ResourceRelationshipAnnotation added but relation not shown in dashboard

[wim-gdwi]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

I created a custom resource (though that is not the important part here) and used the new 9.1 ResourceRelationshipAnnotation here so that in the dashboard the resource would be shown as a child resource, similar to for example the SQL Server resource and the databases created in it.

• This annotation seems not to have any impact whatsoever on the display? I would expect the dashboard to display the child as an item under the parent
• In the Aspire codebase for SQL Server, nothing is using this attribute for the moment, but the database is shown as a child of the server resource anyway. How is this then achieved for that resource?

var akkaCore = builder.AddAkka("akka-core", "Office").WithRemoting("localhost", 50000);
var akkaApi = builder.AddAkka("akka-api", "Api").WithRemoting("localhost", 0); //Client system doesn't need port

var password = builder.AddParameter("password", "Password123", secret: true);
var sql = builder.AddSqlServer("sql", password)
    .WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent);
var db = sql.AddDatabase("defcomm1");

var core = builder.AddProject<Projects.DefComm1_Core>("core")    
    .WithReference(akkaCore)
    .WithAnnotation<ResourceRelationshipAnnotation>(new ResourceRelationshipAnnotation(akkaCore.Resource, "child"))
    .WithReference(db)
    .WaitFor(db);

Expected Behavior

A resource annotated as a child should display as a child in the dashboard.

Just use this method, it'll do the right thing 😄 .

That indeed worked. Didn't work at first with custom hosting integration though, but I blame that on CoPilot :-D. I love the thing but sometimes it generates code that looks so nice but you end up shooting yourself in the foot. All well now, and also tested the other variants, so WIthParentRelation(..), WithAnnotation(...) working as expected. That you for the fast follow up!

Really cool feature... it works multiple levels. Nice job!

Having a similar (?) issue - WithParentRelationship only seems to work on certain types of resource?

https://github.com/CZEMacLeod/AspireAppHost_Parent_Issue

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var group = builder.AddResource(new GroupResource("my-group"));

builder.AddProject<Projects.WebApplication1>("webapplication1")
    .WithParentRelationship(group);

builder.Build().Run();

public class GroupResource : Resource
{
    public GroupResource(string name) : base(name)
    {
    }
}

If I use an ExecutableResource, or another ProjectResource it does nest.
