How to use latest SharePoint PnP Core Online in azure function v1

Question

I just follow the instructions as below:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-vs-build-sdk

tried to add new version of newtonsoft.json and then installed the latest SharePointPnPCoreOnline . It works well in my project and also I could do a unit test for my event-grid trigger locally. But after I deploy to azure,an error will happen.It seems the function did not load the proper DLL

Method not found: 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid.EventGridEvent.get_Data()'.    

and executed this code when error

 [FunctionName("ProcessRequest")]
        [Obsolete]
        public static void Run([EventGridTrigger] string eventGridEvent, TraceWriter log)
        {
            EventGridEvent eventGridEventData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<EventGridEvent>(eventGridEvent);
            var siteCreationInfo = eventGridEventData.Data.ToObject<SiteRequest>();
}

very confused about the issue and made all my solutions but could not find the way.

Answer 1

Under this condition and if we have to use both of these libraries,it seems we could not to convert the object to eventgrid object directly.

EventGridEvent eventGridEventData = eventGridEvent.ToObject<EventGridEvent>();

because of the libraries conflict,we can not use this function directly. We should get the key and value separately:

JObject eventGridData = JObject.Parse(eventGridEvent);
        var eventId = eventGridData["id"];
        var siteData = eventGridData["data"];

we should do data conversion in the simple way

Answer 2

The solution to overcoming this issue is by first manually installing a newer version of Newtonsoft.Json via NuGet.

Check the references.

My test project, it has warnings, but code runs successfully.

string webTitle = string.Empty;
            JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(@"{
                  'CPU': 'Intel',
                  'Drives': [
                    'DVD read/writer',
                    '500 gigabyte hard drive'
                  ]
                }");
            try
            {
                //Create the client context  
                using (var clientContext = authenticationManager.GetSharePointOnlineAuthenticatedContextTenant(authArray[0], authArray[1], authArray[2]))
                {
                    var web = clientContext.Web;
                    clientContext.Load(web);
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    Console.WriteLine(web.Title);
                    webTitle = web.Title;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception : " + ex.Message);
                webTitle = ex.Message;
            }

            return req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "Hello " + webTitle+ jObject["CPU"]);
