Unable to use Schedule app.

After initial docker setup, with all containers running, when firing up the http://localhost:5100/
I'm welcomed with following exception in browser's console:

crit: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Rendering.WebAssemblyRenderer[100]
      Unhandled exception rendering component: String '09/23/2030 00:00:00 -04:00' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Interesting. I guess somehow the docker container is picking up a datetime format preference from your host OS, so 9/23/2030 is being interpreted as the 9th day of the 23rd month.

Could be related: dotnet/runtime#42328
Could be used to specify locale: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28405902/how-to-set-the-locale-inside-a-debian-ubuntu-docker-container

Is anyone else (probably in a locale that uses day/month/year) seeing this?

Unfortunately I was unable to fix this issue with provided help, although I am a beginner when it comes to docker / containers / etc.
I tried to modify Dockerfile of ddd.clientmanager.blazor as follows:

#See https://aka.ms/containerfastmode to understand how Visual Studio uses this Dockerfile to build your images for faster debugging.

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0.100-rc.1-buster-slim AS build
WORKDIR /app

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y locales && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
 && locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8"
ENV LANG=en_US.UTF-8 \
    LANGUAGE=en_US:en \
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

COPY FrontDesk/src/FrontDesk.Blazor ./FrontDesk.Blazor

Are you able to build locally? Docker is an option, and usually an easier one, but not the only one.

[quain24]

Yes, with suggested rabbit-mq container spun up I am able to run FrontDesk.Blazor from VS.
My main concern is that I wanted to see all of this working as one, as presented in Your Pluralsight course.

[ardalis]

You can do that by just having multiple visual studio instances (or terminals) running, and run each of the apps on their own ports. The table in the README shows the ports that should be in use when you do this yourself vs. in docker. When I'm working with it locally and troubleshooting, debugging, or even developing this is how I run it.

I think this is now fixed - let me know if it's still an issue.
