Eternal Functions not working as expected in Function Runtime Version: 4

[kanupriya15025]

I was trying out the below example on my local machine with the following conf:
Core Tools Version: 4.0.5198 Commit hash: N/A (64-bit)
Function Runtime Version: 4.21.1.20667

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-eternal-orchestrations?tabs=java#periodic-work-example

This is the tweaked version of the function I ran :

    @FunctionName("EternalOrchestrator")
    public void startWorkflowSchedule(@DurableOrchestrationTrigger(name = "runtimeState") TaskOrchestrationContext ctx) 
     {
        LOGGER.info("Doing something in the cleanup loop");

        ctx.createTimer(Duration.ofSeconds(60)).await();

        ctx.continueAsNew(null);
     }

I doesn't work anymore with the upgrade to Function Runtime Version 4.21. This is the error I get before the second time timer starts in the loop :

The same works fine on the below functions runtime version :

Azure Functions Core Tools
Core Tools Version:       3.0.4899 Commit hash: N/A  (64-bit)
Function Runtime Version: 3.17.0.0

thanks @kanupriya15025 for reporting this. We'll look into it

[kanupriya15025]

@kaibocai @lilyjma I tried this fix with updating my pom.xml with updating the following

com.microsoft
durabletask-azure-functions
1.1.1

But this doesn't fix the issue. I still see my orchestrator failing with error : java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected failure in the task execution

The same code works fine with updating the Runtime Version back to ~3.

Can we look at this?

@kanupriya15025 , I cannot reproduce your issue on my side with version 1.1.1

My function is the same as yours:

My local results work fine:

As you can see host version is 4.21.1 and SDK version is 1.1.1.

I think you may not have the right setup on your local. As I said in the last meeting, azure function runtime v3 doesn't even support durable function java. It's only supported on v4 runtime.

I am getting below errors with the basic orchestration sample when running on v3

So I was wondering how you were able to run durable function java on v3 function runtime.
Please reach out to @lilyjma if you need me to jump on a call to check and help. Thanks.

@kaibocai My bad..I wasn't testing it right. It works fine now. However, this breaks the suspend orchestration functionality now. I'll raise a separate bug for that.
