Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration'

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to run my Azure Function locally in Visual Studio 2019. I am relying on AppInsights + dependency injection to get an instance of TelemetryConfiguration, so I can construct a TelementryClient for logging.

When I run my function locally, I run into this error,

Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration'

I tried the suggestions in related issues (#4682 and https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/35181), however, I had no luck. Namely, I tried installing downgraded versions of AppInsights nuget package. See repro steps for full details.

Edit: I tried running in Azure instead of just locally, and it fails there as well.

Investigative information

  • Timestamp: N/A (local run)
  • Function App version: 2.0
  • Function App name: DocfxPipeline
  • Function name: CategoryHydrateFunction
  • Invocation ID: NA (local run)
  • Region: NA (local run)

Repro steps

  1. Create a function app in Visual Studio 2019. I created a TimerTrigger function.
  2. Install Application Insights nuget package if not done so already. Package “Microsoft.ApplicationInsights” and v2.12.0 (I have also tried versions 2.9.1, 2.10.0 and 2.11.0 as suggested by the aforementioned issues)
  3. In your function constructor, add a parameter for TelemetryConfiguration similar to
public MyFunction( TelemetryConfiguration telemetryConfiguration ) { ... }
  1. Add an entry for APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY environment variable to local.settings.json
  2. Run the function via F5

Here is a complete picture of my function project’s nuget dependencies:

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights" Version="2.12.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus" Version="4.1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication" Version="1.3.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions" Version="3.0.5" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage" Version="3.0.10" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.ExtensionsMetadataGenerator" Version="1.1.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Identity.Client" Version="4.7.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="3.0.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="RestSharp" Version="106.10.0" />

Expected behavior

After performing step 5, I expect the function to start and my break point in the constructor to be hit.

Actual behavior

Azure Functions Core Tools terminal shows error

“Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions: Unable to resolve service for type ‘Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration’ while attempting to activate ‘DocfxPipelineFunctions.CategoryHydrationFunction’.”

Here is the complete transcript from the terminal in case it helps:

I confirmed Brett’s workaround works.

I believe there’s two issues you’re running into but we should be able to get you running:

  1. Add <SkipFunctionsDepsCopy>true</SkipFunctionsDepsCopy> to your project file. This will prevent a deps.json file from being deployed and redirecting the App Insights reference.
  2. Reference 2.0.11 (or earlier) of the ApplicationInsights package.

Make sure to rebuild or fully clean as the deps.json file may hang around if you don’t.

The good news is that both of these restrictions will go away soon. This PR has fixed the issue (I just did some testing again to maks sure): https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/pull/5551. You can see that for some other issues that are also impacted by this.
