  1. To which assembly should you reference?

ITenantAppService is defined in the SaaS module’s application contracts:

  • Namespace: Volo.Saas
  • Assembly / package: Volo.Saas.Application.Contracts

From your own module’s Application layer, you should depend on this contracts package (or project), not on the SaaS implementation.


  1. Add the dependency (NuGet or project reference)

a) If you are using the commercial SaaS module as NuGet

In your <YourModule>.Application project:

.csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Volo.Saas.Application.Contracts" Version="*" />
</ItemGroup>

(Use the same version as the rest of your ABP packages.)

Module class

using Volo.Saas;

[DependsOn(
    typeof(SaasApplicationContractsModule) // <- important
)]
public class MyModuleApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
}

Now you can inject ITenantAppService anywhere in this application module:

using Volo.Saas;

public class MyEntityAppService : ApplicationService
{
    private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;

    public MyEntityAppService(ITenantAppService tenantAppService)
    {
        _tenantAppService = tenantAppService;
    }

    // use _tenantAppService.GetAsync(id) etc.
}

b) If your solution has a separate Saas.Application.Contracts project

In that case, instead of NuGet, add a project reference from your module’s *.Application project to the Saas.Application.Contracts project, and still annotate your module with:

[DependsOn(typeof(SaasApplicationContractsModule))]
public class MyModuleApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
}

Everything else is the same; you can inject ITenantAppService normally.


  1. Why this is OK in DDD terms
  • Your domain layer stays independent of tenants (other than the TenantId value).
  • Your application layer is allowed to depend on other bounded contexts’ application contracts (like SaaS), so calling ITenantAppService here is a standard and recommended pattern.

  1. Do not add a navigation property from your entity to Tenant

In ABP’s SaaS model, the tenant is part of the SaaS / infrastructure context, not your domain. For entities implementing IMultiTenant, the recommended design is:

public class Order : AggregateRoot<Guid>, IMultiTenant
{
    public Guid? TenantId { get; set; }   // from IMultiTenant

    // other domain properties, no Tenant navigation here
}

Your module’s domain model should only know the TenantId. It should not depend on Tenant aggregate or ITenantRepository in the domain layer.


  1. Where to load tenant details (e.g. Name) for DTOs

The tenant details are a read concern / UI concern, so resolve them in the application layer, not in domain entities:

Option A – Use ITenantRepository in your Application Service

If your module is allowed to depend on the SaaS domain package (Volo.Saas.Domain), inject ITenantRepository in your app service and map the tenant info into your DTOs:

using Volo.Saas.Tenants;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;

public class MyEntityDto : EntityDto<Guid>
{
    public Guid? TenantId { get; set; }
    public string? TenantName { get; set; }
    // other fields
}

public class MyEntityAppService : ApplicationService
{
    private readonly IRepository<MyEntity, Guid> _myEntityRepository;
    private readonly ITenantRepository _tenantRepository;

    public MyEntityAppService(
        IRepository<MyEntity, Guid> myEntityRepository,
        ITenantRepository tenantRepository)
    {
        _myEntityRepository = myEntityRepository;
        _tenantRepository   = tenantRepository;
    }

    public async Task<MyEntityDto> GetAsync(Guid id)
    {
        var entity = await _myEntityRepository.GetAsync(id);
        var dto    = ObjectMapper.Map<MyEntity, MyEntityDto>(entity);

        if (entity.TenantId.HasValue)
        {
            var tenant = await _tenantRepository.FindAsync(entity.TenantId.Value);
            dto.TenantName = tenant?.Name;
        }

        return dto;
    }
}

Notes:

  • ITenantRepository is used only in the application layer, which is fine in DDD.
  • Your domain entities remain independent and only know TenantId.

If you need this in list endpoints, batch-load tenants to avoid N+1 (e.g. get all distinct TenantIds, query tenants once, then map names).


Option B – Call SaaS Application Service instead of Repository

If you don’t want your module to depend on Saas domain, but you allow dependency on its application layer, you can inject ITenantAppService (from the Saas module) and use its DTOs:

using Volo.Saas;

public class MyEntityAppService : ApplicationService
{
    private readonly IRepository<MyEntity, Guid> _myEntityRepository;
    private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;

    // inject ITenantAppService
}

Then resolve tenant names via ITenantAppService.GetAsync(id) (again, preferably in batch).

This keeps your module depending only on SaaS application contracts, which is also a valid DDD-style boundary.


  1. When you need richer tenant data frequently

If you often need tenant-related info (e.g. name + some extra fields) together with your entities, a common pattern is:

  • Keep your domain entities with TenantId only.
  • Create a read model / projection in your own module (e.g. TenantSummary table) and keep it in sync with SaaS via:
    • data seeding, or
    • distributed events from SaaS when tenant changes.
  • Query that read model from your app service and project into DTOs.

This avoids a hard dependency on the SaaS domain model and is suitable for more complex or performance-critical scenarios.


  1. What not to do
  • Don’t add a navigation property like public Tenant Tenant { get; set; } on your entities.
  • Don’t use ITenantRepository inside domain services or entities.
  • Don’t rely on ICurrentTenant when you need the tenant of an arbitrary entity; ICurrentTenant is only for the current context.

Summary

  • Keep entities IMultiTenant with only TenantId.
  • Load tenant details in the application layer:
    • Either via ITenantRepository (domain-level dependency from app layer), or
    • via SaaS application service (ITenantAppService).
  • Optionally introduce your own read model if you need richer or more optimized tenant info.

  1. The behavior you’re seeing is expected
    When you add the Chat module to an existing solution (including Blazor Server, 9.1.3 or 10.x), ABP does not automatically create database tables for the module. Until you:
  • add a migration for the Chat module’s entities, and
  • apply that migration to the database

…there will be no chat-related data in the DB, so the UI will appear “empty” even if permissions & features are all enabled.

That’s why it “started working” for you on both 9.1.3 and 10.0.2 right after you created and ran a migration.


  1. What’s needed to make Chat work after adding the module

Here is the complete checklist for others hitting the same problem on Blazor Server, v9.1.3:

A. Ensure EF Core integration for Chat is referenced

In your *.EntityFrameworkCore project, make sure you have the Chat EF Core package and module dependency:

using Volo.Chat.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace MyReport.MainApp.EntityFrameworkCore;

[DependsOn(
    // ... other dependencies
    typeof(ChatEntityFrameworkCoreModule) // important
)]
public class MyReportMainAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule : AbpModule
{
}

If the NuGet isn’t present, add:

dotnet add MyReport.MainApp.EntityFrameworkCore package Volo.Chat.EntityFrameworkCore

(or via ABP Studio’s “Add NuGet Package” UI).

B. Make sure the Chat DbContext is included in the main DbContext

If your solution uses a single DbContext (the default for app-pro templates with -csf), the Chat module will plug into the same context via the ChatEntityFrameworkCoreModule. Just ensure you haven’t disabled/overridden its configuration.

C. Add and run a migration

From the *.EntityFrameworkCore project folder:

dotnet ef migrations add Added_Chat_Module -c MyReportMainAppDbContext
dotnet ef database update -c MyReportMainAppDbContext

Or use Package Manager Console:

Add-Migration Added_Chat_Module -Project MyReport.MainApp.EntityFrameworkCore -StartupProject MyReport.MainApp.Blazor
Update-Database -Project MyReport.MainApp.EntityFrameworkCore -StartupProject MyReport.MainApp.Blazor

Alternatively, if your solution uses a DbMigrator project and you’ve added Volo.Chat.EntityFrameworkCore & module dependency there too, you can run:

dotnet run --project MyReport.MainApp.DbMigrator

D. Verify connection strings

The Chat tables will be created in the connection used by your DbContext (usually "Default"). Ensure the same connection string is used by:

  • *.Blazor (Blazor Server app), and
  • *.EntityFrameworkCore / *.DbMigrator

so you’re updating the same database the app is reading.

E. Permissions & features

You already did this, but for completeness:

  1. As admin, go to Administration → Identity → Roles → admin

    • Grant Chat-related permissions (look for Chat group and enable all).
  2. Go to Administration → Features (on the tenant/edition where applicable)

    • Enable all Chat features (e.g. enable chat, history, etc).

After the migration is applied and features/permissions are enabled, the chat UI will show up and function on Blazor Server 9.1.3, as you’ve confirmed.


If you like, I can give you exact commands/projects using your ABPBlazorServerChatModuleTest naming pattern, but the essential fix is: install Chat EFCore module → add migration → update database.

  1. Solution

The error means that ABP Suite generated DTOs referencing a ProductConsts class, but that class does not exist in your solution (or is in a wrong namespace). When Suite tries to run DB migration, it first runs dotnet build, which fails with those ProductConsts errors.

Create the ProductConsts class once in the correct namespace. After that, you can safely use Save and Generate again; Suite will keep using this class instead of deleting it.

1. Find the expected namespace

  1. Open
    /services/catalog/CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Contracts/Services/Dtos/Products/ProductCreateDto.cs
  2. At the top of the file, you will see something like:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
   using ...; // there should be a using for the namespace where ProductConsts is expected

For example it may look like:

using CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Products;

Note this namespace – ProductConsts must live there.

2. Add ProductConsts.cs in the Domain.Shared project

  1. In the CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Domain.Shared project, create a folder that matches the namespace used above, typically:
/services/catalog/CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Domain.Shared/Products/ProductConsts.cs
  1. Add the following class (set the namespace to match the using you saw in the DTO):
namespace CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Products // <-- adjust to match your using
   {
       public static class ProductConsts
       {
           // Taken from your ABP Suite configuration:
           public const int NameMinLength = 2;
           public const int NameMaxLength = 120;

           // If Description has a max length in Suite, add it here:
           public const int DescriptionMaxLength = 1000; // or the value you configured

           public const int StockCountMinValue = 0;
           public const int StockCountMaxValue = 999999;
       }
   }
  1. Ensure the file is included in the project (right‑click the CloudCrm2.CatalogService.Domain.Shared project → Reload or Rebuild; in SDK‑style projects all *.cs files are included automatically).

3. Rebuild and re-run ABP Suite

  1. From the solution root, run:
dotnet build

It should now succeed without the ProductConsts errors.

  1. Open ABP Suite from ABP Studio again, go to your CloudCrm2.CatalogService CRUD page and click Save and Generate.
    Since ProductConsts now exists as a normal class in the expected namespace, Suite’s regeneration will compile fine and DB migration should complete.

If you later change the validation values (min/max lengths, ranges) in ABP Suite, remember to update the constants in ProductConsts to keep them in sync.

  1. Solution

In that older ticket (similar to your case), the actual fix was:

Configure AbpDbContextOptions so that module DbContexts (like IdentityDbContext, PermissionManagementDbContext, AuditLoggingDbContext, etc.) get a provider configuration (e.g. UseSqlServer()).

In the microservice template, only the service’s own DbContext (e.g. MyServiceDbContext) was being configured, so when ABP tried to resolve a module DbContext, it threw:

No configuration found for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext … Use services.Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(...) to configure it.

The answer from that thread was essentially one of these two patterns:

Option A – Global provider for all DbContexts

Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(options =>
{
    // Existing per-DbContext configuration for your own context
    options.Configure<MyServiceDbContext>(c =>
    {
        c.UseSqlServer(b =>
        {
            b.MigrationsHistoryTable("__MyService_Migrations", MyServiceDbProperties.DbSchema);
        });
    });

    // This is the key line that fixed the error:
    options.UseSqlServer(); // applies to all other DbContexts without explicit config
});

This makes all unconfigured DbContexts (Identity, PermissionManagement, etc.) use SQL Server.

Option B – Configure each module DbContext explicitly

If you don’t want a global default, you can instead configure the specific module DbContexts:

Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(options =>
{
    options.Configure<MyServiceDbContext>(c =>
    {
        c.UseSqlServer(b =>
        {
            b.MigrationsHistoryTable("__MyService_Migrations", MyServiceDbProperties.DbSchema);
        });
    });

    // Example: if you needed to configure a module DbContext explicitly
    options.Configure<AbpAuditLoggingDbContext>(c =>
    {
        c.UseSqlServer();
    });

    // same idea would apply for IdentityDbContext, PermissionManagementDbContext, etc.
});

In that ticket, adding options.UseSqlServer(); (Option A) is what actually fixed the “No configuration found” activation error for IdentityDbContext.

You can apply the same approach in your WebJob / microservice host:

  • Put this Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(...) in the relevant EFCore module (e.g. YourServiceEntityFrameworkCoreModule used by that host).
  • Ensure the host module [DependsOn] that EFCore module so this configuration runs in that process.

  1. Solution
  • The Text Template Management UI (text-template-management/text-templates) does not create new template definitions.
    It only lets you edit / localize the contents of templates that are already defined in your application.

  • To have a template show up on that page, you must first define it in code using a TemplateDefinitionProvider.
    After that, the template will appear in the UI and you can manage its content there (per tenant, per culture, etc.).

Step‑by‑step: define a new template that appears in the UI

  1. Create a template definition provider in your domain (or application) layer:
using Volo.Abp.TextTemplating;

   public class MyTemplateDefinitionProvider : TemplateDefinitionProvider
   {
       public override void Define(ITemplateDefinitionContext context)
       {
           context.Add(
               new TemplateDefinition(
                   "MyApp.MyCustomEmail",                  // Template name (key)
                   displayName: "My Custom Email",        // What you see on the UI
                   layout: StandardEmailTemplates.Message // Optional: use standard email layout
               )
               .WithDefaultCulture("en")                  // Optional
           );
       }
   }
  1. Ensure the assembly that contains MyTemplateDefinitionProvider is loaded by an ABP module (normally it is if it’s in your main project).

  2. Run the app and navigate to
    /text-template-management/text-templates.
    You should now see “My Custom Email” in the list. From there you can:

    • Edit the template content (HTML/text),
    • Localize it per language,
    • Override it per tenant.

Summary

  • No: You cannot create a brand‑new text template definition purely from the Text Template Management page.
  • Yes: You can create the definition in code (once), and then maintain its content entirely from the UI afterwards.

Need cause: dynamic proxy uses api-definition metadata which is based on application service interfaces in Application.Contracts and their conventional HTTP API controllers in HttpApi layer. In question, they say they also created custom HttpApi controller. Key: dynamic C# proxies map method by interface & conventions; custom controllers are supported if they implement same interface & RemoteService attribute etc. But error says could not find remote action for method GetAllAsync on base URL root: that usually means this method is not in api-definition JSON of that remote service name. Reasons: service is not in Application.Contracts assembly registered in AddHttpClientProxies; RemoteServiceName mismatch; wrong remote service in client; area/route mismatch vs conventions? But api-definition is what proxy inspects. api-definition includes all controllers with [RemoteService] or implementing IApplicationService? Need more specific: in ABP 10 api-definition by default only for controllers derived from AbpController and that has [RemoteService] or implements IApplicationService or is conventional for app services. If he added HttpApi controller but removed app service from RemoteService(true)? He says app service method exists and controller. In stack they say request reaches controller before exception and exception after execution – interesting: probably dynamic proxy invoking api-definition first time, caching; but he made manual call elsewhere? Might be mixing: JS proxy works through api-definition at /api/abp/api-definition? they said it fails as well. Another thought: method is parameterless GetAllAsync returning List<TeamMemberDto>. But their controller route is GET /api/app/user-detail-info/all. Conventional naming for app service GetListAsync maps to GET /api/app/user-detail-infos; paramless GetAllAsync would map to GET /api/app/user-detail-info/team-members ? Unsure. Dynamic proxy uses method signature to find ApiDescription (HTTP method, route template, parameters). It might not match because controller action signature differs: e.g. controller action name AllAsync, or different return type, or missing Async suffix. They say controller endpoint is GET /all, but app service method GetAllAsync likely exposed conventionally as GET /all as well only if controller is for app service. However they already have custom controller with [Route("api/app/user-detail-info")] and action [HttpGet("all")] matching Task<List<TeamMemberDto>> GetAllAsync(). For dynamic proxy, what matters is interface IBlaAppService in contracts, and HttpApi.Host exposes implementation via controller that implements interface or uses [RemoteService] and [Route] etc; but crucial: api-definition groups by remote service name; custom controller's RemoteServiceName must match 'Default' or used name. They only have [RemoteService] with no RemoteServiceName, so default 'Default'. On client side, they configured AddHttpClientProxies(typeof(AppContracts).Assembly, "Public") maybe; mismatch leads to not matching. However then none of methods of that service would work; but they say other methods maybe ok? Not specified.

Need URLs: dynamic client docs and /api-definition docs. Use UrlCheckManyAsync.

1. Solution

ABP’s dynamic HTTP client proxy does not look at “any endpoint that exists”.
It only works for methods that it can map from your service interface to an entry in /api/abp/api-definition for the same remote service name, same interface, and same method signature.

Your symptoms mean:

  • /api/app/user-detail-info/all exists and is callable directly ✔
  • But GetAllAsync is not present (or not compatible) in /api/abp/api-definition for the service/interface the proxy is using ❌
  • Therefore ApiDescriptionFinder throws: “Could not find remote action for method … GetAllAsync() …”

Below is a checklist that fixes this for your scenario and answers your questions.


A. Make sure the controller action is “discoverable” for dynamic proxies

  1. Controller must implement the same application service interface

If your application service interface is:

public interface IUserDetailInfoAppService : IApplicationService
{
    Task<List<TeamMemberDto>> GetAllAsync();
}

then your HttpApi controller should look like:

[RemoteService] // or [RemoteService(Name = "Default")] if you use a different name
[Area("app")]
[Route("api/app/user-detail-info")]
public class UserDetailInfoController 
    : AbpController, IUserDetailInfoAppService
{
    private readonly IUserDetailInfoAppService _appService;

    public UserDetailInfoController(IUserDetailInfoAppService appService)
    {
        _appService = appService;
    }

    [HttpGet]
    [Route("all")]
    public Task<List<TeamMemberDto>> GetAllAsync()
    {
        return _appService.GetAllAsync();
    }
}

Key point:
Dynamic proxies map using the interface type + method signature. If the controller does not implement the same interface that your client is using, ABP cannot match it in api-definition.


  1. Method name and signature must match

The client proxy is created for Task<List<TeamMemberDto>> GetAllAsync().

Your controller action must have exactly:

public Task<List<TeamMemberDto>> GetAllAsync()

Changes such as:

  • Different return type (e.g. IActionResult, List<TeamMemberDto>, etc.)
  • Different name (e.g. GetAll, GetAllTeamMembersAsync)
  • Different parameters

will cause ApiDescriptionFinder to consider it a different method and fail.


  1. Method must not be disabled with [RemoteService(false)] anywhere

You already checked this, but confirm that:

  • The interface method is not decorated with [RemoteService(false)]
  • The application service implementation class is not decorated with [RemoteService(false)]

If any of these exist, the method is excluded from the generated API definition.


  1. Remote service name must be consistent

Dynamic proxies in your client web app are registered with something like:

context.Services.AddHttpClientProxies(
    typeof(MillennialApplicationContractsModule).Assembly,
    "Default"  // or another name
);

On the server side:

  • If you use [RemoteService] with no name, the service is exposed under "Default".
  • If you use [RemoteService(Name = "Public")] (or something else), then your client must also use that same remote service name when registering AddHttpClientProxies.

So, check:

  • The RemoteService attribute on UserDetailInfoController and/or on IUserDetailInfoAppService / UserDetailInfoAppService.
  • The remote service name supplied to AddHttpClientProxies in your PublicWeb module.

If they are different, the dynamic proxy looks at the wrong set of actions in /api/abp/api-definition and cannot find GetAllAsync.


  1. The interface assembly must be the one you register for proxies

Make sure IUserDetailInfoAppService is in the Application.Contracts project that you pass to AddHttpClientProxies:

context.Services.AddHttpClientProxies(
    typeof(MillennialApplicationContractsModule).Assembly,
    "Default"
);

If the interface lives in some other assembly and that assembly is not passed into AddHttpClientProxies, ABP will generate a proxy for a different type (or none), so it won’t match.


  1. Verify that the method actually appears in /api/abp/api-definition

From a browser, while HttpApi.Host is running, open:

  • https://localhost:44364/api/abp/api-definition?includeTypes=true

Then search the JSON for:

  • "UserDetailInfo" or controller name
  • "TeamMemberDto"
  • "GetAllAsync"

If GetAllAsync (or the corresponding action) is not present there, dynamic proxy can never work. Then:

  • Re-check points 1–5 above.
  • Do a Clean + Rebuild of the whole solution after changes.
  • Restart both HttpApi.Host and PublicWeb.

B. Answers to your specific questions

Under what conditions does ABP dynamic proxy fail to match an existing HttpApi controller action?

It fails when any of these is true:

  • The controller action is not present (or not compatible) in /api/abp/api-definition for the target remote service.
  • The controller does not implement the same application service interface used by the client proxy.
  • The method name/parameters/return type differ between interface and controller action.
  • The service/method is disabled by [RemoteService(false)].
  • The action belongs to a different remote service name than the one the client uses.
  • The interface assembly is not registered with AddHttpClientProxies.

Is it required that the method be exposed via conventional controllers only, even if a custom controller exists?

No. You can use custom HttpApi controllers, but for dynamic C# proxies they must still:

  • Be marked or inferred as [RemoteService], and
  • Implement the same interface,
  • With matching method signatures.

Can dynamic proxy resolve methods that are exposed via custom HttpApi controllers?

Yes, as long as they satisfy the conditions above and appear correctly in /api/abp/api-definition for the relevant remote service name.


Is this a known limitation or expected behavior?

It is expected behavior: dynamic proxies are contract-based, not “URL-based”.
They don’t scan “whatever routes exist”; they only use metadata from api-definition that is produced from application service contracts & [RemoteService] controllers.


If you align:

  • IUserDetailInfoAppService (in Application.Contracts),
  • UserDetailInfoController (implementing that interface, [RemoteService], correct route),
  • Remote service name ("Default" vs custom),
  • And verify GetAllAsync is visible in /api/abp/api-definition,

then the dynamic proxy call to GetAllAsync from your PublicWeb project will work.

  1. Solution
  • There is no publicly published list of all ABP Studio installers (with direct download links) at the moment.
  • What you can rely on today is:
    • The version mapping page, to see which Studio version maps to which ABP version.
    • Specific direct download URLs for versions that the team exposes on the feed (like 1.4.2).

1. Get ABP Studio 1.4.2

For ABP Studio 1.4.2, the correct Windows installer package is:

https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-1.4.2-stable-full.nupkg

You can:

  1. Download that file.
  2. Place it under:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\abp-studio\packages\
  1. Run (from PowerShell):
$installdir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\abp-studio"
   $updateExe = Join-Path $installdir "Update.exe"
   $package = Join-Path $installdir "packages\abp-studio-1.4.2-stable-full.nupkg"

   & $updateExe apply --package $package

This will “roll back” / switch your local ABP Studio to 1.4.2.

Note: Your earlier attempts with -beta and -release fail because those packages are not present on the feed. For 1.4.2 you must use the -stable channel.


2. How to find the right Studio version for a given ABP version

To decide which Studio version you need for a specific ABP version (e.g. 9.3.7):

  • Use the official version mapping documentation:

    • https://abp.io/docs/latest/studio/version-mapping

That page tells you:

  • Which ABP Studio version maps to which ABP template version.
  • For example, it shows that Studio 1.4.2 maps to ABP 9.3.6 (and that there is no separate “9.3.7 Studio” – latest Studio will use 10.0.x).

Once you know the Studio version, you can:

  • Ask support (as in the referenced Q&As) or
  • Try a URL with the correct {version}-{channel}-full.nupkg pattern:
https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-{version}-{channel}-full.nupkg

…where {channel} is typically stable for released builds like 1.4.2.


3. About a full list of all Studio installers

Currently:

  • There is no official, browsable catalog of all ABP Studio .nupkg installers exposed publicly.
  • The practical workflow is:
    1. Look up the desired ABP version → Studio version using the version mapping page.
    2. Use or request the corresponding direct download URL (like the 1.4.2-stable URL above).
    3. Apply the package via Update.exe as shown.

If you need regular switching between multiple versions, you can keep multiple downloaded .nupkg files and write a small PowerShell script that just swaps $version and $channel and calls Update.exe apply --package ....

1. Solution

The exception comes from AspNetCore.Diagnostics.HealthChecks UI using an EF Core version that doesn’t match your application’s EF Core (used by ABP 10).

HealthChecks.UI v9.x targets a newer EF Core (where AbstractionsStrings.ArgumentIsEmpty exists).
Your ABP 10.0.2 solution runs on EF Core 8, where that method does not exist, so you get:

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics.AbstractionsStrings.ArgumentIsEmpty(System.Object)'

Concretely, the error is thrown when AddInMemoryStorage() configures UseInMemoryDatabase.

Fix it by aligning the HealthChecks.UI packages to the EF Core version used by ABP:

  1. Find the HealthChecks packages in your solution (usually in your Web/Host project):

    Look in your .csproj for lines like:

<PackageReference Include="AspNetCore.HealthChecks.UI" Version="9.0.0" />
   <PackageReference Include="AspNetCore.HealthChecks.UI.InMemory.Storage" Version="9.0.0" />
   <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory" Version="9.0.0-preview.*" />
  1. Downgrade them to the EF Core 8–compatible versions (match EF Core 8 used by ABP 10):

    Example:

<ItemGroup>
     <!-- HealthChecks UI packages compatible with EF Core 8 -->
     <PackageReference Include="AspNetCore.HealthChecks.UI" Version="8.0.1" />
     <PackageReference Include="AspNetCore.HealthChecks.UI.InMemory.Storage" Version="8.0.1" />

     <!-- Make sure ALL EF Core packages are 8.x and consistent -->
     <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="8.0.0" />
     <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer" Version="8.0.0" />
     <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory" Version="8.0.0" />
   </ItemGroup>

Adjust the exact version numbers to what your solution uses (8.0.*), but everything must be on 8.x, not 9.x/preview.

  1. Remove any stray EF Core 9/preview references:

    Search all projects for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore references and ensure there is no 9.x or preview package left (especially InMemory).

  2. Clean & rebuild:

    • Delete bin and obj folders of affected projects.
    • Run a full restore/build.
    • Run the application again; the health check UI should start without the MissingMethodException.
  3. (Optional) Use SQL storage instead of in-memory if you prefer:

    In your health check registration (typically in the Web/Host module), instead of:

services
       .AddHealthChecksUI()
       .AddInMemoryStorage();

you can use (for example):

services
       .AddHealthChecksUI()
       .AddSqlServerStorage(configuration.GetConnectionString("Default"));

Just be sure the storage provider package version also matches EF Core 8.

Once all HealthChecks.UI and EF Core packages are aligned on 8.x, the AbstractionsStrings.ArgumentIsEmpty MissingMethodException will disappear and your project will run.

  1. Solution

In your WebJob you are essentially missing a proper EF Core configuration for the ABP module DbContexts (like PermissionManagementDbContext). The error:

No configuration found for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext … Use services.Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(...) to configure it.

means that no AbpDbContextOptions configuration has been applied for that DbContext type in this host.

A good pattern for a WebJob / worker that uses multiple DbContexts is:

  • Do not re‑register or reconfigure DbContexts that are already registered in your module’s EFCore modules.
  • Depend on your application’s main EF Core module, which already configures SQL Server and the module DbContexts (including PermissionManagement).
  • Only add configuration for your extra DbContext if it is not already configured in its own *EntityFrameworkCoreModule.

1.1. Module dependencies

Instead of configuring EF Core manually in MyWebJobModule, reuse the same EFCore module configuration that your main application uses.

Assume your main EFCore module is MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule (the one in your .EntityFrameworkCore project that calls options.UseSqlServer()).

Update your WebJob module like this:

[DependsOn(
    typeof(AbpAutofacModule),
    typeof(AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqlServerModule),
    typeof(MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule),           // <-- main app EF Core module
    typeof(CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule), // <-- your custom module
    typeof(AbpPermissionManagementEntityFrameworkCoreModule)
)]
public class MyWebJobModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        // Typically NOTHING else needs to be done here for EF Core.
        // MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule & CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule
        // already register and configure their DbContexts.
    }
}

Key points:

  • AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqlServerModule supplies the provider integration.
  • MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule configures AbpDbContextOptions (global UseSqlServer() and module DbContexts like PermissionManagement, etc.).
  • CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule should already call AddAbpDbContext<CommunicationsDbContext> and configure SQL Server for that DbContext.

When you depend on those, all their PreConfigureServices / ConfigureServices methods run in the WebJob host as well, so all module DbContexts get their provider configuration.


1.2. Remove local, conflicting EF configuration

In your current MyWebJobModule you have:

public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
    context.Services.AddAbpDbContext<CommunicationsDbContext>(options => {
        options.AddDefaultRepositories(includeAllEntities: true);
    });

    Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(options => {
        options.Configure<CommunicationsDbContext>(opts => {
            opts.UseSqlServer(); 
        });
        options.Configure(opts => {
            opts.UseSqlServer();
        });
    });
}

This is problematic in a couple of ways:

  1. Duplicated registration:
    If CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule already calls AddAbpDbContext<CommunicationsDbContext>, registering it again in the WebJob module is unnecessary and can cause confusion.

  2. Global options.Configure(opts => opts.UseSqlServer());:
    This configures the default EF Core options, but if any other module (e.g. a different database provider, or mis‑ordered configuration) overwrites or doesn’t see it, you end up with “No configuration found…” for some DbContexts.

The safest and cleanest fix is:

  • Remove the AddAbpDbContext<CommunicationsDbContext> call from MyWebJobModule.
  • Remove the Configure<AbpDbContextOptions> block entirely from MyWebJobModule.
  • Let MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule and CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule be the only places that configure DbContexts & providers.

Your WebJob module becomes:

[DependsOn(
    typeof(AbpAutofacModule),
    typeof(AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqlServerModule),
    typeof(MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule),
    typeof(CommunicationsEntityFrameworkCoreModule),
    typeof(AbpPermissionManagementEntityFrameworkCoreModule)
)]
public class MyWebJobModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        // No EF Core configuration here.
    }
}

1.3. Connection strings for multiple databases

Your existing setup with:

[ConnectionStringName("Communications")]
public class CommunicationsDbContext : AbpDbContext<CommunicationsDbContext>, ICommunicationsDbContext 
{
    // ...
}

and

"ConnectionStrings": {
  "Default": "...",
  "Communications": "..."
}

is exactly the correct ABP way to bind a specific DbContext to a named connection string in a multi‑database scenario.

No extra AbpDbConnectionOptions configuration is needed here, because:

  • ConnectionStringName("Communications") tells ABP to use the Communications named connection string for this DbContext.
  • All module/system DbContexts (including PermissionManagementDbContext) will use "Default" unless otherwise specified.

Once you fix the module dependencies & remove redundant configuration as above, both Default and Communications DbContexts will work inside your WebJob.


1.4. Autofac / .NET 9 considerations

There is nothing special you must do for Autofac or .NET 9 beyond:

  • Using UseServiceProviderFactory(new AutofacServiceProviderFactory()) and UseAutofac() in your WebJob host builder.
  • Ensuring you call AbpApplicationFactory.Create<MyWebJobModule>(...) (or similar) so ABP modules are initialized in this process.

If your WebJob uses the standard ABP + Autofac host setup, ABP’s EF Core integration will behave the same as in your web app.
