Error while running Spring Cloud Functions sample for Azure functions

Question

I am experimenting with Spring Cloud Functions on top of Azure Functions, and while I was trying to run a sample project for azure functions I came across the following error.

 Executed 'Functions.uppercase' (Failed, Id=4fd6ef4c-209c-45cb-bf65-ce38e90b6620)
 System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function: Functions.uppercase. System.Private.CoreLib: Result: Failure

Sample project link on github https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-azure

public class FooHandler extends AzureSpringBootRequestHandler<Foo, Bar> {
    @FunctionName("uppercase")
    public Bar execute(
            @HttpTrigger(name = "req", methods = { HttpMethod.GET,
                    HttpMethod.POST }, authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) Foo foo,
            ExecutionContext context) {
        return handleRequest(foo, context);
    }  
}

Azure local runtime version 2 (Fails in Azure as well)

Azure Functions Core Tools (2.3.199 Commit hash: fdf734b09806be822e7d946fe17928b419d8a289)
Function Runtime Version: 2.0.12246.0

As there's nothing related to Spring Cloud in the stack-trace, I suppose this is related to Azure. Would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Have a look at this issue on GitHub: byte[] input broken.

Thank you reporting. This is a regression. As a workaround, please use java.lang.Byte[] instead of byte[]

Looks like it has been fixed:
