Hi

I'm no automapper expert, but by looking at the stack trace it looks like the ValidUrlAttribute constructor is called before the IoC container has been configured. And for the default constructor on ValidUrlAttribute to work, it needs the container to be configured. If it isn't, you need to use the constructor with takes two services as arguments, and pass those on explicitly.

Now, I understand that it is automapper who does this call, and not you explicitly. But would it be possible to do this logic later in the initialization, when the container is all setup and ready to be used?

Can you post your DependencyResolverInitialization class here? 

Thank you team,

Quan,

Below is out code.we have faced some issues regarding the web API route registration so registered directly in dependency module instead of app_start. The commented line of code has a problem.

Thanks and Regards,

It seems to me that at that point there is no registration for UrlSegmentOptions

if you add context.Locate.Advanced.GetInstance<UrlSegmentOptions>(); inside Initialize, what does it return?

If it returns null, then you might try to add it 

context.Services.AddSingleton(s => new UrlSegmentOptions
{
SupportIriCharacters = true,
ValidCharacters = @"\p{L}0-9\-_~\.\$"
});

Thanks for your quick reply Quan,

I tried this both but getting the same error.

What does your DependencyResolverInitialization look like now:

 public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
        {
            context.StructureMap().Configure(ConfigureContainer);
            var dependencyResolver = new StructureMapDependencyResolver(context.StructureMap());
            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(dependencyResolver); ////mvc            
            GlobalConfiguration.Configure(config =>
            {
                WebApiConfig.Register(config);
                config.Services.Add(typeof(IExceptionLogger), new WebApiExceptionLogger());
            });
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = dependencyResolver; ////web api
        }

        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            context.Locate.Advanced.GetInstance<UrlSegmentOptions>();
        }

. please re-read my post carefully. 

Hi Quan,

 We are calling our mapper set up inside the below method.

public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)

{

}

We can't hit the Initialization method since the Custom Model class to EPiServer Model class mapping throws an exception which calls inside the ConfigureContainer. If we commented out the below mapper set up we can get a value(non Null) for the context.Locate.Advanced.GetInstance<UrlSegmentOptions>() in Initialization call.

 //// cfg.CreateMap<ImportProductData, Variation>()
                ////    .ForMember(dest => dest.Orientation, opt => opt.Ignore())
                ////    .ForMember(dest => dest.Series, opt => opt.Ignore())
                ////    .ForMember(dest => dest.Tested, opt => opt.Ignore())
                ////    .ForMember(dest => dest.Rotation, opt => opt.Ignore())
                ////    .ForMember(dest => dest.Material, opt => opt.Ignore())
                ////    .IgnoreAllNonExistingProperties();

We also try to Initialize the URLSegmentOption before the mapper set up did not help us.

public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
context.Services.AddSingleton(s => new UrlSegmentOptions
{
SupportIriCharacters = true,
ValidCharacters = @"\p{L}0-9\-_~\.\$"
});
context.StructureMap().Configure(ConfigureContainer); // Mappers setup call
var dependencyResolver = new StructureMapDependencyResolver(context.StructureMap());
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(dependencyResolver); ////mvc
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(config =>
{
WebApiConfig.Register(config);
config.Services.Add(typeof(IExceptionLogger), new WebApiExceptionLogger());
});

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = dependencyResolver; ////web api
}

My bad, I should be more clear, when I talked about adding this code

context.Services.AddSingleton(s => new UrlSegmentOptions
{
SupportIriCharacters = true,
ValidCharacters = @"\p{L}0-9\-_~\.\$"
});

I meant ConfigureContainer, before 

            context.StructureMap().Configure(ConfigureContainer);

Thanks Quan,

Sorry for the late reply.I am not able to get you. Please explain what to do.

which automapper version are you using?

Hi valdis iljuconoks,

we are using below one

<package id="AutoMapper" version="7.0.1" targetFramework="net461" />

how to bypass this issue inn some other way?

Advance thanks 

I have the exact same problem. How did you solve it? I tried the suggestions in this thread without success.

I am not able to resolve the issue(when registering in the dependency module). So i used like below one

        private IMapper Map
        {
            get { return map ?? (map = CreateMap()); }
        }

        private IMapper CreateMap()
        {
            var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
            {
                cfg.CreateMap<ImportProductData, Variation>()
                    .ForMember(dest => dest.Orientation, opt => opt.Ignore())
                    .IgnoreAllNonExistingProperties();
            });
            return config.CreateMapper();
        }
