1. Follow the steps in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/tutorial-deploy-function#create-a-function-project to create a .csx azure function.
2. Lots of errors like the following shown in problem tab 'The type or namespace name ‘Newtonsoft’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 'The type or namespace name ‘Newtonsoft’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Expected behavior

Based on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-csharp#referencing-external-assemblies These references are valid, so there should not be errors

Was a solution ever found? I’m having the exact same problem, except with:

using Azure.Core.Pipeline; using Azure.DigitalTwins.Core; using Azure.DigitalTwins.Core.Serialization; using Azure.Identity;

My guess of the issue is that the older KeyVault package (v3) has an internal dependency on an earlier storage package version. My belief would be to update KeyVault to V4 which we are previewing alongside the Storage V12 library. Below are pointers to the libraries.

$> dotnet add package Azure.Storage.Blobs --version 12.0.0-preview.4 $> dotnet add package Azure.Storage.Blobs.Batching --version 12.0.0-preview.4 $> dotnet add package Azure.Storage.Queues --version 12.0.0-preview.4 $> dotnet add package Azure.Storage.Files --version 12.0.0-preview.4

$> dotnet add package Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets --version 4.0.0-preview.5 $> dotnet add package Azure.Security.KeyVault.Keys --version 4.0.0-preview.5 $> dotnet add package Azure.Security.KeyVault.Certificates --version 4.0.0-preview.5
