We are trying to migrate azure functions from .net6 to .net8. Post migration we get below error. We get below error in function app console when we run function in local.
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The system cannot find the file specified."
Function app uses Microsot.Extension.Configuration package.
Even after downgrading this package or other dependent packages we get this error.

Can you share function runtime (also core tools version), project reference (.csproj), full error message including stack trace? If possible, include code snippet, function.json so that it will be helpful in reproducing this issue.

2023-12-18T17:21:16.29+00:00 Error - "Error configuring services in an external startup class. <FunctionName>: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The system cannot find the file specified.

Function version is 4. In Function app local settings FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME is tried with 'dotnet' and 'dotnet-isolated' as well.

2023-12-18T20:10:08.0466667+00:00 Abhijit Jadhav (INFOSYS LIMITED) Unable to reproduce this issue at my end with the same packages. Can you share the code snippet, startup.cs along with full error message including stack trace?
I assume this reference
Microsot.Extension.Configurationyou mentioned is part of App Configuration logic? If so, I suggest review doc: Connect to an App Configuration store and add Microsoft.Azure.AppConfiguration.Functions.Worker package to the project and follow the initialization process as described.Also,
Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensionsis not needed in isolated model and as per doc: Package references, there should not be any reference to this.Let me know if it helps.
