Problem with GetConfigurationOrDefault Method in Okta

[pancholi24-usi]

Describe the bug?

I’m experiencing a similar issue to what is discussed in
(https://devforum.okta.com/t/getconfigurationordefault-throwing-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object/28968).

The Okta.AspNetCore version that I am on is 4.6.1

Here’s the piece of code I have to get user details. While I do receive the user details, I also encounter the above exception, which seems to bypass but still gives me the result.

var oktaConfig = new Configuration()
{
Token = configuration[“OktaToken”],
OktaDomain = configuration[“OktaDomain”],
};

UserApi = new UserApi(oktaConfig);
var user = UserApi.GetUserAsync(“[email protected]”).Result;
var name = user.Profile.DisplayName;

Has anyone found a solution for this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

What is expected to happen?

Call the OKTA API without any error

What is the actual behavior?

When I run the solution, Visual Studio breaks at the GetAllProperties() method inside ConfigurationBinder.cs because type is null. I can continue through the errors and it will eventually run, however I’m not sure if the results are accurate.

System.NullReferenceException
HResult=0x80004003
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source=Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBinder.GetAllProperties(Type type) in /_/src/libraries/Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder/src/ConfigurationBinder.cs:line 654

Furthermore, the calling line in the OKTA SDK is Okta.Sdk.Client.Configuration.cs, Line 594, GetConfigurationOrDefault().
That line reads:
configurationBuilder.Build().GetSection("okta").GetSection("client") .Bind(configuration);

The line that calls that is line 39 in Okta.Sdk.Api.UserApi():
configuration = Okta.Sdk.Client.Configuration.GetConfigurationOrDefault(configuration);
