How to fix 'does not exist in the current context'?

Be The Code 86

In following the tutorial

everything seems fine until the test run occurs and I get the following error:

run.csx(61,19): error CS0103: The name 'RunAvailabilityTestAsync' does not exist in the current context

All code was copied from the examples in the tutorial so what could be going wrong? Thanks.

Hi BeTheCode,

I ran into the exact same problem while trying to replicate your issue. Turns out that App Service Editor truncated the runAvailabilityTest.csx to runAvailabilityTest.cs (missing the x). Why? I don't know, it just did.

Can you double-check the name of the files?

I did my troubleshoot based on the following article:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-messages/cs0103

Don't forget to indicate if my answer solved your problem.

Actually, I'm getting the same issue. Re-created all the files using the tutorial and checked all the names and still the same problem.

Attached is a screen shot of the files showing the naming to be correct:

I'm glad you figured it out. It's sometimes just a little typo like this one that can cause people to get sucked.

The problem still exists(removing IDs from error for privacy concerns):

In your screenshot, the file is named 'runAvailabilityText.csx' (notice the X) and it should be 'runAvailabilityTest.csx' (notice the S).

The correct spelling for this tutorial is 'runAvailabilityTest.csx'.

Let me know if that works now.
