How to have RoleEntryPoint.OnStop() called in Azure Compute Emulator?

I'm testing a trivial web role under Azure Compute Emulator and have overridden OnStart(), Run() and OnStop() methods in my class that derives from RoleEntryPoint.

OnStart() and Run() are called but OnStop() is not - I will either press "Stop debugging" in Visual Studio or close the browser window and the role will be terminated, but OnStop() is never called. I've checked - the override keyword is present in OnStop() definition.

That's not very convenient - it means I can't test my OnStop() outside a live cloud.

Can I somehow make Compute Emulator call OnStop() in my role?

Solution

  • I suspect (but I'm not sure), that if you open the compute emulator UI and "stop" the deployment there, OnStop() should be called.
