DeveloperExceptionText

Middleware that captures synchronous and asynchronous exceptions from the pipeline and generates text error responses.

Overview

The ASP.NET Core DeveloperExceptionPageMiddleware generates HTML error responses which are less helpful in a Web API project accessed via a REST client. This middleware instead returns error responses in plain text that is easier to read.

Getting started

Install the NuGet package into your application.

Package Manager

Install-Package DeveloperExceptionText

.NET CLI

dotnet add package DeveloperExceptionText

Usage

Add the following to the Configure method in the Startup class.

if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
	app.UseDeveloperExceptionText();
}

Put UseDeveloperExceptionText before any middleware you want to catch exceptions in, such as app.UseMvc.
