Google.Cloud.Dialogflow.V2 Could not load file or assembly Google.Protobuf

I have created a new Azure functions projects using .net core 2.0

And when I try to reference this package it says the following:

Http Functions:

    Template: http://localhost:7071/api/Template

[2018-08-07 9:58:53 PM] Host started (1556ms) [2018-08-07 9:58:53 PM] Job host started [2018-08-07 9:58:53 PM] Host lock lease acquired by instance ID ‘0000000000000000000000007D34F7CB’.

(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621). System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load file or assembly ‘Google.Protobuf, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a7d26565bac4d604’.

The function that is giving me the problem:

        [FunctionName("Template")]
        public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run([HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "post")]HttpRequest req, [Table("Template", Connection = "")]ICollector<Log> outTable)
        {
            var json= new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEnd();

            var request = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<WebhookRequest>(json);

I have tried installing the Nuget package manually but that didn’t work. Should I go back to .Net framework meanwhile this gets fixed or is a solution for this?

I’m just sorry I couldn’t give better news 😦

I’m hopeful that Azure Functions will get past this over time - it really needs to in order to work for modern NuGet realities.

@german95n thats great!

@jskeet Please reach out if you see any other users reporting problems loading these libraries in Azure Functions V2 so that we can investigate (unfortunately we do not have a good solution for users on V1)
