I am trying to publish a Webjob through VS 2019 Community. I have done it before in the other webjob project in the same solution, but this time it seems to not be working.
I got the publish profile settings from Azure app service and the validation on the connection works fine.
When I do the publish through VS I'm getting this error:

Error MSB4057: The target "MSDeployPublish" does not exist in the project

I tried several things like,
intalling MSBuild.Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.targets Nuget Package and
also, re-intalling Microsoft.Web.WebJobs.Publish several times, but not success.

This was worked for me

Run Visual studio as an administrator
Make sure you have the following ling in .csProj file

<Import Project="..\packages\Microsoft.Web.WebJobs.Publish.1.0.6\tools\webjobs.targets" Condition="Exists('..\packages\Microsoft.Web.WebJobs.Publish.1.0.6\tools\webjobs.targets')" />

Note: your package version might be different, in which case replace 1.0.6 with whatever version matches your installed package.
Delete Webjob.Publish.Settings.JSON file (as it was showing an error) and Publishing profiles
Deploy as Azure web job
