❔ FileNotFoundException for NuGet Pkg in Az Function App

Hi, I'm receiving the following error while trying to locally test an Azure Function App:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PulicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The system cannot find the file specified.'
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PulicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The system cannot find the file specified.'
This happens during the WebJobsBuilderExtensions ConfigureStartup. I verified that the package is in my .nuget folder and at the path found in project.nuget.cache, and I also tried explicitly installing the package through the package manager. It also happens when I target .NET6 and .NET7, and on both v3 and v4. I found mention of similar errors for version 5.0.0.0 of the Microsoft.Extension packages, but nothing for 7.0.0.0. Not sure where to look and not familiar with debugging NuGet package errors like this.

This error message is indicating that the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions assembly with version 7.0.0.0 cannot be found. It looks like you have already tried some steps to resolve the issue, such as verifying the package exists in the .nuget folder and explicitly installing it through the package manager.

Looks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
