I ran into this issue as well with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.dll v7.0.0 after adding Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer v7.0.1 to my function project. Long story short this blog post saved most of my hair https://bryanknox.github.io/2022/07/15/functionsskipcleanoutput-and-functionspreserveddependencies.html

Adding this to my .csproj fixed the issue
<ItemGroup> <FunctionsPreservedDependencies Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.dll" /> </ItemGroup>
