ASPIRERADIUS072

Error message

Resource '${resource.Name}' has a Radius recipe that provisions the single database '${selectedDatabaseName}', but '${string.Join("', '", wronglyConsumed)}' ${(wronglyConsumed.Count == 1 ? "is" : "are")} also consumed by the application, so those consumers would receive a connection string naming a database the deployment will not contain. Consume only '${selectedDatabaseName}', or declare one database per resource. Diagnostic: ASPIRERADIUS072.

What it means

A Radius recipe that provisions a single fixed database is combined with consumers that reference other database names, so those consumers would receive connection strings pointing at a database the deployment will not contain. The builder rejects the model instead of producing a deployment that fails at runtime.

Solutions

1. Change consumers so they only reference the database name the recipe provisions (selectedDatabaseName).
2. Declare one database per resource if the application needs multiple databases.
3. Remove the extra database references from the application model.

Example fix

// before
var db1 = builder.AddPostgres("pg").AddDatabase("orders");
var db2 = builder.AddPostgres("pg").AddDatabase("billing");
// after
var orders = builder.AddPostgres("pg").AddDatabase("orders");
var billing = builder.AddPostgres("pg-billing").AddDatabase("billing");

var consumed = model.GetConsumedDatabases(resource); var provisioned = recipe.ProvisionedDatabases; if (consumed.Any(d => !provisioned.Contains(d))) throw new InvalidOperationException("Recipe does not provision all consumed databases.");

When it happens

Trigger: Publishing a resource whose recipe provisions exactly one named database (selectedDatabaseName) while the application model consumes other database names (wronglyConsumed) on the same resource.

Common situations: Adding multiple AddDatabase references (e.g. 'db1' and 'db2') against one resource whose recipe only creates one database; copy-pasting database references from a multi-database setup onto a single-database recipe resource.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Must be a positive integer", "Invalid value", "Unsupported": the invalid-argument-value error family, when a library rejects the value you pass — this error's family across 35 libraries.
