Assembly changes detected. Restarting host

Question

My Azure Functions were running fine and all of a sudden I am getting several "Assembly changes detected. Restarting host..." messages that is preventing my functions from completing.

I am not deploying new code so not sure what is triggering the Assembly Change event to fire. I was running on the latest version of the runtime and have since reverted to version 1.0.10947 thinking that maybe the underlying runtime was updated, but I'm still getting that line showing up in the logs.

Update Now that @Alexey has helped me track down what is causing the Assembly changes to be detected. I would like to ask if anyone can tell me WHY an assembly change is being detected even-tough I have not changed/redeployed my application.

After looking in your logs we opened an issue https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/issues/1533#issuecomment-303595960.

Your functions had multiple restores but now issue is gone. Restores could be initiated by changing project.json.
