Error when using ASPNet Core 3

mlogan · October 7, 2019, 6:24pm

I am using Visual Studio 2019, created an ASPNet Core 3 application MVC. I followed the example for getting Okta setup (Okta Authentication Quickstart Guides | Okta Developer). When running the application for the first time I am getting the following error:

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Internal.RequestPathBaseCookieBuilder' from assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'.

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect.OpenIdConnectOptions..ctor()

I found an article similar to this issue here (openid connect - IdentityServer4 (3.0.0) exception adding OpenIdConnect - Stack Overflow). However I followed the Okta quickstart guide and I do have the relevevent .addCookie in my ConfigureServices section of Startup.cs.

Looking at this further, it appears that this class is not in ASPNet.

From my original error, here is the stack trace:

* ## TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

* ### System.RuntimeTypeHandle.CreateInstance(RuntimeType type, bool publicOnly, bool wrapExceptions, ref bool canBeCached, ref RuntimeMethodHandleInternal ctor, ref bool hasNoDefaultCtor)

Here is my dotnet --info output.
