Cannot get section data from IConfigurationRoot .NET Core console app

Question

I making .NET Core console app and need to use env variables like in ASP.NET Core

So I'm using this approach

https://github.com/mattosaurus/BitscryExamples/tree/master/ConsoleAppSettings

Here is my appSettings.json file

 {
  "ServerUrls": {
    "MonitoredDeviceWs": "******",
    "MonitoredDeviceBaseFindUri": "*******",
    "MonitoredDeviceBaseUploadUri": "*********"
  },
  "Auth": {
    "User": "",
    "Password": ""
  },
  "AppNames": [
    "Skype",
    "Teams",
    "Zoom",
    "Cisco"
  ],
  "Other": {
    "Space": 0,
    "ExecutionFrequency": 30,
    "TimerGetInterval": 240
  }
}

I need to get MonitoredDeviceWs for example I try to do it like this

 private readonly IConfigurationRoot _config;




public SymphonyCloudCommunicator(IConfigurationRoot config)
        {
            _config = config;
        }

var MonitoredDeviceWs = _config.GetSection("ServerUrls")

But I don't see get method after GetSection , so I cannot get value like this _configuration.GetSection("ServerUrls").Get<POCO>();

Where am I wrong?

Answer 1

It sounds like you haven't installed the right NuGet Package?

Check for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration in your dependencies.

Answer 2

Try this:

 private readonly IConfiguration _config;




public SymphonyCloudCommunicator(IConfiguration config)
        {
            _config = config;
        }

Answer 3

the T Get<T>(this IConfiguration configuration) method is defined in the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBinder class

Have you installed the microsoft.extensions.configuration.binder package?
