Solution for weirdly long asp.net API startup (aussie.zone)

I didn't find this anywhere convenient when I was troubleshooting so I thought I'd post this here.

We have some large projects with a lot of dependency injection, and it was taking up to a minute to start a local dev API. After a lot of troubleshooting we found it was the dependency injection validation, which is optional and disabled in production - you can turn it off using:

webBuilder.UseDefaultServiceProvider(o =>
{
  o.ValidateScopes = true;
  o.ValidateOnBuild = false;
});

in the ConfigureWebHostDefaults() section, before the webBuilder.UseStartup() call. (I'm pretty sure this is the default template but it's been a while since I set it up..)

Saves around 50 seconds when waiting for a local API to start - obviously you don't get nice messages if you've created an issue with your dependencies so be aware of that.

I'd probably also explicitly disable ValidateScopes when it's not a dev environment but that has a lower performance impact.

yeah, our unit tests def won't pass if we have a dependency loop so it's a waste of time checking every build.

it was crazy how difficult it was to find info on the setting and the right place to set it, considering the impact it was having.
