Suggestions to resolve integration tests failure in VSTS for Service Fabric, while acessing Fabric Client

Question

I have a Simple test

public void TestCertificateThumbprint()
        {
            var xc = GetCredentials(this.clientCertThumb, this.serverCertThumb, this.commonName);
            var fc = new FabricClient(xc, this.connection);

        try
        {
            var ret = fc.ClusterManager.GetClusterManifestAsync().Result;
            Assert.IsNotNull(ret);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Connect failed: {0}", e.Message);
            Assert.IsNull(e);
        }

        Assert.IsTrue(true);
    }

I encountered no issues running this test against azure cluster in cloud from my local but through VSTS, running into Issues

Test method TestCertificateThumbprint threw exception:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Fabric, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

I have checked the versions, They are valid and they are fetched in the nuget restore build task of VSTS ( based on log file console output)

Environment: VS 2017, Azure Service Fabric, Unit tests, Package : Microsoft.ServiceFabric.6.0.232

Make sure that your project is targeting x64 as all Service Fabric assemblies are compiled to x64 and Azure Service Fabric only supports x64 platform.
