Swagger not working on a self hosted ServiceStack Service

Question

Following the code example at this URL :

https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Self-hosting

I created an empty solution, pasted the above C# code into 'program.cs' and ran the following nuget commands to get the required libraries and code files imported :

Install-Package ServiceStack
Install-Package ServiceStack.api.Swagger

The service runs fine, the swagger meta data is delivered correctly, but when trying to visit /swagger-ui/index.html I get the error 'Handler not found'.

I've shared my basic example code via dropbox :

ServiceStackSelfhosted.zip (2.5 MB)

ServiceStackSelfhosted_stripped.zip (8 Kb but needs nuget commands to be run)

Answer 1

Files in Self-Hosting are served from the executing /bin/Release Directory.

Make sure you set the Copy to Output Directory to Copy if Newer (or Copy Always) for all files you would like ServiceStack to have access to.

Answer 2

Apart from adding the SwaggerFeature Plugin, I also had to add the RazorFeature.

After adding RazorFeature, I was able to browse the Swagger UI.

public override void Configure(Container container)
{
    //...
   Plugins.Add(new RazorFormat());
   Plugins.Add(new SwaggerFeature());
   //...
}
