Webjob always publishes as Continuous and not Triggered

Question

I have an Azure WebJob which I am publishing from visual studio 2017 to a Standard S1 App Service, the WebJob should be Triggered by CRON but always publishes as Continuous and I cannot figure out what I have done wrong (two other WebJobs publish fine)

I have the App Service set to 'Always On' in application settings

I have a settings.job file in the root with my schedule

{
     "schedule": "0 3 5 * * 1-5"
}

My Program class

namespace EventPushUpdater
{
    using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
    using MBL.AzureKeyVaultHelpers;

    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            Properties.Settings s = Properties.Settings.Default;

            IKeyVault kv = new KeyVaultHelper(s.ClientId, s.ClientKey, s.KeyVaultRoot);

            var config = new JobHostConfiguration();
            config.DashboardConnectionString = kv.GetSecretValue(s.DashboardConnectionString);
            config.StorageConnectionString = kv.GetSecretValue(s.DashboardConnectionString);            
            var host = new JobHost(config);

            host.Call(typeof(Functions).GetMethod("PushEvents"), new { keyVault = kv });
        }
    }

}

And the function being called

public class Functions
{
    [NoAutomaticTrigger]
    public static void PushEvents(IKeyVault keyVault)
    {
         // do stuff
    }
}

The first time you chose 'Publish as a WebJob', it asks you if you want Continuous or On Demand (which includes scheduled):

If you picked the wrong choice, simply delete webjob-publish-settings.json under Properties, and try again.

As an aside, your code is overly complex as you're needlessly using WebJobs SDK. Instead, your code can simply be:

    static void Main()
    {
        // Do Stuff
    }

Webjob always publishes as Continuous and not Triggered
