System.MissingMethodException : Method not found: 'FSharp.Data.HttpResponse

Question

I have written ATs for my application in F# using Tickspec. I am using FSharp.Data.Http.Request and I am getting the following error:

System.MissingMethodException : Method not found: 'FSharp.Data.HttpResponse     
FSharp.Data.Http.Request(System.String,

FSharp.Data version is 2.1.1.0.

In fsproj:

ToolsVersion is 14.0

TargetFrameworkVersion is v4.6.1

F# is 4.0.

I have another set of ATs for a different application and I am using the same FSharp.Data.dll and the same Http.Request method and they use F# 4.0 and I encountered no problems.

I don't think there is any problem with the dll as I used it in a sample app and I was able to use that Http.Request method. I created a brand new solution as I thought maybe I was using an old version of FSharp.Core and still the same problem with FSharp.Data.

The only solution I found was to revert back to F#3.0 for that particular project. I do not want to use F#3.0 though as we have moved on to F#4.0 with all other application.

Any idea how to solve this?

Add an app.config or the following to any existing one. If you have multiple projects. i.e. test and application you will need to add it to both.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />
  </startup>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="FSharp.Core" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.4.0.0" newVersion="4.4.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>
