以Azure云服务工作者角色读取目录文件

Question

I am trying to read few sql files from directory in azure worker role. Here is my code,

string appRoot = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RoleRoot");

string pathToFiles = Path.Combine(appRoot + @"\", @"approot\SQLScript\");

if (Directory.Exists(pathToFiles))
{
}

I have placed few sql files under SQLScript directory with copy always option, so that it copies those file in bin directory.

Code works fine when I debug in local machine. But it's not working on azure.

This condition fails on azure,

if (Directory.Exists(pathToFiles)) { }

Answer 1

Had similar issue

%ROLEROOT%\\approot\\MyDirectory can be accessible by scripts that ran on startup of the Role

however if you RDP onto the VM that runs the Role you will not be able to access this path

you can try referencing the files through relative path depends on what you wish to do with them

hope this helps
