Can't call controllers inside shared project

[atorres16]

I created these web projects

• Orchard CMS
• Module
• Reusable API

Module references Reusable API, and it works fine on it's own

Added Module into CMS and enabled it

The problem is, it can't find the controllers on Reusable API from the CMS

Details:

CMS Startup.cs

  public class Startup
    {
        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddOrchardCms();
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }
          
             app.UseRouting();
            app.UseOrchardCore();

        }
    }

Module Startup.cs

  public class Startup : StartupBase
    {
        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
        public override void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddControllers();
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public override void Configure(IApplicationBuilder builder, IEndpointRouteBuilder routes, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            routes.MapControllers();
       }
}

Reusable API Startup.cs

   public class Startup
    {
        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddControllers();
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }

            app.UseRouting();

            app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
            {
                endpoints.MapControllers();
            });
        }
    }

ReusableAPI/Controllers/TestController.cs

    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    [IgnoreAntiforgeryToken]
    public class TestController:ControllerBase
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult Test()
        {
            return Ok("test");
        }
    }

If I run Module, I can call the API controller Test method with no problems
But, if I run the CMS, I can't call the API controller Test method, it gives me a 404 not found instead.

However - If I add controllers support on CMS/Startup.cs, the Reusable API works!

    public class Startup
    {
        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddControllers();
            services.AddOrchardCms();
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }

            app.UseRouting();
            app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
            {
                endpoints.MapControllers();
            });
            app.UseOrchardCore();
        }
    }

But now I can't access the admin page

You doesn’t seems to have valid startup in module, module startup inherits from StartupBase

[atorres16]

Thank you, post edited, tested with same results

[ns8482e]

I still can't find it valid - verify your module startup inherited from Orchard's StartupBase and Configure method has three parameters e.g.

OrchardCore/src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.Demo/Startup.cs

Line 42 in ce04539

public override void Configure(IApplicationBuilder builder, IEndpointRouteBuilder routes, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

[atorres16]

I didn't know you had to inherit from startupbase, I didn't see that in the videos.
I feel I need to configure something, but I have no idea what

[jtkech]

We now support raw startups that don't inherit from StartupBase : IStartup and that can have different signatures

But the Configure() parameter types we are looking for and then use if they exist, are IServiceProvider, IApplicationBuilder and IEndpointRouteBuilder, so you can't use IWebHostEnvironment, you need to resolve it from the passed IServiceProvider instead.
