.NET 6 new (minimal) hosting model with CMS 12 giving exception at startup

Vote:
 

Hello!

I'm trying to use the new minimal hosting model that was introduced in .NET 6 but I'm stumbling against an error that I'm unsure of how to resolve. the app runs fine on the old hosting model with .NET 6, so this isn't a blocker, but it would be nice though.

The exeption I'm getting at startup is:

Unhandled exception. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The Program.cs

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Web;

// New hosting model (not starting)

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Host.ConfigureCmsDefaults();

var configuration = builder.Configuration;
var environment = builder.Environment;

var startup = new Startup(configuration);

startup.ConfigureServices(builder.Services);

var app = builder.Build();

startup.Configure(app, environment);

app.Run();

// Old hosting model (starting)

var builder = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args);

builder.ConfigureCmsDefaults();

builder.ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder => webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>());

var app = builder.Build();

app.Run();

Is the new hosting model supported by CMS 12 yet or am I missing something?

If I remember rightly it's not supported yet due to some internal complexities of Optimizely on the ordering of how things run. Same goes for minimal APIs, I beleve they are working on an update.

Unfortunately we do not support the new hosting model yet. We have to introduce breaking changes to our initialization to make it work, that's why we decided to wait.

I guess this is on the feature list for CMS 13? Do you have a roadmap for future CMS versions?

We have this https://world.optimizely.com/products/roadmap/ but we haven't planned for a new major version yet, to my knowledge.

What kind of breaking change are you looking at if you don't mind me asking?
