Azure WebJobs useTimers method not available in .net core 2.0

Question

I am using Microsoft.azure.webjobs (3.0.0-beta1-10941) in a .net core 2 console app. The aim is to create a azure web job,

        var config = new JobHostConfiguration();

        if (config.IsDevelopment)
        {
            config.UseDevelopmentSettings();
        }

        config.UseTimers();

        var host = new JobHost(config);
        host.RunAndBlock();

The config.UseTimer() is expected a reference of Microsoft.Azure.WebHost.Host but it needs 2.1.0.0. If i add this by removed beta version 3.0.0-beta1-10941 then host.runandblock() falls over at WindowsAzure.Storage incorrectly deployed install edm, data, or data.services.

I installed the dependencies but still no luck

I have downgraded windowsAzure.Storage to lower than 9 but same issue.

Azure WebJobs NuGet Package Error

Any ideas how to resolved config.UseTimes() in .net core 2.0?

In your case you could use the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions Version 3.0.0-beta4. I also do a demo for it. The following is detail steps.

1.Create a net core 2.0 console application.

2.Add the following code in the Program.cs file.

var config = new JobHostConfiguration();

if (config.IsDevelopment)
{
     config.UseDevelopmentSettings();
}
config.UseTimers();
config.DashboardConnectionString ="storage connectionstring";
config.StorageConnectionString = "storage connectionstring";
var host = new JobHost(config);
host.RunAndBlock();

3. Add the Functions.cs file to the project.

 public class Functions
 {
      public static void CronJob([TimerTrigger("0 */1 * * * *")] TimerInfo timer)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Cron job fired!");
        }
  }

4. Test it on my side.
