Azure OPC Publisher says "no job received" when trying to write OPC UA data to cloud

im trying to follow those tutorials:

https://sandervandevelde.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/getting-started-with-opc-ua-on-azure-iot-edge/ and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-accelerators/howto-opc-publisher-run

to bring data from an opc-ua server to the azure cloud.

I have already successfully played through the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/quickstart tutorial.

I think maybe the OPCPublisher does not find the configuration file?!

I set up the configuration file under C:\iiotedge\pn.json (with changed ip):

[
  {
    "EndpointUrl": "opc.tcp://my.machine.ip:53530/OPCUA/SimulationServer",
    "UseSecurity": false,
    "OpcNodes": [
      {
        "Id": "ns=3;s=Counter"
      },
      {
        "Id": "ns=3;s=Random"
      }
    ]
  }
]

The container create options are as following:

{
  "Hostname": "publisher",
  "Cmd": [
    "publisher",
    "--ll=debug",
    "--pf=./pn.json",
    "--di=60",
    "--to",
    "--aa",
    "--si",
    "0",
    "--ms",
    "0"
  ],
  "HostConfig": {
    "PortBindings": {
      "62222/tcp": [
        {
          "HostPort": "62222"
        }
      ]
    },
    "ExtraHosts": [
      "localhost:127.0.0.1"
    ],
    "Binds": [
      "c:/iiotedge:c:/appdata"
    ]
  }
}

The log outputs from opc-publisher are:

(edited to show log level debug)

I would expect to read something OPC UA related in the logs, but this is not the case. Seems like the worker is not able to send a heartbeat to job orchestrator?

Was facing the same issue. It looks like the container is not running in appdata but in app. I've changed the createOptions to:

{
  "Hostname": "publisher",
  "Cmd": [
    "publisher",
    "--pf=C:/appdata/pn.json",
    "--di=60",
    "--to",
    "--aa",
    "--si=0",
    "--ms=0"
  ],
  "ExposedPorts": {
    "62222/tcp": {}
  },
  "HostConfig": {
    "Dns": [
      "1.1.1.1"
    ],
    "Binds": [
      "c:/iotedge:c:/appdata"
    ],
    "PortBindings": {
      "62222/tcp": [
        {
          "HostPort": "62222"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
