I have a class library created with dot net core 3.1. There are two files which I am using for logging and reading appsetting.json file. For this I am using two custom class files respectively for logging and reading appesttings.json file. Here is sample code for same.

1)Logging (File 1:CustomLogger.cs)

2)Reading appsetting.json (File 2: ConfigHelper.cs)

Now I am consuming my class library by adding project reference in another separate console application.

When I run my console application, I am getting an exception in GetCurrentSettings method where I am not able to reach to appsetting.json file. Instead it is trying to find that file in current console application of bin folder.

So How could I read appsetting.json values from base project.

CodePudding user response：

The error you are getting is because the appsettings SHOULD be copied to the bin folder as part of the build.

appsettings.X.json should have a setting:

Copy to output directory: "Copy if newer"

Right click on the appsettings.json file and set the Copy to output directory value as Copy if never or Copy always
