.NET 8 - Warning AD0001: Analyzer 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Analyzers.RouteHandlers.RouteHandlerAnalyzer' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'

After upgrading an application to .NET 8, the following warning appeared inside my IDE:

Warning AD0001: Analyzer 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Analyzers.RouteHandlers.RouteHandlerAnalyzer' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' with message 'Failed to resolve well-known type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builde
r.EndpointRouteBuilderExtensions'.'.

As I have the ‘Treat Warnings as Errors’ setting enabled by default, this was a blocking issue for me.

The problem is caused by a Roslyn lookup inside the RouterAnalyzer which searches for the EndpointRouteBuilderExtensions class by using GetTypeByMetadataName. However as HotChocolate is using exactly the same class name and namespace, null is returned  instead of the correct type. 

This issue not only happens when using HotChocolate but also with the AspNetCore.HealthCheck.UI package that also has an EndpointRouterBuilderExtension class: AspNetCore.Diagnostics.HealthChecks/src/HealthChecks.UI/Extensions/EndpointRouteBuilderExtensions.cs

Of course we could ignore this warning:

But based on the information I found on Github, this should be fixed in the .NET 8.0.1 release.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
