Description

The article shows this code:

var frontend = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyFrontend>("frontend")
                      .WithReference(basket)
                      .WithReference(catalog);

and this JSON configuration:

{
  "Services": {
    "basket": {
      "https": "https://10.2.3.4:8080", /* the https endpoint, requested via https://basket */
      "dashboard": "https://10.2.3.4:9999" /* the "dashboard" endpoint, requested via https://_dashboard.basket */
    }
  }
}

Shouldn't it be:

{
  "Services": {
    "basket": {
      "https": [
        "https://10.2.3.4:8080" /* the https endpoint, requested via https://basket */
      ]
      "dashboard": [
        "https://10.2.3.4:9999" /* the "dashboard" endpoint, requested via https://_dashboard.basket */
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hi @paulomorgado - I'm not certain, but I'll double-check, I think these values are parsed as arrays but can be defined as ; delimited values. Does that make sense, if so, then a single string is valid?

Hi @IEvangelist,

Aspire will always set environment variables to be interpreted as array elements and would never override those configurations.

By the way, to be a more complete example, this:

var basket = builder.AddProject<Projects.BasketService>("basket")
    .WithHttpsEndpoint(port: 9999, name: "dashboard");

should be:

var basket = builder.AddProject<Projects.BasketService>("basket")
    .WithHttpsEndpoint(port: 8080)
    .WithHttpsEndpoint(port: 9999, name: "dashboard");
