swagger.json paths and definitions are empty. No operations defined in spec

Question

I am developing a .netcore web application. I am using of swagger and I've made all the necessary adjustments. Unfortunately it does not work and I just see No operations defined in spec! in the swagger output page.

The swagger file with /swagger/v1/swagger.json has the following content:

{
  "swagger": "2.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "v1",
    "title": "Something"
  },
  "paths": {},
  "definitions": {}
}

I want to see my controllers and their actions in swagger output page.

Answer 1

after some research i was found that my problem was about using swagger along with OData in .NetCore2.1. i found a solution for this problem.

first i added two following Nuget packages:

Swashbuckle.AspNetCore
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Annotations

then, i added following codes in Startup.cs

services.AddMvc(options => {
                foreach (var outputFormatter in 
options.OutputFormatters.OfType<ODataOutputFormatter>().Where(_ => 
_.SupportedMediaTypes.Count == 0))
                {
                    outputFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new 
MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/prs.odatatestxx-odata"));
                }
                foreach (var inputFormatter in 
options.InputFormatters.OfType<ODataInputFormatter>().Where(_ => 
_.SupportedMediaTypes.Count == 0))
                {
                    inputFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new 
MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/prs.odatatestxx-odata"));
                }
            }).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);

the, i added following code line in controllers:

[ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = false)] 

please note that it was worked for me but it may be need more research for eventually side effects
