I've written a simple ASP.NET Core 2.2 Web API . The POST method always returns a 404 , but GET requests succeed. public class TestPayload { public string test1 { get; set; } public string test2 { get; set; } } [Route("api/[controller]")] [ApiController] public class TestController: ControllerBase { // POST api/create [HttpPost] public async Task<ActionResult<string>> Create([FromBody] TestPayload value) { return Ok(""); } } I get back a 404 error in my Angular HttpClient front-end. let headers = new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'application/json'); return this.http.post<any>(`${config

In .NET Core 2 Web API app, Publish to folder feature in MS VS 2017 produce: <ProjectAssembly>.PrecompiledViews.dll <ProjectAssembly>.PrecompiledViews.pdb Offical docs says that PrecompiledViews related to precompiling Razor Views , but my API doesn't contain any views or static files, just REST endpoints that return json. Using .Net reflector I found the PrecompiledViews.dll empty . So I deleted PrecompiledViews.dll and tested my API and it seems to work fine without any warnings or exceptions. Is it safe to delete PrecompiledViews.dll and pdp if the API not using any razor views? If yes, Is

I'm seeing odd behavior while attempting to debug xUnits against components of the asp.net core pipeline. The code posted below has all purposeful functionality stripped out to illustrate the problem only which is : Not hitting all my breakpoints in JsonModelBinder. Not exiting on "return Task.Completed" even though it's being evaluated. The production code for JsonModelBinder contains more logic to deserialize the incoming string data. This code contains failure logic which contains a number of return Task.Completed statements. When using this code the the debugger will evaluate these return

I am using ASP.Net Core Web Api 2 on .Net 2.1 Framework I have custom AppUsers and AppRoles tables, linked with bridge table AppUserRoles My main problem is that I want to use [Authorize(Roles = "UserRole")] As User.Identity is working fine and I am getting user Id from User.Identity.Name I thought there was some way to set roles and check them before controller request, or to use User.IsInRole("UserRole") for checking inside controller. Is it possible to rebuild or overload .IsInRole("UserRole") function or [Authorize(Roles = "UserRole")] attribute background function somehow, so I could

As pointed out in this anwer to Asp.Net Core 2.1 ApiController does not automatically validate model under unit test , the automatic ModelState validation that ASP.NET Core 2.1's ApiControllerAttribute gives us only works when actualyy requestion the action at runtime, not by calling it with an invalid parameter in a unit test. However, I still want to test if my action actually returns a BadRequestResult when supplying an incorrect model. Is there any way of doing this? I get that I can still manually check if ModelState.IsValid is false, and returning BadRequest() myself, but that kind of

In my ASP.NET Core application I bind the appsettings.json to a strongly typed class AppSettings . public Startup(IHostingEnvironment environment) { var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder() .SetBasePath(environment.ContentRootPath) .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true) .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{environment.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true) .AddEnvironmentVariables(); Configuration = builder.Build(); } public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.Configure<AppSettings>(Configuration); //... } In a singleton
