UsePathBase being ignored

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

UsePathBase seems to get ignored. I’m not sure what the condition is. In my other project, it works with the Swagger endpoints, but not with the controllers. In this repro, it works with neither. In both cases, it’s the first call I make after I build the app.

To Reproduce

  • Create a new Web API project
  • Call app.UsePathBase() immediately after var app = builder.Build()
  • Run the project, open root (non-UsePathBase) URL in browser

I hit this today and I couldn’t find it documented anywhere yet. Is there an issue tracking this for the docs? I tried looking at the Minimal APIs page and any page referencing PathBase

I submitted a docs PR at https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/pull/25769 to add notes mentioning the need to call UseRouting() where we mention UsePathBase. Hopefully we can remove these notes in .NET 7 once we fix this issue.

I think an analyzer is a good idea here. FWIW, you should be able to just add .UseRouting() without .UseEndpoints() to change where the route matching happens.
