Unable to load DLL 'fusion.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Environment: VS 2017 Community edition 15.5.2 dotnet --version => 2.1.2 Windows 10 Enterprise

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1. Create a simple console application using default template
2. Add these Nuget packages:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="WindowsAzure.Storage" Version="8.7.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ConfigurationManager" Version="3.2.3" />
  </ItemGroup>

1. Write these lines of codes to get a container:

var accessKey = "your access key";
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(accessKey));
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("images");

1. Run the application

I had the same issue with .net core console app. I couldn’t make CloudConfigurationManager work so I used this approach instead

var storageCredentials = new StorageCredentials("myAccountName", "myAccountKey"); var cloudStorageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, true); var cloudBlobClient = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

Once you have your cloud storage account reference you can do whatever you want. For example, creating a new container

var container = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer"); await container.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();

But remember that every remote action in the storage library is async so you have to do something like this

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	MainAsync(args)).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

static async void MainAsync(string[] args)
{
	var storageCredentials = new StorageCredentials("myAccountName", "myAccountKey");
	var cloudStorageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, true);
	var cloudBlobClient = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

	var container = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer");
	await container.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
}

Reference: https://dotnetcoretutorials.com/2017/06/17/using-azure-blob-storage-net-core/

I only changed the Mainasync method call from Task.Run(() => MainAsync(args)).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

to

MainAsync(args)).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

Friends, this is broken… and we should move on with a work-around.

The documentation now recommends that you fetch configuration settings as EnvironmentVariables:

 System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AzureWebJobsStorage", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);

Let’s close this issue and mark it as abandoned with this as the recommended work-around.
