mvn azure-functions:deploy creates 'not valid storage account name'

Question

I'm following this microsoft tutorial below and trying to deploy my azure function using the mvn azure-functions:deploy command. My function app name/artifactid is ci-cd-demo: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/videos/azure-friday-java-in-azure-functions/

However, I receive an error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.4.1:deploy (default-cli) on project ci-cd-demo: ci-cd-demod9632762a is not a valid storage account name. Storage account name mu
st be between 3 and 24 characters in length and use numbers and lower-case letters only.

I logged into the azure portal and created a Storage account. I also did this manually through the Azure CLI in command line. The storage account is "cicddemo777".

It looks as if when I run mvn azure-functions:deploy , the project cannot find the storage account , so it creates one and appends a bunch of numbers to the end of my function app name. I have the function app name , resource group, appservice plan and region variables in my pom.xml under the azure-functions-maven-plugin.

Is there a way to define the property variable for my azure storage account inside my project so I can successfully run the azure-functions:deploy command with this error?

Have you set something in pom.xml? On my side it is no problem. Also, you can use func azure functionapp publish <FunctionAppName> to deploy your functionapp. — 1_1

Update:

Thanks for ennth's sharing. This error comes from changing of functionAppName.

(Since FunctionAppName need unique in all of the world when deployed, it will generate a string of numbers by default.)

Original Answer:

mvn azure-functions:deploy is mainly used for the first time, because the files it produces are not specified. It will It generates random resources, which is by design.

Have a look of this:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-java-maven?pivots=java-build-tools-maven#deploy-the-function-to-azure

Use mvn azure-functions:deploy should not face problem. Have you set something in pom.xml? There must be no character like - in storage account name.

This is my pom.xml, and it is no problem:

In most cases, you should choose func azure functionapp publish <FunctionAppName> to deploy your function app. First, create a FunctionApp on Azure, and then deploy to this App. This is the doc:

mvn azure-functions:deploy creates 'not valid storage account name'
