FunctionExceptionFilterAttribute, is it ever going to get out of preview?

[danielwertheim]

Seem to have been in preview a rather long time: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk/blame/dev/src/Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host/Filters/FunctionExceptionFilterAttribute.cs#L13

What should be used instead if you want to intercept calls to functions?

@mathewc -- what's the latest status on this?

[stephanruhland]

We would love to see the Filters and the FilterAttributes out of Preview!

It targets a lot of interfaces and attributes:

• IFunctionInvocationFilter
• IFunctionExceptionFilter
• IFunctionFilter
• FunctionInvocationFilterAttribute
• FunctionExceptionFilterAttribute

Kind regards

@brettsam Should I interpret this as "there's nothing else to use"? And given the lack of response from your colleague, I'm guessing this will not come out of "preview" any time this year.

Hi @danielwertheim, Details on the status are here. Adding the issue to feature request

Is there any update on this?

I'm going round in circles trying to find a clear statement on this.

@MatthewC commented on #1284 and I think intended to confirm that the feature is dead, but his comment is far from clear. I think by "issue referenced above" he mean the screenshot, which is #2825, which says it's marked obsolete in favour of middleware and references #1284, which says it's marked obsolete because it's not finished yet.

The documentation at https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk/wiki/Function-Filters states that the feature is in preview.

I'm pretty sure this feature is dead, so can the documentation be updated please, and a link added to the middleware documentation.
