Compiler Error ASPIREEXPORT001

Version introduced: 13.2

Method '0' marked with [AspireExport] must be static.

This diagnostic error is reported when a method decorated with the [AspireExport] attribute is not declared as static. Methods exported to other language runtimes via the Aspire Type Specification (ATS) must be static because they are invoked by the ATS runtime without an object instance.

Example

The following code generates ASPIREEXPORT001:

C# — Integration.cs

[AspireExport("addRedis")]
public IResourceBuilder<RedisResource> AddRedis(
    IResourceBuilder<IResourceWithEnvironment> builder)
{
    return builder.WithReference(...);
}

To correct this error

Add the static modifier to the method:

C# — Integration.cs

[AspireExport("addRedis")]
public static IResourceBuilder<RedisResource> AddRedis(
    IResourceBuilder<IResourceWithEnvironment> builder)
{
    return builder.WithReference(...);
}
