Raven Embedded Instance Issue

[ryanbuening]

I'm trying to use an embedded instance of RavenDB for local development. I'm adding the embedded instance as follows:

EmbeddedServer.Instance.StartServer(new ServerOptions()
{
    DataDirectory = "./localRavenDB",
    ServerUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
});

When I run my .NET Core app with debugging in VS, the embedded instance starts up successfully. When I try to run without debugging in VS, I get the following error:

InvalidOperationException: Unable to start the RavenDB Server
Error:
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'System.Runtime, Version=6.0.0.0

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @ryanbuening

The 6.0.0.0 file version is weird. It looks like the process is trying to use the .NET 6 preview DLLs when it should use the .NET 5 runtime (if you are using 5.0+ or .NET Core 3.1 when you are using 4.2). Can you paste the dotnet --info for us?

If I create a bug report for VS 2022 on Microsoft's side and link them to this thread do you think that will be sufficient? Any other details I should include in my report to Microsoft?

I do not think that more is needed. It is pretty straight-forward. I will be monitoring the issue that you create and comment/assist MS if necessary.

Microsoft ticket submitted here.

So it looks like Microsoft closed the ticket I created 😕. Any ideas on how to proceed?
