title: Unable to deploy Azure Function App - error with storage account
body: <p>Lately I've had trouble with deploying a Function App via Azure CLI. Last week on Tuesday, I was still able to deploy a Function App via Azure CLI.</p>
  <p>This week, like any other day before that, I used fairly common Azure Function Tools command <code>func azure functionapp publish</code>. The version of Azure Function Tools I am using is 3.0.3233.</p>
  <p>Now I am getting this error every time:</p>
  <pre><code>Retry: 1 of 3
  Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in &quot;AzureWebJobsStorage&quot; is valid
  Retry: 2 of 3
  Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in &quot;AzureWebJobsStorage&quot; is valid
  Retry: 3 of 3
  Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in &quot;AzureWebJobsStorage&quot; is valid
  </code></pre>
  <p>I checked that AzureWebJobsStorage setting has a correct value, I even connected to storage account connection string via Azure Storage Explorer app.</p>
  <p>Just in case, I created a new Function App in another region and I still get the same error.</p>
  <p>Has anyone else encountered this error? I suspect this is an error in the tool itself, maybe a faulty build?</p>
