.Net Core 2.1 not reading User Secrets
I am running a .net core 2.1 application on a mac and I am trying to access my connections string which should be overridden by my user secrets. The .csproj file includes a guid
<UserSecretsId>{{Secret Guid}}</UserSecretsId>
Add the user secret keys
dotnet user-secrets set "ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection" "Secret Connection String"
I create the configuration which reads from my appsettings.json file perfectly however it does not replaces the default values with the ones from my user secrets.
// this is done so I build my configurations in a class library
var assembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
.Single(o => o.EntryPoint != null);
var configurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.AddEnvironmentVariables()
// .AddUserSecrets<Program>() -> This does not work either
.AddUserSecrets(assembly, optional: false);
configurationBuilder.SetBasePath(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location));
configurationBuilder.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
var configuration = configurationBuilder.Build();
Console.WriteLine(configuration["ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection"]);
As I stated previously trying to access the values it does not replace the values with the user secrets values. Please let me know what I am missing.

The order you add configuration sources to your ConfigurationBuilder is critical - those added later override those added first. In your example, you are calling AddUserSecrets before AddJsonFile, which results in your JSON file values overriding those defined in your user secrets.
For the sake of completeness, here's a fixed version:
var configurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.AddEnvironmentVariables();
configurationBuilder.SetBasePath(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location));
configurationBuilder.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
// configurationBuilder.AddUserSecrets<Program>(); -> This does not work either
configurationBuilder.AddUserSecrets(assembly, optional: false);
In light of this, you might also want to move the AddEnvironmentVariables call to run later in the configuration setup.
