I'm using version 2.0.0-beta1

Are you sure you're using the right library?

This looks like https://github.com/Antaris/RazorEngine library.

Well I get the exact same error using RazorLight, and from the callstack you could see it is from RazorLight.
I wonder why it got closed.

Just ran into this issue as well. If you previously used RazorEngine, make sure you remove all references to RazorEngine (such as @using RazorEngine) in your .cshtml templates.

Please re-open this issue as we're experiencing the same issue as @molinch and @xxeasterxx

I managed to resolve this by adding RazorLight as a reference in our main ASP .NET Core Web project as well as the library that uses RazorLight directly.
