c# - swagger-ui returns 500 after deployment

Question

Out of the box configuration works perfectly on my machine, no problems at all.

But when I deploy to our test environment - I get the following message

500 : { "Message": "An error has occurred." } /api/swagger/docs/v1

The deployment is to default web site/api

Im guessing it has something to do with the baseUrl or something like that, but I have no idea of even where to begin.

My routes work fine within the project - I can call all my webapi endpoints and they respond correctly.

any help would be much appreciated

When debugging I was using the debug config (Which I had generated XmlComments for: Properties -> build tab -> Output -> XML Documentation File)

I had not done this for my release configuration (duh...) - now everything works
