Use when Azure Functions need testing before deploy: running them locally with Core Tools v4 and Azurite, unit tests for .NET isolated, Node v4 and Python v2 handlers, HTTP, queue and timer triggers, admin-endpoint calls and binding checks in local.settings.json.

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.
