Blog post about shared appsettings about blog-examples HOT 2 CLOSED

I understand now. The above is true for Console apps, but not for Web apps where the ContentRoot is not equal to the build directory. I fixed it with this:

        private static IConfigurationBuilder AddSharedConfig(this IConfigurationBuilder config, IHostingEnvironment env) {
            var appSettingsPath = "appsettings-shared.json";

            if(env.EnvironmentName == "Development") {
                appSettingsPath = Path.Combine(env.ContentRootPath, "..", "appsettings-shared.json");
            }

            return config.AddJsonFile(appSettingsPath, optional: false, reloadOnChange: true);
        }

The advantage here is that you can set optional to false, which will give an error if the file can't be loaded.

Yeah, you got it 🙂 if that works for you, great! I wasn't able to use it that approach, as people run environments locally in multiple ways, so can't make those assumptions based on environment🙂
