WebApiCompatShim - how to configure for a REST api with MVC 6

Question

I was having a look at this link that shows how to migrate from Web API 2 to MVC 6.

I am trying to have Action methods in my controllers with the HttpRequestMessag

Answer 1

I found that to use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.WebApiCompatShim, it should be services.AddMvc().AddWebApiConventions() see this example instead of services.AddWebApiConventions() as shown in the docs.

I'm putting in a feedback item on their docs.
