Issues you may face while running the Application

1. Package errors because of the path of the project being too long.

• Solution: Make sure the path to the project is short. Clean and build the solution and run.

2. Issue when running the api, you may face an issue that says Could not find a part of the path … bin\roslyn\csc.exe

• Solution: The Roslyn compiler comes from a NuGet package and there is/was a bug in some versions of that package.The solution is to reinstall/upgrade that package to a bug-free version. Run the following command in the Package Manager Console:Update-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform -r. Then clean and build the project before running.
