What error is it giving you? Seeing as you mention "secrets.json" did you add it?

                    config.AddJsonFile("secrets.json", optional: false);

                    config.AddJsonFile("secrets.json", optional: false);

Guess my question should be, how are you interacting with the json ?

Pingu•9mo ago

i didnt add

config.AddJsonFile("secrets.json", optional: false);

config.AddJsonFile("secrets.json", optional: false);

@3R1C but when I added give me return:

Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The configuration file 'secrets.json' was not found and is not optional. The expected physical path was '/app/secrets.json'.

I already used this and I still dont know What I am meant to do

Pobiega•9mo ago

is your secret identifier in your csproj?

Pingu•9mo ago

I have my <UserSecretsId>id</UserSecretsId> in csproj when i enter in cmd dotnet user-secrets list shows me my secrets

Pobiega•9mo ago

okay good can you show me the content of your secrets file, verbatim? ie exactly like it is

Pingu•9mo ago

here After :

dotnet user-secrets list

dotnet user-secrets list

i got Plantaka:SMTPMail = mail...

Pobiega•9mo ago

give me a sec to reproduce

Pobiega•9mo ago

works fine here. this is a brand new .net 7 webapp with dotnet user-secrets init and dotnet user-secrets set "Platanka:connStr" "1234"

PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets> dotnet user-secrets init
Set UserSecretsId to '350765fc-997b-47d8-9930-e6a4736ab9f4' for MSBuild project 'D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets.csproj'.
PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets> dotnet user-secrets list
No secrets configured for this application.
PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets> dotnet user-secrets set "Platanka:connStr" "1234"
Successfully saved Platanka:connStr = 1234 to the secret store.
PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets> dotnet user-secrets list                         
Platanka:connStr = 1234
PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets>

PS D:\Code\WebApplicationSecrets\WebApplicationSecrets> dotnet user-secrets init

Platanka:connStr = 1234

mhm I used

dotnet user-secrets set "Platanka:connStr" "1234"

dotnet user-secrets set "Platanka:connStr" "1234"

and change value, and in Docker compose my WebApi returns:

Connection id "0HMU1RT1URH9C", Request id "0HMU1RT1URH9C:00000003": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.
      System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'connectionString')

.. docker compose?

Pingu•9mo ago

yes

Pobiega•9mo ago

yeah no shit it doesnt work with docker compose my dude this is literally only for local development

Pingu•9mo ago

hmm , How can i put secrets in compose?

Pobiega•9mo ago

env vars Platanka__connStr would be the name you'd give it to make it work for that path note the double underscore

Pingu•9mo ago

Okey thank you , I need try it

Pobiega•9mo ago

var messageFromEnv = builder.Configuration["Platanka:env"];

Console.WriteLine(messageFromEnv);
Console.WriteLine();

var messageFromEnv = builder.Configuration["Platanka:env"];

Console.WriteLine(messageFromEnv);
Console.WriteLine();

    "http": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "dotnetRunMessages": true,
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "launchUrl": "swagger",
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:5251",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "Platanka__env": "this is from an env var"
      }
    },

    "http": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "dotnetRunMessages": true,
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "launchUrl": "swagger",
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:5251",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "Platanka__env": "this is from an env var"
      }
    },

this works fine

Pingu•9mo ago

      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "Platanka__env": "mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/"
      },

      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "Platanka__env": "mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/"
      },

var messageFromEnv = builder.Configuration["Platanka:env"];

var messageFromEnv = builder.Configuration["Platanka:env"];

still doesnt work

Pobiega•9mo ago

are you trying via docker compose again? you need to set the env vars inside the compose file in that case

Pingu•9mo ago

iam using docker compose up --build yea probably

Pobiega•9mo ago

not yea probably. thats exactly what you must do

Pingu•9mo ago

Okey, thank you for your time Now is working. Thank you again for gaining new experiences! I used in docker-compose.yml file:

  platankaapi:
    env_file:
      - .env

  platankaapi:
    env_file:
      - .env

.env:

DBCONNECTINGSTRING=mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/

DBCONNECTINGSTRING=mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/

program.cs:

string dbString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DBCONNECTINGSTRING");

string dbString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DBCONNECTINGSTRING");

and its Works

Pobiega•9mo ago

yes thats how you do secrets in non-dev environments user-secrets is specifically for local dev, aka via visual studioo

Pingu•9mo ago

Alright

Pobiega•9mo ago
