The type initializer for 'Humanizer.Configuration.Configurator' threw an exception.

I am using the Humanizer.core in .NET Core 6 RC1 in Blazor WASM App.

This is what is throwing error in .razor page.
@searchResult.AlerSentTime?.Humanize(culture:CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Hi,
receive same error on console application net6.0

Hi,

I got the above error after migrating my NET 5 application to NET 6. I was not explicitly setting the Globalization configuration setting in the runtimeconfig.json or Project file. Upon further reading I discovered this might have something to do with the following breaking change, Culture creation and case mapping in globalization-invariant mode. I don't happen to experience this issue when developing locally, however, once I deploy using the Alpine docker image. The documentation does explicitly mention

Globalization-invariant mode is enabled by default on some Docker containers, for example, Alpine containers.

In my code, I create a custom type that implements ICollectionFormatter. I was adding this to the Configurator CollectionFormatters, as such.

Humanizer.Configuration.Configurator.CollectionFormatters.Register("en", new CustomFormatter("and"));

The fix was to disable InvariantGlobalization in the Project file, by setting InvariantGlobalization to false. Additionally, in my Dockerfile, shortly after I pull the Alpine image, I needed to install the ICU packages.

ARG AspNetVersion
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:${AspNetVersion} AS base
WORKDIR /app

...

RUN apk add --no-cache icu-libs

I found this article by Andrew Lock to be help!

I hope this helps!

I having the same issue. .NET 6 application using GlobalizationInvariantMode.

Is there any way to make this library work in such applications? In my case, it's not in my hands to disable GlobalizationInvariantMode. Thanks!

Same problem here, and I don't want to disable InvariantGlobalization.

[SimonCropp]

@sangeethnandakumar there is a PR. #1213
