Azure Emulator stuck

I'm working on azure WorkerRole project in VS2015, SDK 2.9. The role works good in cloud, but when i'm trying to run it locally with FullEmulator, role can't be started:

[fabric] Role Instance: deployment29(116).MyComp.Engine.Deploy.MyProject.Engine.Azure.0

[fabric] Role state Unknown

[fabric] Role state Busy

[fabric] Role state Unknown

[fabric] Role state Busy

[fabric] Role state Unknown

[fabric] Role state Busy

[fabric] Role state Destroyed

[fabric] Role state Busy

enter image description here

looks like role is restarting endlesly, the interesting thing is, that break point at the begining of the OnStart() doesn't hit

How to detect the reason of such behaviour?

Solution

  • I found only one way to detect the reason - to look into event logs. There were a lot of errors from emulator. I suugest to check these categories:

    • Windows Logs\Application event log
    • Applications and Services Logs\Windows Azure event log

    • Windows Logs\System event log

      I have found the reason - the role was misconfigured.
