Not able to build F# project in Azure Pipeline - f#

Question

I have an f# project in dotnet core 2.2 with following dependencies.
<PackageReference Include="Expecto" Version="8.12.0" />
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.Data" Version="3.3.2" />
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.Data.SqlClient" Version="2.0.5" />
I can build and run this locally without any problem.
But when trying to build this on azure pipeline I get the following error.
error FS3033: The type provider 'FSharp.Data.SqlCommandProvider' reported an error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlClient, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. Reference assemblies should not be loaded for execution. They can only be loaded in the Reflection-only loader context.
I tryed adding System.Data.SqlClient packages. But still not working.
<PackageReference Include="Expecto" Version="8.12.0" />
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.Data" Version="3.3.3" />
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.Data.SqlClient" Version="2.0.6" />
<PackageReference Include="SQLProvider" Version="1.1.26" />
<PackageReference Include="System.Data.SqlClient" Version="4.5.1" />
When I try to add System.Data.SqlClient Version="4.4.0" i get following error locally
Detected package downgrade: System.Data.SqlClient from 4.5.1 to 4.4.0. Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version.
ElbBazarApiComponentTest -> FSharp.Data.SqlClient 2.0.6 -> System.Data.SqlClient (>= 4.5.1)
ElbBazarApiComponentTest -> System.Data.SqlClient (>= 4.4.0) ElbBazarApiComponentTest F:\ElbBazar\ElbBazarApi\ElbBazarApiComponentTest\ElbBazarApiComponentTest.fsproj
I do not know what else to do.

According to the error message:
Could not load file or assembly. Reference assemblies should not be loaded for execution. They can only be loaded in the Reflection-only loader context.
It state that Could not load file or assembly rather than Could not found file or assembly.
Besides, when we check the nuget package FSharp.Data.SqlClient, which have dependencies:
So, the reason for that error is not that we have lost references System.Data.SqlClient, just we could not load it.
AFAIK, there is issue on the github about it, you could check if the workaround work for you, use MSBuild instead of dotnet build to build this project.
Hope this helps.
