testland/azure-functions-tests

Runs Azure Functions locally using Azure Functions Core Tools v4 (`func start`), Azurite storage emulation, and framework-native unit tests for handler code (.NET isolated worker model, Node.js v4, Python v2). Covers HTTP, queue, and timer trigger testing, admin-endpoint invocation for non-HTTP triggers, and binding verification via local.settings.json. Use when testing Azure Functions before deployment, reproducing trigger behaviour without live Azure services, or gating function handler logic in CI.

Triggering functions and CI

How to fire HTTP, queue, and timer triggers against the local host, and how to wire the local runtime into CI. Companion to the azure-functions-tests skill.

HTTP trigger

# GET
curl http://localhost:7071/api/HttpExample?name=World

# POST
curl --request POST http://localhost:7071/api/HttpExample \
     --data '{"name":"World"}'

Non-HTTP triggers (admin endpoint)

Per learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/functions-manually-run-non-http, non-HTTP triggers can be fired via the admin endpoint. Authorization is bypassed locally:

# Queue trigger named QueueExample
curl --request POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{"input":"sample queue payload"}' \
     http://localhost:7071/admin/functions/QueueExample

# Timer trigger named TimerExample (empty input is valid)
curl --request POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{}' \
     http://localhost:7071/admin/functions/TimerExample

The endpoint returns HTTP 202 (Accepted) on success.
