How to dispose IConfiguration in an ASP.NET Core application

Question

I have a .NET core solution for APIs catering to a mobile application.

In that I am using IConfiguration service to read the config (IConfiguration config = new ConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonFile(ModelConstants.SettingFile).Build();)

This is working but while running coverity test it is throwing an error with resource leak.

ConfigurationBuilder doesn't have Dispose.

Answer 1

If the config object must be disposed when it is disposable, try something like this:

IConfiguration config = new ConfigurationBuilder( ).AddJsonFile( ModelConstants.SettingFile ).Build( );
using( config as IDisposable )
{
   . . .
}
