Durable Function fails to enter activity after net8 and isolated model upgrades

[nickolai-p]

Description

Upgraded an existing set of durable functions to .Net8 and isolated worker model from .Net6 in-process model following this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-dotnet-isolated-overview. The code compiles and the functions run far enough to start a new orchestration but fail to enter any activity function code.

The error appears in GeneratedFunctionExecutor.g.cs ExecuteAsync() line: var inputBindingResult = await inputBindingFeature.BindFunctionInputAsync(context); Error message: Error converting value "{"CorrelationId":"724c2b60-461a-4fb0-97a5-5af3a067360d","MyId":"117cd1de-9e94-4466-a8f1-98ea4a72201d","MyBoolParamater":false}" to type 'Microsoft.DurableTask.TaskOrchestrationContext'. Path '', line 1, position 158.

The code in question seems to be trying to convert or deserialize the function input into the TaskOrchestrationContext type. I have tried modifying the input to be a string or a basic class and have tried changing the json seriliazitation provider back and forth between System.Text.Json and Newtonsoft.Json but the failure persists at this same line even though the exact error message might be slightly different.

Expected behavior

• Orchestration starter function is entered
• Orchestration function is entered
• First Activity Function is entered

Actual behavior

• Orchestration starter function is entered
• Orchestration function is entered
• Error generated in auto-generated code file prior to entering Activity Function
• Orchestration Fails and is unable to enter Activity Function

Relevant source code snippets

[Function(ActivityName)]
public async Task MyActivity1(
    [ActivityTrigger] string input)
{
    var inputMessage = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<MyMessage>(input);

    var result = await _myGateway.DoStuff(inputMessage);

    // throw to trigger retry
    if (result.IsFailure)
    {
        throw new Exception(result.ErrorMessage);
    }
}

Known workarounds

I have attempted to follow the guidance from this issue but it has not worked caused the second issue mentioned at the bottom of the linked issue: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-durable-extension/issues/2527

App Details

• Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.DurableTask 1.1.4:
• Azure Functions runtime version (V4):
• C#:

I have similar issue: I am using latest empty durable function from template (no changes) with latest packages. Deployed on corporate Azure Classic Azure Function (windows) net8 isolated

I am getting following error:
