An unhandled exception was thrown by the application. System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'uriString')

I am working a asp .net core 6.0 web api project.

Problem overview:

I faced an issue. When running the project the get request's response is 200 ok. BUT while building the project, a get request show 500Internal Server Error and in terminal also I got error.

Detail:

When I run the project with dotnet run (Hosting environment: Development, port is 7045 or 5032), And https://localhost:7045/api/public/opayo-payment/retrieve-transaction/9A5CAE22-7109-D006-A017-41BF9F138076 this get request's response is 200

BUT when I build the project with dotnet publish -c Release , dotnet /home/PaymentApi.dll (Hosting environment: Production, port is 5000 or 5001)

and, https://localhost:5001/api/public/opayo-payment/retrieve-transaction/9A5CAE22-7109-D006-A017-41BF9F138076 this get request' response is 500Internal Server Error

And in the terminal I got below error
