Creating a file-based project throws an exception "The registered delegate for type ILanguageCloudService threw an exception. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Question

Using Trados Studio 2022 SR2 CU9 (17.2.9.18688)

I adding Studio 2022 SR2 compatibility to a project automation tool that I wrote years ago and the code has always worked over the years. Now with the latest Studio version, it throws an exception - what am I missing?

Stacktrace:

System.Exception: The registered delegate for type ILanguageCloudService threw an exception. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> SimpleInjector.ActivationException: The registered delegate for type ILanguageCloudService threw an exception. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> SimpleInjector.ActivationException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi Tom Imhof , might be quicker to identify what the problem is if we can access the source code. Is the source code public or are yiy managing it locally, in which case, can you provide us with a copy of the source code to review it? 
 if you send to Emanuel Albu or Robert Cornea , then they can followup with the team. 
 Note: you know the drill -> don't include the source code in a zip via e-mail, instead up load it to dropbox or ondrive etc... and share the link to download it (from the e-mail).

Hi Tom Imhof and Laura Saunders-Calvert 
 Thank you for the source code it was very helpful. I identified the issue and I added a ticket for it (LG-43655) to be fixed in the next CU. Until then you can do a workaround in your applications. 
 Depending on the programing language you use search for the AssemblyInfo file and add the AssemblyConfiguration attribute : 
 VB : <Assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")> 
 C# : [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")] 
 Thank you for your patience, I would really appreciate if in the future you could tag me in replies so I get notified. 
 
 Best regards, 
 Cornea Robert
