I'm using .NET Core and have written an Azure function. I get this exception at runtime, thrown by the client of the orchestrator:

> Grpc.Core.RpcException: 'Status(StatusCode="Internal", Detail="Failed to start instance with ID 123e757c8a0f7480986a27525f8877aeb.
>
> Inner exception message:    
> The function 'ABCOrchestrator' doesn't exist, is disabled, or is not an orchestrator function. Additional info: No orchestrator functions are currently registered!.")'

This is my code:

[Function(nameof(ClientABCOrchestrator))]
public async Task<string> Run(
    [BlobTrigger("someContainer/{someFileName}", Connection = "connString")] BlobClient clientBlob,
    string someFileName,
    [DurableClient] DurableTaskClient client)
{
    var instanceId = "";

    try
    {
        instanceId = await  client.ScheduleNewOrchestrationInstanceAsync(nameof(DocumentProcessingOrchestrator), dmsFileUploaded);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

Orchestrator code:

namespace myNS
{
    [DurableTask(nameof(ABCOrchestrator ))]
    public class ABCOrchestrator : TaskOrchestrator<string, string>
    {
        public ABCOrchestrator () {}

        public async override Task<string> RunAsync(TaskOrchestrationContext context, string input)
        {
            // Calling the class based task activity.... 
            var result = await context.CallActivityAsync<bool>(nameof(SomerActivity), input);
        }
    }
}

Are the class-based Orchestrator and activity not supported in .NET Core Azure functions anymore?

These were working before but it got busted after the packages were updated.

Orchestrator client would successfully invoke the Orchestrator. And it was, before packages were updated.

To fix the error, add FunctionsEnableWorkerIndexing and FunctionsEnableExecutorSourceGen in .csproj:

<FunctionsEnableWorkerIndexing>false</FunctionsEnableWorkerIndexing>
<FunctionsEnableExecutorSourceGen>false</FunctionsEnableExecutorSourceGen>

Also install Microsoft.DurableTask.Generators package.

I could run Class-based Orchestrators in .NET 8.0 isolated Azure functions.

Function code:

public static class Function1
{
    [Function("Function1_HttpStart")]
    public static async Task Run(
        [BlobTrigger("container1/{someFileName}", Connection = "connString")] BlobClient clientBlob,
        string someFileName,
        [DurableClient] DurableTaskClient client,
        ILogger log)
    {
        var instanceId = "";

        try
        {
            var input = "FileUploaded"; 
            instanceId = await client.ScheduleNewOrchestrationInstanceAsync(nameof(ABCOrchestrator), input);            
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw;
        }

    }
}

Class-based activities and orchestrations:

[DurableTask(nameof(SayHelloActivity))]
public class SayHelloActivity : TaskActivity<string, string>
{
    public override async Task<string> RunAsync(TaskActivityContext context, string input)
    {
    return input;
    }
}

[DurableTask(nameof(ABCOrchestrator))]
public class ABCOrchestrator : TaskOrchestrator<string, string>
{
    public ABCOrchestrator() { }

    public async override Task<string> RunAsync(TaskOrchestrationContext context, string input)
    {
        var result = await context.CallSayHelloActivityAsync(input);
        return result;
    }
}

Program.cs:

using FunctionApp;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

var builder = FunctionsApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.ConfigureFunctionsWebApplication();
builder.Services.Configure<KestrelServerOptions>(options =>
{
    options.AllowSynchronousIO = true;
});
builder.Build().Run();

.csproj:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <AzureFunctionsVersion>v4</AzureFunctionsVersion>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <FunctionsEnableWorkerIndexing>false</FunctionsEnableWorkerIndexing>
    <FunctionsEnableExecutorSourceGen>false</FunctionsEnableExecutorSourceGen>
  </PropertyGroup>
