How are you referencing the System.Data.SqlClient library, if it is via a transient reference then I would make the reference explict. If that doesn't work try adding a MetadataReference for that library. see here for more info.

[haifengwang]

Very simple code.

`using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using RazorLight;
namespace ApiApplicationDemo.Controllers
{
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ValuesController : Controller
{
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public string Get(int id)
{
log.Info("RazorLightEngineBuilder");

        var engine = new RazorLightEngineBuilder()

.UseMemoryCachingProvider()
.Build();

        string template = "Hello, @Model.Name. Welcome to RazorLight repository";
        ViewModel model = new ViewModel() { Name = "John Doe" };

        string result = "";
        try
        {
            result = engine.CompileRenderAsync("templateKey", template, model).Result;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            log.Info("RazorEngineException", ex);
            throw new Exception("Exception", ex);
        }

        return result;
    }
}

}

Hi @haifengwang, When I deployed code to server I've caught this error like this .
Have you have a solution for this ? Can you support to me.
@colinbull this is my error : _Cannot find compilation library location for package 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry'_
Can you support in this solution

var metadataReference = MetadataReference.CreateFromFile("path-to-your-assembly");

            var engine = new RazorLightEngineBuilder()
                                          .UseMemoryCachingProvider()
                                          .Build();

Note: About environment, that I've deployed code is CentOS

[ragnarek81997]

I have the same problem, but only when building on a linux (.net core 2.1)
in code

var _engine = new RazorLightEngineBuilder()
.UseFilesystemProject(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "Templates"))
.UseMemoryCachingProvider()
.Build();

var result = string.Empty;
var cacheResult = _engine.TemplateCache.RetrieveTemplate(viewPath);
if (cacheResult.Success)
{
    result = await _engine.RenderTemplateAsync(cacheResult.Template.TemplatePageFactory(), model);
}
else
{
    result = await _engine.CompileRenderAsync(viewPath, model);
}

exception

@ragnarek81997 I had the same problem. But my app is a Azure WebApp normal. (running windows).

I'm using aspnet core 2.1. Locally works fine, but on Azure webapp i got this error

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find compilation library location for package 'Microsoft.NETCore.App'

[rybczak]

@penihel I have exactly same error on Azure env. Have you discovered any solution?

[huanbd]

I've resolved this error, this is my work.
In project file *.csproj, change to like this:

<PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext>
    <MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>false</MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>
  </PropertyGroup>

and when deploy your project, copy all file/folder in bin folder
