Upgrading nuget package "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation" from 6.0.0 to 7.0.0 causes unwanted errors to be shown in api logging.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

i have my microservice built on .Net 6 and clean architecture, recently i was upgrading the nuget dependencies and upgraded the package “Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation” from v6.0.0 to 7.0.0 , it caused unwanted error logs to appear in my logging, i use Nlog for file and console logging, I ignored Microsoft.* logs from writing to my file. but this error somehow escape the exception i added. below is my NLog rules config.

"rules": [
  {
    "logger": "*",
    "minLevel": "Info",
    "writeTo": "logconsole"
  },
  {
    "logger": "Microsoft.*",
    "maxlevel": "Info",
    "final": true
  },
  {
    "logger": "*",
    "minLevel": "Trace",
    "writeTo": "TraceLogEnhanced"
  },
  {
    "logger": "*",
    "minLevel": "Error",
    "writeTo": "dbTarget"
  },
  {
    "logger": "*",
    "minLevel": "Error",
    "writeTo": "ExceptionMail"
  }
]

}

Now below is the error that is written to my logging file and console. i downgraded the package and this error went away. Could be something to do with Tree trimming implemented in Keyderdivation as i can see from the PR’s in aspcore repo.

The Error.

Expected Behavior

the error should not appear as i have added NLog rules to filter out Microsoft error logs from writing to my app log.

Steps To Reproduce

use the package “Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation” in asp.net core api application targetting .Net 6.

Exceptions (if any)

No response

.NET Version

6.0.11

Anything else?

JWTBearer has its own 7.0 version, that should not be blocking you. But yes, you can’t use 7.0 nuget packages against the 6.0 runtime, or vice versa. Everything must match.

[bonyjose]

I don’t think using the 7.0.* packages in a 6.0.* app is supported.

You need to either change to target net7.0 or downgrade your packages back to the latest minor version(s) for 6.0.* (which I think this month is 6.0.11).

Thanks for the reply, I did see that some nuget packages have a restriction implemented for .Net 6 projects , an example is "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer " which restrict me from installing the version 7.0.0 in my project, but this particular one has no errors and let me update the package. I hope MS will implement some locking for unsupported packages bacause most people i know simply update the Nuget to the latest version available.
