Exception when adding swagger with .NET Core 3.0

Question

I am trying to integrate swagger into a ASP NET Core 3.0 project and it throws exception right in the ConfigureServices method:

I am using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore 4.0.1.

I have also checked this issue and also this

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {


            services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
            {
                c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger.Info
                {
                    Version = "v1",
                    Title = " API",
                    Description="API for the  Server",
                });

            });
        }

Exception

System.AggregateException

P.S I have followed this guide and the only difference is that while he uses a OpenApiInfo object i do not have that overload available and thus am using a Info.

Answer 1

I experienced this issue, using .Net Core 3.1.2 and Swagger 5.4.1.

Turns out I forgot to add services.AddControllers(); to my Startup::ConfigureServices method.

I was only adding Razor Pages.
