Issue

• What did you do?
  I followed instructions on this page on the doc website trying to run the tutorial.

• What happened?
  An exception was thrown when I executed dotnet run after all code and materials were prepared.
  I also tried the tutorial on macOS, it worked well.

• What did you expect?
  Normal console output should be printed and program runs correctly.

Exception stack trace

When an exception was thrown, the program tried to get a resource string with a key, and failed. I extracted the resource key using windbg, and it was BlockingCollection_CantTakeWhenDone.

Here are raw stack trace:

Assert Failure

[artidoro]

I just ran the tutorial on windows and did not incur errors. My guess is that the newer versions of the package have probably solved the issue.

Are you having the same issue with the newer packages?

[artidoro]

Closing this issue because the error seems to have been solved.
