I understand that there is no direct way yet to be able use the Storage Emulator to build and test my WebJobs as its not supported in the pre released version of WebJobs SDK, but is there some way to HACK that SDK to be able to try this out?
I don't want to connect to Azure account while I am building and testing my sample projects. So looking to see if there is any kind of workaround.
Regards Kiran
Sorry Kiran, that is not possible. The emulator does not support all the features that WebJobs SDK require to run - that's why we don't allow it.
As of the 2.0.0-alpha-10307 nightly build on MyGet you can run WebJobs against the storage emulator. Not only can you read data from it, but you can also use the storage triggers as well.
The discussion around this being implemented can be found in GitHub issue #53.
Since this is a pre-release and experimental there may be features that don't work or don't work as expected just yet. You'll need to test it for yourself and report any issues on GitHub. So far in my own experience it works fine with Queue Triggers.
Update: This is now available on NuGet in the 2.0.0-beta1 prerelease
