[BUG] Function App crashes on startup with error "Could not load type 'Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ParameterBindingData'"

See original GitHub issue

Library name and version

Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage 5.1.0

Describe the bug

I am upgrading a Function App from using version 5.0.1 of Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage to 5.1.0 and now the app crashes on startup with the following error:

Could not load type ‘Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ParameterBindingData’ from assembly ‘Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs, Version=3.0.34.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’.

Looking at the release notes, which point to Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage.Blobs, it seems to have to do with version 5.1.0 of that but even explicitely referencing that package the app crashes.

The exception is thrown in Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host, DefaultExtensionRegistryFactory.cs registring the extension Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage.Blobs.Config.BlobsExtensionConfigProvider

Expected behavior

A minor version upgrade should not cause breaking changes nor a crash due to new dependencies

Actual behavior

See description, it crashes.

Reproduction Steps

I created a new Function App in VS 2022 (Version 17.4.5) and added a Blob trigger. Upgraded all packages to the latest version, leading to the csproj as shown below. It crashes on startup at the location mentioned in the description.

csproj content:

As for Visual Studio not using the latest core tools version, this isn’t something I can help with

For Visual Studio you can update the core tools with this button in the options dialog which also resolved the problem for a colleague of mine. Because the installation of the standalone version isn’t respected by Visual Studio

I have the same issue but have no reference to Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage. It happened when I upgraded Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus from 4.2.1 to latest (5.9.0) and that has no internal dependency on Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage, but does depend on Microsoft.Azure.Webjobs (3.0.36). Downgrading Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus to 5.8.1 fixes the issue
