Initialize method generated does not understand Relative URL and throws exception (Csharp)

[JasonSmyr]

When generating from a swagger document that uses a relative URL for host, the initialize sets the base URL without saying that it should be UriKind.Relative or possibly UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute

This causes an exception ""Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."

private void Initialize() { BaseUri = new System.Uri("/monarch/mapping"); .. }

should be:

private void Initialize() { BaseUri = new System.Uri("/monarch/mapping",UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); .. }

fix https://github.com/Azure/autorest/issues/2746 seems to be linked to this as does https://github.com/Azure/autorest.modeler/pull/40 by @olydis

Is there a workaround with autorest directives ?

Is there a workaround with autorest directives ?

I have not figured out one if there is , currently we manually change the code and have a unit test to check incase we forget

This issue is causing us some pain too.

https://github.com/Azure/autorest/blob/master/docs/user/literate-file-formats/configuration.md A workaround with "directives" :

Remove BaseUri in Initialize method

• from: source-file-csharp where: $ transform: > return $.replace( /(\s+)BaseUri \= new System.Uri.*/g, "");

[JasonSmyr]

I guess that is a fix.. seems that code gen just needs to use UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute and all would be covered

@deka that link does not seem to work.

Over a year and still no fix? I have to manually edit this every time I update API clients.

Is there any update on this. We are experiencing the same issue and the given directive workaround is not working.
