The listener for activity function was unable to start. DurableTask.AzureStorage: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I was successfully running Azure Durable Functions locally and now I am not able to run them and am getting the following error. Not sure what has changed -- any pointers on what to look at would be most appreciated.

For detailed output, run func with --verbose flag.

I tried adding this setting "AzureWebJobsSecretStorageType": "files" as suggested in Azure/azure-functions-host#3795 (comment) but still running into the same issue. What am I missing?

@lipalath-ms it appears you are running locally, correct? Durable is trying to connect to Azurite (Azure Storage emulator), which is not running I am guessing.

Going to transfer to durable extension repo for additional help.

@lipalath-ms can you confirm that you're running Azurite locally when attempting to run your function app?
