[Bug] Could not load type 'ExceptionType' from assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens

[pantonis]

Which version of Microsoft.IdentityModel are you using? Note that to get help, you need to run the latest version.

8.1.2

Where is the issue?

• [ ] M.IM.JsonWebTokens
• [ ] M.IM.KeyVaultExtensions
• [ ] M.IM.Logging
• [ ] M.IM.ManagedKeyVaultSecurityKey
• [ ] M.IM.Protocols
• [ ] M.IM.Protocols.OpenIdConnect
• [ ] M.IM.Protocols.SignedHttpRequest
• [ ] M.IM.Protocols.WsFederation
• [ ] M.IM.TestExtensions
• [ ] M.IM.Tokens
• [ ] M.IM.Tokens.Saml
• [ ] M.IM.Validators
• [ ] M.IM.Xml
• [ ] S.IM.Tokens.Jwt
• Other (please describe)

After updating from 8.0.2 to 8.1.2 and when calling services.AddAutoMapper(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()); in ConfigureServices in Startup.cs we receive the following exception

Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

This may be related to https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-identitymodel-extensions-for-dotnet/pull/2888 in 8.1.2 which reverts a change in the previous version.

Can you verify that all IdentityModel.* packages are of the same version - 8.1.2 (or better 8.2.0)?

I updated to latest 8.2.0 and still the same bug Below you can find the version of IdentityModel.* packages

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions.dll => 8.2.0.51101 Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens.dll => 8.0.2.50822 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging.dll => 8.2.0.51101 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.dll => 7.1.2.41121 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.OpenIdConnect.dll => 7.1.2.41121 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.dll => 8.2.0.51101
