Error Code
In Windows Event log, the following error is present:
Application: SourceCode.Configuration.Api.exe CoreCLR Version: 4.700.20.47201 .NET Core Version: 3.1.9 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.ArgumentException: The string argument 'connectionString' cannot be empty. at Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Utilities.Check.NotEmpty(String value, String parameterName)...Resolution
The issue could be caused by ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT Windows Environment Variables. This environment variable causes K2 Configuration service to look at incorrect config file(appsettings.Production.json). Removing this environment resolves the issue.
