Hello,

Starting this morning, I am having an issue with the RAD tool. I am running Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition 15.7.4

I am unable to generate any entities using the RAD tool, even a simple "Test" entity. I encounter the following error message: "An error occured. : Unable to load configuration files. Details: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the RAD tool from the Visual Studio Marketplace. I am currently upgrading Visual Studio 2017 to the latest update, 15.7.5.

I am unsure how to proceed, but I need the RAD Tool to work in order to continue developing.

Thanks, -Brian

    to provide more information. I uninstalled v1.5.3 and re-installed v1.5.1 which is the previous installer I had from June. Then I disabled Automatic Updates in Visual Studio Extension Manager.

    Unfortunately I still encounter the same error.

    Hi @sedulen,

    The config file is related to your project not RAD Tool. Could you check if you have a config.json file under "...\aspnet-core\AspNetZeroRadTool" folder ?

    If you have this file, please share the full error message.

    Hi @ismcagdas,

    I have confirmed that I have the config.json file that you mentioned in the "AspNetZeroRadTool" folder.

    I have also tried re-downloading the solution zip file and extracting the "AspNetZeroRadTool" folder again and applying it to my working location, and that also does not appear to resolve the issue.

    As for the "full error message", the only error I see in the command prompt that appears when I click the Generate button is what I provided originally:

    "An error occured. : Unable to load configuration files. Details: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

    I do not see any other error message anywhere else, -Brian

    @sedulen does it work well on the project you newly downloaded?

    Hi @yekalkan,

    unfortunately it does not work on a newly created or downloaded project. I just created a new "Test" project using the latest version. To note, I am using the "merged" solution, so I have the API and UI in the same solution.

    @sedulen There may be something wrong in config.json file or {entity}.json file. I can check them, if you send those files to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> email.
