Issue Title
services.AddControllers().AddNewtonsoftJson() doesn't seem to override System.Text.Json
General
I tried to upgrade a WebAPI project from dotnetcore 2.2 to version 3 but I'm facing some issues with Json serialization.
Using version 3.0.100-preview8-013656, I tried to override System.Text.Json by adding this to ConfigureServices
services.AddControllers().AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
{
options.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new StringEnumConverter(new CamelCaseNamingStrategy()));
options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
});
Some of my controller endpoints fail with a HTTP500 error because of some circular references that should have been prevented by the [JsonIgnore] attribute. The error is the following :
System.Text.Json.JsonException: CurrentDepth (32) is equal to or larger than the maximum allowed depth of 32.
As you can see, the error comes from System.Text.Json.JsonException which I suspect means that Newtonsoft.Json isn't used by the controller to serialize the response.
I use ModelMetadataType to add [JsonIgnore] to some attributes like this. I even tried adding System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonIgnore to the property but without any result.
[ModelMetadataType(typeof(ISomeEntityClassMetadata))]
public partial class SomeEntityClass : ISomeEntityClassMetadata
{
}
public interface ISomeEntityClassMetadata
{
[System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonIgnore]
[JsonIgnore]
SomeOtherEntityClass SomeOtherEntityNavigation { get; set; }
}
