    404 error when trying to access api controller

    Here is my setup, I've got a studio project which generates an assembly with only the following class:

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;

namespace engsoft_cms
{
    public class ProfilesV1ApiController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public string Get()
        {
            return "HI!!! HAPPY DAYS!!";
        }
    }
}

    I copy this to my server's bin directory, recycle the worker process, then when I try to access http://mysite/umbraco/api/profilesv1api/ ; I get a 404. I've also tried /umbraco/api/profilesv1 /api/profilesv1api/ etc. I feel like I am missing something obvious.

    The server is running on Server 2012 Umbraco 7.2.5

    Hi Nathan

    You should be able to go to /umbraco/api/profilesv1/Get and then see the "HI!!! HAPPY DAYS!!" text.

    Don't know if you have seen the documentation about this here? https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/WebApi/

    Hello Jan,

    Thanks for the link to the docs, I should just bookmark this for when I invariabily forget.

    Thankfully, late in the day, I figured out what the problem was. I accidentally updated the microsoft libraries from nuget. Because of assembly version mismatches my assembly wasn't loading and the calls were throwing errors.

    A new avenue I need to now explore is why I was not seeing any error output in the trace log and event vewer.
