Can Azure Functions Durable Orchestrator call methods that aren't activity triggers?

Question

I have some functionality in an azure durable function that requires the use of generic params. Since activity triggers don't support the use of generic params, I wrote the function as a non-async static method and called it directly from the orchestrator. I am not receiving an error, but I am seeing the warning Activity function named [myMethodName] does not exist. Did you mean [someActivityFunction]?

Does this imply that I should not call my static method from the orchestrator?

If I cannot use code isn't an activity trigger, how can I call a generic method within my durable function?

Answer 1

As per documentation here, Orchestrators either call Sub Orchestrators or ActivityTriggers, my workaround is have the other logicI wanted to perform inside an ActivityTrigger then use it from the Main Orchestrator.
