Visual Studio Publish looking for dependent dll in wrong folder
I have a .Net 8 function app (DRIContactServiceUpdate) and a web app (DRIContactManagement) in a single solution. The function app is dependent on the web app. Everything runs fine when I run the function app on my local machine. I'm trying to publish the function app to Azure, it builds but fails during Publish for C:\Users\Chris\source\repos\DRIContactManagement\DRIContactManagement\obj\Release\net8.0\win-x64\ref\DRIContactManagement.dll' could not be found
The problem is, win-x64\ref doesn't exist. I found where the build was copying the dependent file to the function app as I expect:
Copying file from "C:\Users\Chris\source\repos\DRIContactManagement\DRIContactManagement\bin\x64\Release\net8.0\DRIContactManagement.dll" to "C:\Users\Chris\source\repos\DRIContactManagement\DRIServiceUpdate\bin\x64\Release\net8.0\DRIContactManagement.dll".
The only place I find win-x64 referenced is in the Publish settings but I can't find a path defined referencing that folder.
I've tried all the typical solutions:
- Clean and Build
- Delete the
binandobjfolders in both projects and rebuild - Restarted Visual Studio
- Remove the project dependency and re-add it.
I can't find anything online quite like this but I'm sure it's not unique. Any suggestions?
After a lot of searching I found this discussion: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/clickonce-publish-metadata-file-could-not-be-found/1430499
I still don't know what is causing the issue but the work-around is to switch the publish profile's Target Runtime to "Portable".
