Question

When I deploy my project with \"Publish as Azure WebJob\" using Visual Studio 2013/update 4, I get the error in the title.

Answer 1

I have Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and i was facing the same issue. The solution i found that is working for me is the following:

1) Open *.pubxml file under properties -> publish profiles.

2) Look for the Path attribute under PublishDatabaseSettings section:

3) Set Path attribute value to the following:

4) Delete the existing webjob deployment in Azure Job Collection Scheduler.

5) Re-Deploy the webjob, Re-run the webjob from the scheduler and it starts working with no issues!

Hope this helps.
