I'm new in Elsa Workflow. I try to set up a simple Hello World REST API following the steps in the URL below:

https://elsa-workflows.github.io/elsa-core/docs/next/quickstarts/quickstarts-aspnetcore-hello-world

However, when I set up the project using dotnet, no Startup.cs is found. I check my dotnet version using dotnet --version, it shows 7.0.100. I search the web, it said that Startup.cs is removed and no longer required in Web App, starting from .Net 6.0 onwards.

My question is:

1. Do I need to install the old .Net Core 3.1 to make Elsa work?
2. If not, how do I set up a simple Elsa workflow using .Net 7.0?

I've tried to move the code in Startup.cs into Program.cs as below:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services
    .AddElsa(options => options
    .AddHttpActivities()    
    .AddWorkflow<ElsaQuickstarts.WebApp.HelloWorld.HelloWorld>());

var app = builder.Build();

app.Run();

But when I build the program and run, it gives the following error:

Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to find the required services. Please add all the required services by calling 'IServiceCollection.AddAuthorization' in the application startup code.

CodePudding user response：

Add AddAuthorization to the services and call UseHttpActivities to add Elsa's middleware to handle HTTP requests to workflows:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services
    // ...
    .AddAuthorization();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseHttpActivities();

app.Run();
