In VisualStudio 2017 and 2015 when I attempt CreateIfNotExists() with CloudBlobClient "UseDevelopmentStorage=true" I am getting a 400 Bad Request. When I change the connection to point to a live Azure storage account, it works
open Microsoft.WindowsAzure
open Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage
open Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob
let storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("UseDevelopmentStorage=true;DevelopmentStorageProxyUri=http://127.0.0.1;")
//let storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("UseDevelopmentStorage=true") //also tried formatting the connection string this way
//let storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("UseDevelopmentStorage=true;DevelopmentStorageProxyUri=http://127.0.0.1:10000;") //also tried this
let blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient()
let container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("contactinput")
container.CreateIfNotExists()
|> ignore
Previous questions on this topic were resolved by
1) improper container name, usually capital letters
(that is not the case here, especially since it works pointing to live Azure storage)
2) issue with local development storage not starting properly
(that is not the case here, as I can connect to local storage through the Microsoft Storage Explorer and even inside Visual Studio through the Server Explorer)
3) incompatibility between emulator, SDK, and storage DLL
(recommended solution is "get latest")
This is my set-up:
Azure .NET SDK v2.9
Windows Azure Storage Emulator 5.1.0.0
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage DLL 8.3.0
As best I can tell these are all current, except there is an SDK v2.9.6. I'm having trouble finding a link to download this version of the SDK, all the online links seem to point me to a full VS2017 install.
It's unlikely such a minor SDK revision would be the source of my problem anyway. Any other suggestions as to what my problem could be?
