Discord.Addons.Interactive.InteractiveBase.PagedReplyAsync Not Working

So I'm testing out the Discord.Addons.Interactive namespace to see what it offers. So I write a little InteractiveBase that looks something like this:
public class Interactive : InteractiveBase
{
[Command("book")]
private async Task BookAsync()
{
await PagedReplyAsync(new PaginatedMessage
{
Title = "Book",
Color = HelperFunctions.GenColor(),
Pages = "This is a book".Split(" ")
});
}
}
So I run the discord bot, everything is well, and then I test out the new book command. Then all of a sudden this happens:
Discord.Commands.CommandException: Error occurred executing "book" for USERNAME#XXXX in SERVER/CHANNEL.
---> System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1<Discord.Rest.RestUserMessage> Discord.WebSocket.ISocketMessageChannel.SendMessageAsync(System.String, Boolean, Discord.Embed, Discord.RequestOptions)'.
I don't see what I did wrong, but if you do please tell me.
EDIT:
Someone asked for the project file so here it is:

There seems to be an issue between Discord.Addons.Interactive and Discord.Net having the right versions. That's what usually causes System.MissingMethodException

Could not load file or assembly 'SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers

I am trying to use
wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("logonIdentifier")));
However I am getting an error Could not load file or assembly 'SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers. I am using

It works locally but when I tried pushing it to the testproject.io I get the above error message.
I am not able to change it to the recommend selenium web driver version.

The package you are using is not .NET Core compliant. With some restructure of the code what you need is available with
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
Then take the code that used the SeleniumExtras wait helpers and change to use methods on your driver class such as
WebDriverWait browserWait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(90));
browserWait.Until(driver => driver.FindElement(By.Id("logonIdentifier")).Displayed);
You could easily check the properties on the driver as well, say for the Url, such as
const string expectedUrl = "https://www.google.com";
browserWait.Until(driver => driver.Url == expectedUrl);
Then go remove the package you are no longer using from your project
dotnet remove package DotNetSeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers
Which funny enough is pretty much the homepage of https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/ but when you search you tend to get distracted by the SeleniumExtras project.

.NET Azure Functions - Dependency Injection Issue

On Startup.cs in my Azure Function v2 project:
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts; //namespace from external library
[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(Startup))]
namespace Test
{
public class Startup : FunctionsStartup
{
public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.Services.AddTransient(typeof(Logging.ILogger<>), typeof(Logging.Logger<>));
builder.Services.AddTransient<IUserLogic, UserLogic>();
builder.Services.AddTransient<IBillingLogic, BillingLogic>(); //---> loads up from above referenced "MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts" namespace and this namespace is from externally referenced class library but with in same solution
}
}
}
The above code with my own custom classes within function app project like "EmailLogic", "Logger" works fine.
But the moment I added up custom classes to services container like "BillingLogic" from external C# library project which is added as reference project from the existing visual studio solution it throws up below issue:
"A host error has occurred during startup operation '945918c0-af3a-4d50-ab1d-ac405d4f1c7b'. [2/3/2020 2:11:02 PM] MyFunction.FunctionApp: Could not load file or assembly 'MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621). System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load file or assembly ''MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
If these lines from "referenced external projects" are removed,
using MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts;
builder.Services.AddTransient<IBillingLogic, BillingLogic>();
startup.cs works as expected but referring this external class from referenced project is must for my solution.

How to set dependencies when I use .NET Standard 2.0 DLL libraries with a .NET Framework console application?
which is on all your std libs add
<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle>
so on both your standard libs
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle>
</PropertyGroup>
if this does not work i will delete

Multiple Errors in Razor -- Missing Include? -- Visual Studio for Mac - C# / MVC / Entity Framework

I am experimenting with Visual Studio on the Mac. I have a _layout.cshtml file that works fine in the Windows version of VS but I am getting multiple errors when executing it on the Mac.
The error is:
One or more compilation references are missing. Ensure that your project is referencing 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web' and the 'PreserveCompilationContext' property is not set to false.
And it is flagging many common razor function such as
The type or namespace name 'HtmlString' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
private HtmlString WriteOption(string Menu)
The name 'Styles' does not exist in the current context
#Styles.Render( "~/Content/css" )
The name 'Scripts' does not exist in the current context
#Scripts.Render( "~/bundles/modernizr" )
The name 'Session' does not exist in the current context
int CurrentCustomerId = (Session["CurrentCustomerId"] == null ? -1 : (int)Session["CurrentCustomerId"]);
I've tried numerous things such as
adding and removing Microsoft.AspNetCore
ensuring PreserveCompilationContext is set to true
adding Microsoft.AspNetCoreRazor packages
adding: #using HttpContext.Current;
adding: #using System.Web.Optimization;
rebooting, cleaning and rebuilding....
This is what my .csproj file looks like:

Any suggestions?

There is a difference between "ASP.NET Web Application" and "ASP.NET Core Web Application". Your project is of the first type which uses .Net Framework and does not work on Mac. The "Core" type uses .Net Core and is supported on Mac.
The project types have some differences, like the absence of #Styles and #Scripts. More differences can be found here: http://www.mithunvp.com/difference-between-asp-net-mvc6-asp-net-mvc5/
If you would like to migrate your project, you can use this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/mvc

Roslyn project.Documents is empty when run on Build server

I have a unit Test that checks that all my service methods make a call to some authorization method.
I'm checking this in a unit Test using Roslyn.
The test runs fine on my local machine but fails on the build server, because project.Documents is empty.
I'm using VS 2017 and mstest V2.
The build server is a private on prem build agent in VSTS.
[TestMethod]
public async Task All_public_Service_Methods_should_check_authorization()
{
var workspace = MSBuildWorkspace.Create();
var project = await workspace.OpenProjectAsync(pathToCsprojFile).ConfigureAwait(false);
Console.WriteLine($"AssemblyName is {project.AssemblyName}"); // same output
Console.WriteLine($"FilePath is {project.FilePath}"); // same output
Console.WriteLine($"Documents are {string.Join(Environment.NewLine,project.Documents.Select(d => d.FilePath))}"); // empty on build server
//...
