Function will not start when using Paket for package management about durablefunctions.fsharp

[jbeeko]

This above was when building and running use VS 2019 (16.0.1). I will try core cli tools next and report.

The following works from the samples/samples-packet directory:

dotnet restore -> 
dotnet build -> 
 func host start --script-root bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.2

What does not work in the Paket case is selecting the project in VS 2019 and using menu item Debug->Start new instance

This is not a DurableFunctions issue per-se but rather this issue: fsprojects/Paket#3345 (comment) means the build process puts an empty extenstions.json file insamples-paket\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.2 rather than the correct file in samples-paket\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.2\bin. As a result the durable functions extension is not found.

Having the extensions file in the wrong place has not been an issue up to now because http bindings are build in.

Others don't seem to be encountering #3345 the way I am so my situation could just be something unique to my configuration. I'll build a clean VM with VS 2019 and report back.

I can reproduce it in both VS 2017 and 2019 when I do a fresh build or rebuild from VS. If I'll do a fresh build (or clean/build or build --force) using dotnet cli then it runs fine, even when running from VS. It looks like it's related to the way VS builds the project.
