Problems on an Ubuntu 20.04 System

[Master-Silver]

Hi @Xelit3 ,

I tryed to run my app on an Ubuntu 20.04 system with NetCore 3.1. For some reason SecureConfig wants to access appsettings.Development.json over a really weird path and it fails. I´m not sure why it tries to access it all?

Hi @Master-Silver !

Let me try to reproduce it and I will revert to you.

Thank you

Hi @Master-Silver !

Could you please update the package to the latest version [1.2.3] and see if now it works for you?

One unneccssary check regarding Development appSettings was kept from previous versions. This should be the cause of the error, I leave the issue open until your confirmation.

Regards,

Hi @Xelit3 ,

sorry to report this, but the bug is still there.

Hi @Master-Silver , no problem, if it is not working fine should be checked:

Could you please provide me the real path where the appSettings files are?

Sorry for the incoveniences

[Master-Silver]

@Xelit3 sure, it is /var/www/guest-wlan-portal/appsettings.json

[xaberue]

Last question @Master-Silver, is appsettings.Development.json also in the same path? Could you check it please?

I have a hotfix for that, but not reproducible in my own system. I will try to prepare a beta version for you, and If it works well, deploy a release version of that.

Thanks in advance

[Master-Silver]

@Xelit3 yes it is the same path /var/www/guest-wlan-portal/appsettings.Development.json

Hi @Master-Silver !

Version 1.2.4-beta.1 has been published, could you please try again?

I was able to reproduce it and this package solves the problem, after a hotfix and a better analysis. However, I will wait until your feedback before release the final 1.2.4 version and close the issue

I would like to thank you for your patient, and for reporting it and contribute to improve this tool.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi @Master-Silver !

Have it worked the fix? Have you had the opportunity to update it?

Thanks in advance :)

[Master-Silver]

Looks good. I'm in the middle of rewrites, so I just tested your .NET Core 3.1 example under the same settings I used for my app.

Perfect, I will wait until your last confirmation, then I will publish a release version [1.2.4] and close the issue

Again, thank you a lot for your contribution.

Best regards
