Bug: After application with surrealdb extention publishing AOT Dahomey.CBOR produces errors

[mandars-icpl]

Describe the bug

After upgrading to version surrealdb.net v0.6.0 and v0.7.0 to add compatibility with SurrealDB 2.x, my application works fine when run from Visual Studio without AOT (using runtime). However, when publishing the application with AOT, it throws the following error:

Steps to reproduce

Steps for reproducing are given as follows :

Note:

• You will need a linux-x64 instance to reproduce the issue. Also, the project link provided below is an exact replica of the
• Surrealdb.NET repository's SurrealDb.Examples.Todo.Aot project.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the repository https://github.com/mandars-icpl/sdb-aot-test.git. This application is an exact copy of the SurrealDB Todo API AOT.

git clone https://github.com/mandars-icpl/sdb-aot-test.git

Step 2: Build the Solution

Run the following command to build the solution:

dotnet build SurrealAotTest.sln

Step 3: Publish the AOT Build

Run the following command to publish the AOT build:

dotnet publish SurrealAotTest/SurrealAotTest.csproj -r linux-x64 -c Release

Step 4: Run the Binary

Navigate to the SurrealAotTest/bin/Release/net9.0/linux-x64/native directory and run the binary. Make sure the ConnectionString in the appsettings.json file is correctly configured.

Run the following commands:

cd SurrealAotTest/bin/Release/net9.0/linux-x64/native
./SurrealAotTest

Right after running the application you will see that the applicatoin couldn't start due to the CBOR error.

Expected behaviour

Expected behavior was that the default should be inserted in to DB.

SurrealDB version

v2.0.4

Package version(s)

The packages used in the above-mentioned project are as follows:

Issue Confirmation:
I am facing the same issue after publishing the application with AOT and using Dahomey.CBOR in a project integrated with SurrealDB. The error occurs on a linux-x64 instance as described in the steps provided.

Environment Details:

• SurrealDB Version: [v2.0.4]
• Surrealdb.NET Version: [v0.6.1]
• Dahomey.CBOR Version: [1.13.0]
• Operating System: [Ubuntu 24.04]
• .NET SDK: [NET 8.0]

Steps I Followed:

1. Cloned the repository as suggested.
2. Built the solution successfully using dotnet build.
3. Published the AOT build with dotnet publish.
4. Ran the binary as instructed, ensuring the ConnectionString was correctly configured.

Observed Behavior:
The application fails to start, throwing the same CBOR-related error as described.

Expected Behavior:
The default behavior should work seamlessly without throwing errors during runtime.

Additional Information:

• I tested with the latest stable release of .NET and SurrealDB but encountered the same issue.
• Switching to a runtime build works fine, but AOT causes the described failure.

If you need further details or logs from my side, please let me know.

The dependency Dahomey.Cbor does not currently support native AOT. Since every SurrealDB method communicates with CBOR, it means that the entire library is not AOT compliant.
