How to return HTTP 500 from ASP.NET Core RC2 Web Api?

Question

Back in RC1, I would do this:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Post([FromBody]string something)
{    
    try{
        // ...
    }
    catch(Exception e)

For aspnetcore-3.1, you can also use Problem() like below;

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/web-api/handle-errors?view=aspnetcore-3.1

 [Route("/error-local-development")]
public IActionResult ErrorLocalDevelopment(
    [FromServices] IWebHostEnvironment webHostEnvironment)
{
    if (webHostEnvironment.EnvironmentName != "Development")
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException(
            "This shouldn't be invoked in non-development environments.");
    }

    var context = HttpContext.Features.Get();

    return Problem(
        detail: context.Error.StackTrace,
        title: context.Error.Message);
}
