Hey there,
I am using ASP.NET (Core) 8 Minimal Web API.
I have several endpoints that look like the following simple example:
public static async Task<IResult> GetFile()
{
FileStream fileStream1 = File.OpenRead("File.txt");
return Results.Stream(fileStream1, ContentType.TextPlain, "File.txt");
}
As you can see the object fileStream1 - which implements IDisposable - is not disposed.
This is because the method Results.Stream states that: "The stream parameter is disposed after the response is sent"
Also, I've tried disposing the stream but then when executing the endpoint the file cannot be read because it's a closed stream.
I've read online that you are not supposed to close the stream when giving it to Results.Stream, so that matches my results.
Same goes for Results.File.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.http.results?view=aspnetcore-8.0
I've added the analyzer and now get a IDISP001 warning everywhere to dispose of the stream, of course.
I could not find a good way to do this so I just used a #pragma warning disable for now but would like to know if there is a better option.
If there is no better option, would it be possible if the analyzer could recognize the usage of Results.Stream or Results.File (maybe others) in the future? I dislike adding that pragma. Of course, same with TypedResults.*.
These are the 3 options I have tried, but only the second one - fileStream2 - works, without disposing the stream directly.
await using FileStream fileStream1 = File.OpenRead("File.txt");
return Results.Stream(fileStream1, ContentType.TextPlain, "File.txt");
#pragma warning disable IDISP001
FileStream fileStream2 = File.OpenRead("File.txt");
#pragma warning restore IDISP001
return Results.Stream(fileStream2, ContentType.TextPlain, "File.txt");
await using FileStream fileStream3 = File.OpenRead("File.txt");
return Results.Stream(async stream => await fileStream3.CopyToAsync(stream), ContentType.TextPlain, "File.txt");
Note: In the third version fileStream3 it states that Captured variable is disposed in the outer scope, so that doesn't work either.
