Azure WebJobs and Visual Studio 2017

Question

I need to deploy an Azure WebJob and tried to follow this article. Is this supposed to work in Visual Studio 2017? I have none of the mentioned context menu entries (tried two different machines).

Answer 1

I have none of the mentioned context menu entries (tried two different machines).

What type of project did you create? Until now, we could see the [Publish as Azure WebJob…] context menu when we create a Console App(.NET Framework) in Visual Studio 2017.

You also need to check whether you have checked the Azure Development option when you install your Visual Studio 2017. If you did not do that, you could re-run the Visual Studio 2017 install exe file to update your Visual Studio 2017.

If your project type is Console App(.NET Core), the publish function is not available until now.

Answer 2

No.

WebJobs deployment features are available in Visual Studio 2015 when you install the Azure SDK for .NET.

It's not yet available in VS2017.
