Nswag client generator tries to generate when azure secrets are added

In the project I am involved with now, we are using dotnet-nswag.dll to generate a typescript api client. I am now trying to switch from using local secrets to secrets stored in azure key vault (I hope to simplify new developers' entry to the project). I however bumped into a problem, that when I use something like below:
builder.ConfigureAppConfiguration((ctx, cfg) =>
{
if (ctx.HostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
{
var keyVaultEndpoint = new Uri(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DevEnv_KVUri"));
cfg.AddAzureKeyVault(keyVaultEndpoint, new DefaultAzureCredential());
}
});
I no longer can generate the nswag typescript api client. My investigation led me to the discovery that nswag fails becasue DevEnd_KVUri does not exists at the generation time. I have this env var added in my launchSettigns.json and it is available when I test my app. However, I would like to instruct nswag not to try to include whatever is triggering it to also go through that key vault endpoint.
If I hard-code the url (and it is a KeyVault url that I have access to), then the generation passes. Generated client does not have any endpoints pointing to my hard-coded url. However I do not like the solution, where I have to hard-code (not even fake but a working one) my key vault address.
Unfortunately, I did not find any solution to my problem.
Edit 1:
The command that executes generation:
dotnet "C:\Users\myname\.nuget\packages\nswag.msbuild\13.16.0\build\../tools/Net50/dotnet-nswag.dll" run nswag.json /variables:Configuration=Debug`
The exception thrown by the generator when no url is provided

DryIoc : Can't figure out how to register IDisposable Decorator object

I'm trying to setup a decorator around an IDisposable db context:
c.Register<IContext, DbContext>(setup: Setup.With(trackDisposableTransient: true));
// c.Register<IContext, ConsoleTimedContext>(setup: Setup.Decorator);
If i uncomment the last line, the program throws:
DryIoc.ContainerException: Registered Disposable Transient service Lib.DI.IContext with key {no key} and factory container won't be disposed by container. DryIoc does not hold reference to resolved transients, and therefore does not control their dispose. To silence this exception Register<YourService>(setup: Setup.With(allowDisposableTransient: true)) or set the rule Container(rules => rules.WithoutThrowOnRegisteringDisposableTransient()). To enable tracking use Register<YourService>(setup: Setup.With(trackDisposableTransient: true)) or set the rule Container(rules => rules.WithTrackingDisposableTransient())
à DryIoc.Throw.It(Int32 error, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2, Object arg3)
à DryIoc.Container.ThrowIfInvalidRegistration(Factory factory, Type serviceType, Object serviceKey, Boolean isStaticallyChecked)
à DryIoc.Container.Register(Factory factory, Type serviceType, Object serviceKey, IfAlreadyRegistered ifAlreadyRegistered, Boolean isStaticallyChecked)
à DryIoc.Registrator.Register[TService,TImplementation](IRegistrator registrator, IReuse reuse, Made made, Setup setup, IfAlreadyRegistered ifAlreadyRegistered, Object serviceKey)
How to mix Setup.Decorator with trackDisposableTransient?

The setting is not available per Decorator registration (as of latest DryIoc v2.8.3).
For now you need to specify non transient reuse for decorator.

LightInject Attempt to create a scoped instance without a current scope

I (noob to light inject mvc) am using LightInject MVC in my asp.mvc 4 app with great results except an occasional exception. Now I am seeing it in pre-production. The exception is: System.InvalidOperationException: Attempt to create a scoped instance without a current scope.
My app start code is:
var container = new LightInject.ServiceContainer();
container.RegisterControllers();
container.RegisterAssembly(typeof(AppDDD.RegisterMe).Assembly, () => new PerScopeLifetime());
... scoped registrations
container.EnableMvc();
I get the error with a stack trace like:
System.InvalidOperationException: An error occurred when trying to
create a controller of type 'MvcAPP.Controllers.HomeController'. Make
sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor. --->

I have created a couple of small test ASP MVC projects to isolate the exception with no success.
The Controllers are scoped per instance, and all the objects with in each instance are designated PerScopeLifetime.
Is there a tweak I can make, or should I stop using PerScopeLifetime? I must have scoped lifetimes for my EF contexts.
The exception is thrown before my controllers finish constructing, so it appears.

I would like you to know that the issue has been resolved and getting the latest and greatest from NuGet should fix your problem.

access to the Object property after new Mock<RadNumericTextBox>() leads to NullReferenceException

I have to write some tests using moq framework (https://code.google.com/p/moq/). I want to check if some value can be read correctly from a telerik textbox in some ASP.NET application. Therefore I want to mock the telerik text box and give this mock as a parameter to the SUT's method to check if it is read correctly.
Consider:
var telerikFake = new Mock<RadNumericTextBox>();
telerikFake.Setup(x => x.Text).Returns("23,456");
var result = telerikFake.Object; //The exception comes from inside the telerikFake.Object property implementation
Accessing the telerikFake.Object property gives a NullReferenceException with this stack trace:

Do you have any hints under what circumstances the moq frameworks Mock.Object method leads to this error?
I found a ticket within the MoQ issue list: http://code.google.com/p/moq/issues/detail?id=326 . Are there any developers enabled to fix this issue soon? The ticket was created in 2011.

Ninject: How to not use the Ninject in "ashx" file and still not get an exception?

This is what i use to implement an Dependency Injection in my MVC3 project,
public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
private readonly IKernel _ninjectKernel;
public NinjectControllerFactory()
{
_ninjectKernel = new StandardKernel();
AddBindings();
}
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
return controllerType == null ? null : (IController)_ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);
}
private void AddBindings()
{
_ninjectKernel.Bind<IUserRepository>().To<UserRepository>().InSingletonScope();
}
}
but i have a huge problem i want to use an Generic Handler an ".ashx" to implement my logic.
But i get an exception because the httphandler is not a Controller.
here is the exception:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The IControllerFactory 'Infrastructure.NinjectFactory.NinjectControllerFactory' did not return a controller for the name 'registercustomer.ashx'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Now is the question: How do i implement the work around this bug, to me to be able to an HttpHandler and still remain using the Ninject in my project?
Thanks in advance.

Due to the HttpHandler being created by the framework and there is no hook or factory method to intercept the creation of the ashx file, ninject is not able to create this object.
However you can use service locator calls or property injection from the ashx to request dependancies from the ashx code. But as far as I know, the ashx must have a default constructor, and you can then either resolve the dependancies from inside the constructor (or anywhere really) via service locator (less preferred method) or via property injection simply like this:
public class Handler
{
[Inject]
public IService Service { get; set; }
}
EDIT: also, to tell mvc to not process the ashx file you need to add this to ignore the route:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.ashx/{*pathInfo}");
