Azure Functions: [null] Metadata generation failed (Rider 2018.3.4) - Resolved

dotnet core 2.1 project with Azure Functions is failing with the errors below.

This seems to be a Rider config issue on this machine because:

  1. This project builds in Rider on another machine with the exact same version of Rider, core and SDKs
  2. On the failing machine, a "dotnet build" completes with no errors

 

Errors are:

 Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.Build.targets(41, 5): [null] Metadata generation failed.

Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.Build.targets(41, 5): [null] System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

This is the output from `dotnet build` on the same machine

As you can see, this succeeds and the functions can be deployed to Azure.

Huh... false alarm, of a kind...

 

Re this link, I added the following to the functions .csproj file:

<UseNETCoreGenerator>true</UseNETCoreGenerator>

 

So, that's great, but it still doesn't explain why the project built on Rider on another machine and could also be built on this machine from the command line.

Any thoughts, anyone?
