I'm trying to write a Function App using .NET Core in Azure Functions v2. When using the Microsoft.Powershell.SDK package from Nuget (required for .NET Core PowerShell runtime) I cannot get Visual Studio to copy the System.Management.Automation library to the bin with my Function App.
This results in the following error:
System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function: Function1. TestPowershellInFunction: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=6.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. The system cannot find the file specified. System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load the specified file.
I've reproduced this in an existing Azure Function and a new Solution by simply creating a Timer function and adding the following snippet:
PowerShell shell = PowerShell.Create();
IEnumerable<PSObject> result = shell.AddScript("Write-Output 'Hello, World!'").Invoke();
foreach(PSObject line in result)
{
log.LogInformation(line.ToString());
}
This works on a new Console App with the PowerShell Nuget installed, but when added to the Function App I get the error. I do notice that System.Management.Automation doesn't get put in the bin directory with a regular Console App but I'm not sure how to interpret this. I know it's a System library but I can't use it unless the Nuget is installed, so I don't know if this is a special case. In both scenarios I'm using v6.1.1 of the PowerShell Nuget.
Is this a known bug with Functions v2? Or am I missing something?
