Unable to instanciate OktaClient with .NET Standard 2.0

[christophecolly]

Hi,

I'm using version 5.2.1 of the Okta.Sdk and trying to instantiate a client in a .NET Standard 2.0 console app:

using System;
using Okta.Sdk;
using Okta.Sdk.Configuration;

namespace OktaSdk1
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var client = new OktaClient(new OktaClientConfiguration
            {
                OktaDomain = "https://domain.okta.com",
                Token = "myApiToken"
            });
        }
    }
}

.csproj project file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
    
    <CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>

  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Okta.Sdk" Version="5.2.1" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I get the following error when trying to debug:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
   at Okta.Sdk.Abstractions.Configuration.Providers.Object.ObjectExtension.AddObject(IConfigurationBuilder builder, Object object, String root)

   at OktaSdk1.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\user\source\repos\OktaSdk\OktaSdk\Program.cs:line 11

If I change Okta.Sdk version to 5.2.0 it works.
If I change to .NET 5 instead of .NET Standard 2.0 it works.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @christophecolly, thank you for reporting the issue. I apologize for the inconvenience.
We will investigate it internally and update you here.
Please use Okta.Sdk version 5.2.0 meanwhile. Version 5.2.1 uses different configuration dependencies but in terms of functionality, 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 are the same.

Thanks for your feedback, I will use 5.2.0 for now.

@christophecolly ,
Did that actually fix your issue? I have a similar issue and the downgrade did not fix it for me.

[christophecolly]

@Christian-Oleson Yes I can confirm that downgrading to 5.2.0 fixes the issue for me. Are you also targeting .NET Standard 2.0?

I'm not, I'm targeting .NET 5.

[christophecolly]

For me it works as expected with .NET 5 and SDK 5.2.1.

For me it works as expected with .NET 5 and SDK 5.2.1.

Thank you for confirming!

Hello
I am using .net core 3.1 and facing this issue - what’s the recommended fix please (besides upgrading to .net 5)?
Much appreciate

This should be fixed in Okta.Sdk v5.3.2
