ASP.NET Core 3.0 app deployed to Ubuntu 18.04 throws Could not load file or assembly System.Diagnostics.TraceSource

Question

Needless to say the app works locally but it throws this error only when deployed to Ubuntu 18.04.

The app is nothing special, it uses Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table and App Insights. What's more, it worked about 2 weeks ago when it was .Net Core 2.2 but the Linux machine has autoupdate set up. And then one day it just stopped working throwing this:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Diagnostics.TraceSource, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.

So I decided to go with ASP.NET Core 3.0 hoping it would fix this Exception. But no, the whole package changes, the error stays!

I tried self-contained, portable, linux-x64... no luck :|

I can't understand where is this package coming from. Stack trace shows that is's coming from Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage. But I do NOT use it in the project except for the test project!

UPDATE - deployed to App Service (Windows)

Obviously, it works without any problem!

Answer 1

I don't have this problem anymore with .Net Core 3.1. So please update your apps.
