Mismatched git hashes between loader and runtime. Loader: ${

Error message

Mismatched git hashes between loader and runtime. Loader: ${runtimeApi.runtimeBuildInfo.gitHash}, DOTNET_INTEROP: ${_ems_.DOTNET_INTEROP.gitHash}

What it means

Thrown by dotnetInitializeModule when the loader-reported gitHash (runtimeApi.runtimeBuildInfo.gitHash) differs from the gitHash baked into the native interop module (_ems_.DOTNET_INTEROP.gitHash). The two halves of the runtime must be from the same build; a mismatch can cause ABI/protocol corruption, so initialization is aborted.

Solutions

  1. Clean the publish/bin/wwwroot folder and republish from a single SDK so every runtime file matches.
  2. Bust the cache: append a version query string or update cache-control headers for runtime files.
  3. Confirm all runtime files come from the same NuGet package version (check locks/versions).
  4. The error prints both hashes; verify the loader hash matches the SDK you intend to ship.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

function assertMatchingGitHash(loaderHash: string, nativeHash: string) {
    if (loaderHash && nativeHash && loaderHash !== nativeHash) {
        throw new Error(`Loader/runtime git hash mismatch: ${loaderHash} vs ${nativeHash}`);
    }
}

Type guard

const gitHashesMatch = (a?: string, b?: string): boolean =>
    !a || !b || a === b;

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Serving dotnet.js from one build and dotnet.native.js / the interop library from another (e.g. CDN cached one file, local server served another). Upgrading the SDK but leaving a stale file in the publish output.

Common situations: CDN/edge cache serving mixed versions; partial publish; referencing runtime files via different package versions (Microsoft.NETCore.App etc.); CI artifact assembly mixing folders.
