The listener for function 'Sometestfunction' was unable to start. Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Common: Server encountered an internal error. Please try again after some time.

The most common problem is Storage Emulator service not start.

Try typing

"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe" status

in cmd to check the status.

If it returns false, enter the following command to start the Storage Emulator:

"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe" init
"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe" start

Let me know whether this can solved your problem.:)
