How to bind function return value to trigger in isolated worker?

[Y-Sindo]

Repro steps

Provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

Expected behavior

The client code as follows should get the return value from the function, instead of a null.

var responseFromServer = await connection.InvokeAsync<string>("SendMessage", "Hello from client");

And the client should print out the return value "This is message from SignalRTrigger" returned by function app code

Actual behavior

The variable responseFromServer is always null.

Known workarounds

No

• Package version: All the SignalR extensions running in isolated worker mode, including C# isolated worker, node worker, and so on.
• Links to repro project: https://github.com/Y-Sindo/DotnetIsolated-SignalRTrigger
• Link to SignalR webjobs extensions source code: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/412c027f1d7ed8cb9675f506d2f863184c55dda2/sdk/signalr/Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.SignalRService/src/TriggerBindings/SignalRTriggerBinding.cs#L111

The return value works if the function app is in C# in-process mode.

During debug, I've found that the SignalR Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host.Triggers.ITriggerData.ReturnValueProvider.SetValueAsync(object value, CancellationToken cancellationToken) is always invoked with parameter value=null with isolated worker.

Anyone could provide some hints on how to troubleshoot the problem? @brettsam @fabiocav
