] and WebSiteUrl [http://myapp-staging.azurewebsites.net] supplied.
I have 2 webjobs, a continuous and a scheduled webjob.
I already signed in to the correct Azure account, as stated by this answer.
Will I need to set something else up in order to deploy my app to a staging Deployment Slot with webjobs?
My app is using ASP.NET, if it makes a difference?
Jeff,
As David suggested, you can/should migrate to the new CRON support. Here's an example. The WebJob will be deployed as a continuous WebJob.
Keep in mind that in order to use this you need to install the WebJobs package and extensions that are currently a prerelease. You can get them on Nuget.
Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs -Pre
Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions -Pre
Also, as David suggested if you're not using the WebJobs SDK, you can also run this using a settings.job file. He provided an example here.
Program.cs
static void Main()
{
//Set up DI (In case you're using an IOC container)
var module = new CustomModule();
var kernel = new StandardKernel(module);
//Configure JobHost
var storageConnectionString = "your_connection_string";
var config = new JobHostConfiguration(storageConnectionString) { JobActivator = new JobActivator(kernel) };
config.UseTimers(); //Use this to use the CRON expression.
//Pass configuration to JobJost
var host = new JobHost(config);
// The following code ensures that the WebJob will be running continuously
host.RunAndBlock();
}
Function.cs
public class Functions
{
public void YourMethodName([TimerTrigger("00:05:00")] TimerInfo timerInfo, TextWriter log)
{
//This Job runs every 5 minutes.
//Do work here.
}
}
You can change the schedule in the TimerTrigger attribute.
UPDATE Added the webjob-publish-settings.json file
Here's an example of the webjob-publiss-settings.json
{
"$schema": "http://schemastore.org/schemas/json/webjob-publish-settings.json",
"webJobName": "YourWebJobName",
"startTime": null,
"endTime": null,
"jobRecurrenceFrequency": null,
"interval": null,
"runMode": "Continuous"
}
There are a few quirks when using the Azure Scheduler. The recommendation is to use the new CRON support instead. You can learn more about it here and here.
