## TL;DR

Check the folder for strays when porting. - FUNCTIONS\_WORKER\_RUNTIME must be python.

## Steps

1. The v2 model (current default for new Python function apps):

```python
import azure.functions as func
import logging

app = func.FunctionApp()

@app.service_bus_queue_trigger(arg_name="msg",
 queue_name="[queue]",
 connection="[CONNECTION]_fullyQualifiedNamespace")
def process_queue(msg: func.ServiceBusMessage):
 logging.info("got: %s", msg.get_body().decode())
```

2. - **v1 vs v2 mixing.** If a `function.json` exists next to decorated code, the host gets confused. v2 = decorators only, no function.json files. Check the folder for strays when porting.
- **FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME must be `python`.** Deploy a Python app to a function app whose setting says `node` and every invocation 500s with a worker error. Verify in app settings first.
- **Connection naming.** `connection="[CONNECTION]_fullyQualifiedNamespace"` with an app setting named `[CONNECTION]__fullyQualifiedNamespace` tells the trigger to use identity (managed identity / DefaultAzureCredential chain) instead of a connection string. The legacy pattern is a plain connection string in `[CONNECTION]`; prefer the identity form.
- **Extension bundle.** Triggers other than HTTP/Timer need the extension bundle (`host.json` with `extensionBundle` id `Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle`). Missing bundle = "binding type not registered" errors.
- **Local testing.** `func start` runs the host locally. Azurite (storage emulator) covers the storage-backed triggers; for Service Bus locally you need a real namespace or the emulator story for your binding.

3. Verify: `func start`, trigger the function (HTTP curl or drop a queue message), confirm the invocation log line, then deploy with `func azure functionapp publish` and re-trigger in Azure.

## When to use

You are seeing this: The v2 model (current default for new Python function apps): ``python import azure.functions as func import logging app = func.FunctionApp() @app.service\_bus\_queue\_trigger(arg\_name="msg", queue\_name="[queue]",... Use this skill when you run into "Azure Functions Python v2: decorators replace function.json, mind the worker runtime".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
