FailureDetails.IsCausedBy throws

When an activity function throws an exception, and it is caught by a custom retry handler in an orchestrator, the retryContext allows accessing the FailureDetails for analysis of the failure. However, attempting to use the FailureDetails.isCausedBy() method will never succeed, as it internally is implemented using Class.forName() which requires the fully-qualified exception class name but FailureDetails does not have this information serialized, just the simple exception class name.

Repro:

    @FunctionName("CustomRetryActivityFunction")
    public String customRetryActivityFunction(
            @DurableOrchestrationTrigger(name = "ctx") TaskOrchestrationContext ctx) {
        TaskOptions options = new TaskOptions(retryContext -> {
            FailureDetails lastFailure = retryContext.getLastFailure();
            if (lastFailure != null
                    && lastFailure.getErrorType().equals("OverflowException")
                    // This line should work, but doesn't
                    // && lastFailure.isCausedBy(InvalidOperationException.class)
                    && retryContext.getLastAttemptNumber() < 3) {
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        });
        return ctx.callActivity("RaiseComplexException", ctx.getInstanceId(), options, String.class).await();
    }

FailureDetails.isCausedBy() から開始し、retryContext 経由で failure にアクセスしたときに、failure のエラー型がどのようにシリアライズされ、再構築されるかを追跡します。提供されたカスタム retry handler と exception scenario を使用して、failure を再現します。isCausedBy() が cause class を正常に評価でき、再現したケースのカバレッジがある状態を完了とします。
