I have a very basic WebAPI setup with token authentication.
In the application start I do:
protected void Application_Start()
{
DependencyConfig.RegisterDependecis();
//...
//...
}
Which calls:
public class DependencyConfig
{
private static ServiceContainer _LightInjectContainer;
public static ServiceContainer LightInjectContainer
{
get { return _LightInjectContainer; }
}
public static void RegisterDependecis()
{
var container = new LightInject.ServiceContainer();
container.RegisterApiControllers();
container.ScopeManagerProvider = new PerLogicalCallContextScopeManagerProvider();
container.EnableWebApi(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
container.Register<IRegistrationManager, RegistrationManager>(new PerScopeLifetime());
_LightInjectContainer = container;
}
}
Now, when the client invokes the token endpoint (requests a token), the provider I defined here:
OAuthOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
{
//...
//...
Provider = new SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider()
//...
//...
};
Is being used with this method:
public class SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider : OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
{
//...
public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
{
//...
// Here I get the exception!
var registrationManager = DependencyConfig.LightInjectContainer.GetInstance<IRegistrationManager>();
//...
}
//...
}
And when I try to get the instance the following error:
Attempt to create a scoped instance without a current scope.
I know the LightInject has a concept of Start/End scope for each request and It's actually telling me that no scope was started. But I can't seem to figure what exactly is broken and needs to be fixed.
By reading on of the last answers in this question, I came up with this solution: (Starting a scope manually)
using(DependencyConfig.LightInjectContainer.BeginScope())
{
IRegistrationManager manager = DependencyConfig.LightInjectContainer.GetInstance<IRegistrationManager>();
}
Technicaly it works, but I not sure if it's the right solution regarding whats happening behind the scenes.
