can't I add a resource to the Application?

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I’m trying to add my own ViewModelLocator that I have for years and for that I need to add in App.xaml the code:

<Application.Resources>
    <local:Locator x:key="locator" />
</Application.Resources>

and I’m getting the error: /home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/App.xaml(12,10,12,10): Avalonia error XAMLIL: Unable to find suitable setter or adder for property Resources of type Avalonia.Controls:Avalonia.Application for argument myAvaloniaApp:myAvaloniaApp.Locator, available setter parameter lists are: [/home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/myAvaloniaApp.csproj] /home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/App.xaml(12,10,12,10): Avalonia error XAMLIL: Avalonia.Controls.IResourceDictionary [/home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/myAvaloniaApp.csproj] /home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/App.xaml(12,10,12,10): Avalonia error XAMLIL: System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair2<System.Object,System.Object> [/home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/myAvaloniaApp.csproj] /home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/App.xaml(12,10,12,10): Avalonia error XAMLIL: System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair2<TKey,TValue> (line 12 position 10) Line 12, position 10. [/home/esqueleto/myWork/myAvaloniaApp/myAvaloniaApp.csproj]

you can see the code and the compilation error here: https://github.com/aboimpinto/myAvaloniaApp/pull/1/checks?check_run_id=1185181198

Is there anything that I’m doing wrong?

@derekantrican had same issue with missing “x:Key” - https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/1020#issuecomment-701097462 I think this error message should also include possible solution of the problem, specifically in the “Resources” case.

x:key - should be x:Key.
