How can I run Azure WebJob locally

Question

I want to create a continuous website, but first I want to try to run it locally first for debugging. I am using Visual Studio 2015 and my azure storage emulator is working (I can run the sample for azure webjobs in visual studio). When I run this, it does not work on the new line JobHost ().
Exception: value cannot be null. Parameter Name: Method

static void Main() { var host = new JobHost(); host.CallAsync(typeof(Functions).GetMethod("GetNextJob")); // The following code ensures that the WebJob will be running continuously host.RunAndBlock(); } [NoAutomaticTriggerAttribute] public static async Task GetNextJob() { while(true) { try { var log = new Logger(); log.WriteInfo("Getting next job to be run", 0, 0, "Brain"); //Console.WriteLine("Getting new Job and putting to que"); } catch(Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); } await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)); } } 

Is it possible to run local work tasks on an ongoing basis?

Laser web jobs are usually just console applications. You can run it locally, as if you were debugging, testing, and running any other console application. I recommend getting the Azure WebJobs SDK and running the Create .NET WebJob tutorial in the Azure App Service .
