https://pastebin.com/BrnzgAPN Hi, As a beginner to ASP.NET Core Im developing a Contacts Manager application and I added a view for html to pdf conversion with Rotativa and attached the necessary exe file in wwwroot but im getting that giant error. How do i fix it?

path1 is null, wherever and whatever it is Use the debugger to figure out what Also, it might be a better idea to use something like QuestPDF for PDF generation, without involving HTML

okay its weird cuz the code is not telling me the line of the errror its working now after moving the the setup line of rotativa to above app.run in Program.cs, i did this before too but it started giving me error then even before starting the website and to overcome that error i moved it below the app.run but it gave the null exception i mentioned then, im not sure how it got fixed though
