c# - Problem with Circular dependency in ASP.NET Core

Question

I have to create services for my project, that implement other services, therefore I created many Interfaces and for some services I inject the interface to use the methods, but when I tried to compile my project I become an error, this is driving me nuts, can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?

the interface:

   public interface IGoogleExtensions
   {
      dynamic GetEntetiesTypeorWorth(WebhookRequest request, string entetie, bool wertHohlen);
      bool HasDisplay(WebhookRequest request);
      string StringBuilder(int position, string text, string texttoinsert);

   }

The Service

  public class GoogleExtensionsService : IGoogleExtensions

  {
      private readonly IGoogleVitalwertResponseHelper _googleVitalwertResponseHelper;

  public GoogleExtensionsService(IGoogleVitalwertResponseHelper googleVitalwertResponseHelper)
  {
     _googleVitalwertResponseHelper = googleVitalwertResponseHelper;
  }

  public dynamic GetEntetiesTypeorWorth(WebhookRequest request, string entetie, bool wertHohlen)
  {
     var entetieType = request.QueryResult.Parameters.Fields;
     var type = TextResponses.FehlerMeldung2;
    [...]
        type = TextResponses.Alle;
     }
     return type;
  }

  public bool HasDisplay(WebhookRequest request)
  {
     string capability = request.OriginalDetectIntentRequest.Payload.Fields[ProtobufFields.Surface].StructValue.Fields[ProtobufFields.Capabilities].ToString();
     if (capability.Contains(ProtobufFields.Screen_output))
        return true;
     return false;
  }

  public string StringBuilder(int position, string text, string texttoinsert)
  {
     StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(text);
     sb.Insert(position, texttoinsert);
     return sb.ToString();
  }

References in Start.up

     services.AddTransient<IGoogleResponseService, GoogleResponseService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleService, GoogleRequestService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleExtensions, GoogleExtensionsService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleVitalwertResponseHelper, GoogleVitalwertResponseService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleVitalwertRequest, GoogleVitalwertRequest>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleMenuePlanRequest, GoogleMenuePlanRequestService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleMenuePlanResponseHelper, GoogleMenuePlanResponseService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleMedikamentRequest, GoogleMedikamentRequestService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleMedikamentResponse, GoogleMedikamentResponseService>();
     services.AddTransient<IGoogleBerichtResponse, GoogleBerichResponseService>();

I′m dealing with the following error:

Answer 1

Your GoogleExtensionsService uses GoogleVitalwertResponseService which uses GoogleExtensionsService, etc, etc. Your concrete implementations cannot have circular dependencies.

It looks like GoogleExtensionsService gets GoogleVitalwertResponseService injected, but doesn't actually use it. Remove that reference from the GoogleExtensionsService and you should be set.
