Hello Guys,
I have one issue with WebApi routing. Please find the code snippet below-

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "reportsApi",
               routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/list/",
               defaults: new { reports = RouteParameter.Optional  }
           );

Earlier it was working just fine and there is no change in the code of report module and it stopped working after the deployment of another version. When i remove '/list' from 'https://whatever.com/api/report/list it works fine as expected.

Any idea? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Your routing isn't quite correct, largely because you're referencing a parameter that isn't there. If you include a default option, you should also have a placeholder in the template to match it:

For instance (based on the URL in your question):

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "reportsApi",
               routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{reports}/list/",
               defaults: new { reports = RouteParameter.Optional  }
           );

Looking at it, I'm not sure what the 'list' is doing for you in that particular route, but based on your URL I can only assume it's either ReportController.List(), or an acceptable id parameter for ReportController.Get(). My supposition is that it's using the default route when you change the address.

Hi
I agree with Nathan, in your routing you have mentioned reports as defaults but then why is not seen in the route template..

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "reportsApi",
               routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/list/",
               defaults: new { reports = RouteParameter.Optional  }
           );

Try adding reports to route template as below..

C#

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "reportsApi",
               routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{reports}/list/",
               defaults: new { reports = RouteParameter.Optional  }
           );

Hope this helps..
