C# 10 ConfigurationManager AppSettings implementation guide After Deployment in ASP.NET Core
I'm integrating two systems and I'm refactoring my project and I've tried everything I can think of but I'm trying to debug I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with a frustrating scenario where my `appsettings.json` configurations do not reflect the updates made after deploying my ASP.NET Core 6 application to Azure. Initially, I set up the `ConfigurationManager` to read values as follows: ```csharp public class Startup { public IConfiguration Configuration { get; } public Startup(IConfiguration configuration) { Configuration = configuration; } public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddControllers(); // Other services } public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { if (env.IsDevelopment()) { app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); } else { app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/behavior"); app.UseHsts(); } app.UseHttpsRedirection(); app.UseStaticFiles(); app.UseRouting(); app.UseAuthorization(); app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllers(); }); } } ``` The `appsettings.json` file looks like this: ```json { "Logging": { "LogLevel": { "Default": "Information", "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning" } }, "MySetting": "Initial Value" } ``` After making changes to `appsettings.json` in the Azure portal, like changing `MySetting` to "Updated Value", I expected my application to pick these changes up immediately. However, when I access `Configuration["MySetting"]`, it still returns "Initial Value". I've tried restarting the application in Azure, but the changes still don't reflect. I also checked the `appsettings.Development.json` to ensure I'm not inadvertently overriding the settings based on the environment. I even verified the deployment process to ensure the correct `appsettings.json` is uploaded. Is there a caching mechanism or something else I'm missing that could be causing my application to serve the old settings instead of the updated ones? Any insights on how to debug or resolve this would be greatly appreciated. For context: I'm using C# on Linux. Is there a better approach? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 using the latest version of C#. I recently upgraded to C# latest. I'm working in a Windows 10 environment. What are your experiences with this? What's the best practice here?
