.NET 6 on Arch Linux: User Secrets not being read-CodePudding

I am working in a .NET 6 application on Arch Linux. The code is open-source.

I am certain that ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is set to Development because I updated the code in my Program.cs to be:

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
  app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");

  // the default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
  app.UseHsts();
}
else
{
  Console.WriteLine("We are in development environment!!!");
}

And when I run the application with dotnet run --project Bejebeje.Mvc/Bejebeje.Mvc.csproj I can see my above message.

In my appsettings.json and appsettings.Development.json I don't have any variables set.

I do have user-secrets set. When I run dotnet user-secrets list --project Bejebeje.Mvc I get:

Sentry__SendDefaultPii = true
Sentry__MinimumEventLevel = Warning
Sentry__MinimumBreadcrumbLevel = Debug
Sentry__IncludeRequestPayload = true
Sentry__Dsn = https://[email protected]/blah
Sentry__DiagnosticsLevel = Error
Sentry__Debug = true
Sentry__AttachStackTrace = true
IdentityServerConfiguration__ClientSecret = blah
IdentityServerConfiguration__ClientId = blah
IdentityServerConfiguration__Authority = https://cognito-idp.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/eu-central-blah/
ConnectionString = Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=bejebeje;User Id=postgres;Password=admin;

Yet when I run the application with dotnet run --project Bejebeje.Mvc/Bejebeje.Mvc.csproj I get:

It can't find the ClientId here. I even debugged in Rider, and I can see that when I go past that line, ClientId is indeed null.

What am I missing? I've been struggling with this for the past 2 days and I can't figure out why my user secrets aren't being read.

CodePudding user response：

When using user-secrets - you should separate sections with a colon (:) instead of a double-underscore (__).
It is a bit confusing, I know, but double underscores are used for environment variables, whereas user secrets are not actually environment variables.
You can see MSDN's examples reflect this.
