Model bound complex types must not be abstract or value types and must have a parameterless constructor

The below unhandled exception occurred with a REST GET route that was called on an ASP.Net core site. The error is stating that one of the parameters listed could not be model bound and then it provides the criteria a parameter must meet in order be correctly bound.

Exception

Could not create an instance of type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering.IHtmlHelper'. Model bound
complex types must not be abstract or value types and must have a parameterless constructor. Record 
types must have a single primary constructor. Alternatively, give the 'html' parameter a non-null 
default value.

The issue in my case occurred when a parameter that could not be bound was added to the routes parameter list causing the model binding to fail.

Included below are the correct, and incorrect signatures. You'll notice that an IHtmlHelper made it into the parameter list (which is what caused the binding failure). The part that made it hard to troubleshoot is that the debugger will stop when that exception occurs which is not when the host page was initially loaded (JavaScript on a delay timer was what tried and failed to load it).

// Incorrect, further if the route DID have this parameter it
// would need to be listed in the route: /r/sidebar-menu/{html}
[HttpGet("/r/menu")]
public IActionResult Menu(IHtmlHelper html)

// Correct
[HttpGet("/r/menu")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Menu()
