I've successfully implemented the configuration for Azure Blob Storage as described in the official documentation. However, my question is more focused on the architectural design required to make this integration scalable and efficient across all modules of my solution.

Specifically, I'm looking to understand:

• What is the recommended architecture to fully integrate Azure Blob Storage with the file handling components generated by ABP Suite?
• Where in the code generated by ABP Suite (especially in Razor Pages and related file components) should I replace or extend the default logic to redirect file uploads from local database storage to Azure Blob Storage?
• Is it advisable to create a centralized service or abstraction layer to manage blob operations across modules? If so, what would be the best practice for implementing this in a modular and maintainable way?

The documentation provides a good starting point for configuring blob storage, but it doesn't clearly outline how to adapt the ABP Suite-generated file logic to use Azure Blob Storage as the primary storage backend.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or examples that clarify the best approach to achieve this integration in a clean and scalable manner.

Thank you!

Hi EngincanV,

Thanks so much for your prompt response—the workaround worked perfectly. The ABP team truly are experts!

To streamline development, I’m keeping customizations to a minimum and relying on built-in features whenever possible.

Could you please confirm the version in which this fix will be included, and proceed with refunding the credit for this support ticket?

Appreciate your help, and hope you have a great day!

Hi Support Team,

The A.I. answer above provided a reference to a similar situation but it is an 1 year more ticket on a older ABP version as below

Please provide an workaround to apply on my project as it is a BUG unfixed yet to help me move forward with this development.

Hi @m.aliozkaya, The workaround you suggested worked perfectly—thank you! I’ve also gone ahead and addressed similar issues in related child entities. Please keep me posted on when the definitive fix will be available. Once the bug is officially confirmed, I’d appreciate it if the credit consumed by this ticket could be reverted. Thanks a million for your continued support!

Nice! I will update the code on my end and try again, hopping this will fix it.

I'll let you know after my testing here.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi ! Thank you for assistance.

Can you please confirm the content of the profile file after I applied your suggestion just to let me know If I'm doing right ?

Hi @m.aliozkaya,

Thank you for your assistance.

Our solution is working correctly so far with three entities as you could confirm in the previos message:

Product (master entity)

PricingList (master entity)

PricingListItem (child entity linked to PricingList)

At this stage, the PricingListItem entity contains only two properties: Currency and Price. Everything runs smoothly up to this point.

I’ve now added a new commit to the branch, where I introduce a Navigation Property in the PricingListItem entity pointing to ProductId from the Product entity, using ABP Suite 9.2.0. You can check the latest commit on the branch for details.

Here’s what I did and what I observed:

Added the Navigation Property to PricingListItem (ProductId).

ABP Suite generated the updated code successfully.

Applied the migration successfully.

Ran DbMigrator without errors.

Reloaded the solution successfully.

The solution started launching the services.

However, after this change, the HttpApi.Host service hangs indefinitely when running in ABP Studio. As a consequence, the other dependent services also hang due to the unavailability of HttpApi.Host.

To investigate further, I stopped the service in ABP Studio and ran it manually from the terminal to check the logs (see attached screenshot for details).

Summary of modified files:

Could you please help me identify why introducing the Navigation Property causes the service to hang?

Thank you very much for your support!

Hi. Thank you! Just to remind, the solution was generated by ABP Tools, without any manual coding. I belive there is something missing on ABP Suite Templates.

Hi Muhammed Ali,

I just sent an invite to your github user. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks for the tip. There might have been some inconsistencies in the previous database indexes, so I deleted the test DB to allow DBMigrator to generate a fresh one in the next steps.

Restarting the simulation, I created a brand-new solution and followed the same steps up to the creation of the Child entity—without adding the Product navigation property. This was to test the newly generated database and application.

Everything worked fine: the application ran, and the CRUD operations generated by ABP Suite functioned correctly in the UI.

Next, I added a navigation property to the ProductListItem entity (referencing the Product entity as a foreign key) using ABP Suite, followed by generating a migration and running DBMigrator to update the database. Up to this point, all steps completed successfully—migrations applied and DB updated.

However, when running the solution via HTTP.API.Host in ABP Studio, it began to hang (with the red triangle alert).

So I switched to Terminal for more detailed logs, where I noticed some inconsistencies in the object mappers—possibly caused by a faulty template generated by ABP Suite 9.2.0.

Here is what I think is useful, maybe, for you to see the generated code when I applied the NavProperty into the Child entity.

Here is the list of files changed after the creation of NavProperties.

If you consider useful I can share with you the github containg a commit at the point where the NavProperty was added into the Child entity. It is a test solution created only for simulation, no sensitive information exists.
