Using HangFire without any Dashboard

Question

I am using Hangfire.AspNetCore with ASP.NET Core v1.0.

My Database is SqlLite.

As far as I found, there is no proper SQLite driver for hangfire for .NET Core.

So, I decided to work without any dashboard.

So, what I have configured is like the following:

In Startup.cs, in ConfigureServices method

services.AddHangfire(configuration => {});

And in Configure method, I am using this

app.UseHangfireServer();

But I am getting the next error:

An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in Hangfire.Core.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: JobStorage.Current property value has not been initialized. You must set it before using Hangfire Client or Server API.

I don't need dashboard, so I did not configured dashboard.

Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

The error is telling you that you have not configured a job storage provider. It's got nothing to do with the dashboard. Even without the dashboard you must have a storage provider.

There is in-memory storage available via Nuget called Hangfire.MemoryStorage that you can use if you don't require persistent storage for your background jobs.
