Input Blob Binding name fails with an activity trigger

[zecloud]

🐛 Describe the bug
Input Blob Binding name fails with an activity trigger

🤔 Expected behavior
activity function takes a string argument (the name of a blob) and uses that value to bind to blob input

☕ Steps to reproduce

try to bind a blob name to the value passed in an activity trigger

{
"scriptFile": "init.py",
"bindings": [
{
"name": "name",
"type": "activityTrigger",
"direction": "in"
},
{
"name": "inputb",
"direction": "in",
"type": "blob",
"path": "container/{name}.json",
"connection": "AzureWebJobsStorage",
"dataType": "string"
}
]
}

Should work like explained in this link but fails in Pyhon
Azure/azure-functions-durable-extension#172

Thanks @zecloud for the bug report. Do you have a zip'ed reproducer (or a repo we can clone) for us to test this scenario? That would help us get to the bottom of this faster. Thanks!

I tried to reproduce the scenario here
https://github.com/zecloud/HelloDurableFunctions
It seems the binding expression add double quote in the blob path

Greeting,

I was using the blob trigger to execute the function app. From the starter trigger {Blob trigger} I was able to get the uploaded blob name (blob.name). But I have to use that blob name in the orchestration function to give input to one of the activity functions. How can I pass the blob name from the starter function to the orchestration functions?

I know it's basic and i'm missing something simple.
I could not able to find the proper solution for that on the web. Can you help me with that.

Thanks and Advance!

Hi @kkarthikvk: We're happy to help. Please create a separate GitHub issue with your question, and reproducer code, and we should be able to help you pass with data around. Thanks!

Hi @davidmrdavid , is there a workaround for the double quotes issue until the issue is fixed?
