[giannik]

Hello, After cloning and build project when I run the project from source code I get the following error :

Unhandled exception. Autofac.Core.DependencyResolutionException: An exception was thrown while activating Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Infrastructure.ControllerActionEndpointDataSourceFactory -> Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Infrastructure.DefaultActionDescriptorCollectionProvider

This is really strange. The strack trace indicates that there is a problem with the environment. We have not been able to reproduce this yet. The exception is thrown by an ASP.NET core dependency, not a Smartstore one. Analyzing affected code parts with dotPeek does not give us any hint.

Did you throw in any custom code?

[LucaGabi]

@muratcakir first, thanks for the response. All I did is clone the repo from main branch and after nuget restore and successful (build) compilation I tried to start the SmartStore.Web project in debug mode from VS2022 IDE. Also my env var ASPNET_ENVIRONVENT is set to "development".

What would the right steps be to start the app for development in debug mode ?

Nothing more than you did. How is your launch profile configured? IIS Express, IIS?

[LucaGabi]

No .. just start SmartStore.Web

At the bottom of your screenshot it says: ...NET 6.0.2 Hosting. Smartstore currently requires AspNetCore Core 6.0.7. It also indicates that you use IIS, not IIS Express. That's what I asked for in my post above.

Please update the hosting runtime for IIS, OR, use IIS Express, which is a much better choice for debugging purposes.

[LucaGabi]

Thanks I'll give it a try.
