Hi,

I have an ASP.NET Core Web API targeting full framework (.Net 4.7). Locally through Visual Studio 2017 I can build and run without any problems. If I deploy the solution to AppHarbor (Both pushing through Bitbucket or deploying through AppHarbor CLI) or use msbuild MySolution.sln /p:Configuration=Release /property:OutDir=C:\temp
It can build without any problems, but I get the following exception when running it:
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

If I deploy the output for the working Visual Studio build I get the following exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The configuration file 'appsettings.json' was not found and is not optional. The physical path is 'D:\Users\apphb50b8ca4d416282\app\appsettings.json'.

Anything I can do to make it work on AppHarbor?

   Hi,

   I took a look at your build log for the currently deployed build and it seems the current issue is related to a NuGet package version mismatch with the newtonsoft.json package (version 10.0.3 and 9.0.1). Can you try and update your package references so all projects are using the same version? I think that'd solve the issue.

   With regards to the appsettings.json issue you may have to set the Build Action property on the file reference for that file to Content (in Visual Studio). This will cause the file is copied to the output directory when you build it on AppHarbor.

   I hope this helps!

   Best,
   Rune
