Azure Function CLI irregular trigger timing and wrong details

Question

I m testing Azure function locally using cli.

I have noticed 2 issues:

1. Sometimes CLI do not shows correct time when function will be executing. For example I have cron to execute function every two mins but it shows function will be executed after a difference of seconds ? weird.

2. Often it do not starts execution as per time shown in CLI, few times it took much time and then respond.

Is is normal ? Please guide how I can fix these.

Answer 1

* */2 * * * * cron expression means that you want to execute it every second (the first *) of every 2nd minute, so

2:50:00
2:50:01
2:50:02
...
2:50:59
2:52:00
2:52:01
etc

The correct expression is 0 */2 * * * *: execute every 2nd minute when seconds are 0, which should give

2:50:00
2:52:00

Please check if you still have delays after this change, and it so, post it as a new question with exact description of the problem.

Answer 2

try [TimerTrigger("0 */2 * * * *")] see examples here
