ElasticsearchClientProductRegistration ArgumentNullException

[Mahdi-Abbasi-2001]

Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch version:9.0.0

Elasticsearch version:9.0.2

.NET runtime version:7.0.101

Operating system version:10.0.19045

Description of the problem:
I am trying to connect to the elasticsearch .net client in my asp.net mvc nopcommerce project.
this is my code:
namespace Nop.Services.Elasticsearch
{
public sealed class ElasticSeachConfiguration
{
private static readonly Lazy LazyClient = new Lazy(CreateClient);

    public static ElasticsearchClient ESContext => LazyClient.Value;

    private const string Username = "user";
    private const string Password = "pass";
    // private const string Fingerprint = "<YOUR_CA_FINGERPRINT>"; // optional

    private static ElasticsearchClient CreateClient()
    {
        var connectionString = LoadConnection();

        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(connectionString))
            throw new InvalidOperationException("Elasticsearch connection string is missing or invalid in App_Data/ElasticSettings.txt");

        Uri nodeUri;
        try
        {
            nodeUri = new Uri(connectionString);
        }
        catch (UriFormatException ex)
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException("Invalid Elasticsearch URI format in ElasticSettings.txt", ex);
        }

        var pool = new SingleNodePool(nodeUri);

        var settings = new ElasticsearchClientSettings(pool)
            .Authentication(new BasicAuthentication(Username, Password))
            .CertificateFingerprint("<YOUR_CA_FINGERPRINT>")
            .EnableDebugMode();

        return new ElasticsearchClient(settings);
    }

    static void ConfigureOptions(JsonSerializerOptions o)
    {
        o.PropertyNamingPolicy = null;
    }

    private static string LoadConnection()
    {
        var filePath = Path.Combine(MapPath("~/App_Data/"), "ElasticSettings.txt");

        if (!File.Exists(filePath))
            throw new FileNotFoundException("Elasticsearch connection config not found at: " + filePath);

        var text = File.ReadAllText(filePath).Trim();
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text))
            throw new InvalidOperationException("ElasticSettings.txt is empty or contains only whitespace.");

        return text;
    }

    private static string MapPath(string path)
    {
        if (HostingEnvironment.IsHosted)
            return HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path);

        var baseDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
        path = path.Replace("~/", "").TrimStart('/').Replace('/', '\\');
        return Path.Combine(baseDir, path);
    }

    private ElasticSeachConfiguration() { }
}

}

but i get the following error:
System.TypeInitializationException
HResult=0x80131534
Message=The type initializer for 'Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch.ElasticsearchClientProductRegistration' threw an exception.

Inner Exception 1:
ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: input

In the previous verison(v8.x) of the client I never experienced such an issue.

Hi @Mahdi-Abbasi-2001 , is there a callstack for the inner exception?

I think this might be related to static initialization order. Btw.: Is it intended that your ElasticSeachConfiguration class is not static itself? Do you instantiate it somewhere?

[Mahdi-Abbasi-2001]

This is the call stack for inner exception:

at System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(String input)
at Elastic.Transport.Extensions.SemVersion.TryParse(String input, SemVersion& version)
at Elastic.Transport.RuntimeVersionInfo.GetRuntimeVersion()
at Elastic.Transport.MetaDataHeader..ctor(VersionInfo version, String serviceIdentifier, Boolean isAsync)
at Elastic.Transport.DefaultMetaHeaderProducer..ctor(VersionInfo versionInfo, String serviceIdentifier)
at Elastic.Transport.DefaultMetaHeaderProvider..ctor(VersionInfo versionInfo, String serviceIdentifier)
at Elastic.Transport.Products.Elasticsearch.ElasticsearchProductRegistration..ctor(Type markerType)
at Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch.ElasticsearchClientProductRegistration..cctor()

Also I am using the ElasticSeachConfiguration class like this:

using Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch;
using Nop.Services.Elasticsearch;
using System.Net;

namespace Nop.Services.ElasticsearchService
{
    public class ConnectToElasticService : IConnectToElasticService
    {
        public ElasticsearchClient EsClient()
        {
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

            return ElasticSeachConfiguration.ESContext;
        }
    }
}

Thanks @Mahdi-Abbasi-2001 , this gives me a clue.

It seems like this function is not able to determine the runtime version:

Thank you @flobernd for your time and effort and I'll be looking forward to any updates on this issue. I have developed this project based on nopCommerce 3.70. To test this issue, I tried it in several other non-nopCommerce projects as well, and there was no problem in those cases.
