aspnetcore: Updating Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI to v3.1.1 breaks app, prevents startup

Describe the bug

Dependabot suggested an update of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI from v3.1.0 to v3.1.1. I figured it was a minor version bump & took it since my unit & integration tests passed.

However, I then had to roll back this change because my container was throwing 500 errors.

When investigating this further locally, I believe I was able to isolate it to the update to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI (v3.1.0 works, 3.1.1 does not).

When failing locally, I see the following error:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException HResult=0x80070002 Message=Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Runtime, Version=3.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60’. The system cannot find the file specified. Source=<Cannot evaluate the exception source> StackTrace: <Cannot evaluate the exception stack trace>

To Reproduce

A PR that demonstrates the issue can be found at: https://github.com/excellalabs/xluhco/pull/230

I can isolate it further if need be but I think this is hopefully small enough to look at.

Further technical details

ASP.NET Core version: 3.1.100 I believe? That’s what dotnet --version outputs, and I’m targeting netcoreapp3.1

I want to make sure I’m clear – this is an issue with the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI package, not with .NET Core 3.1. My workaround is to downgrade the package (I am still able to use .NET Core 3.1 in the container)

I can reproduce the bug by running the latest .NET Core 3.1 in a container (as I do for my application). Issue is resolved by downgrading this specific package to 3.1.0.

Repro steps for my current situation:

Pull the source code at http://github.com/excellalabs/xluhco (master branch)
Build the docker container (docker build -t testthebug . from the src directory)
Run the docker container (docker run -it -p 8081:80 testthebug)
Observe the home page works correctly (http://locahost:8081)
Edit the .csproj to upgrade the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI to 3.1.1.
(optionally, update the settings json files so that the log level is debug).
Re-build the container
Observe that there are now 500 errors on the integration tests with the error message that I indicate. (this would also happen for all requests when running the app too.
