Automapper with nested child containers

[grumpy]

According to author's post in version 2.0

http://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2011/09/29/automapper-2-0-nestedchild-containers/

but this test doesnt work, can someone point out whats wrong here ?

public class Source
{
public int SomeValue { get; set; }
}

public class Destination
{
public Destination() { }

public Destination(bool value)
{
this.WasCustom = true;
}
public bool WasCustom { get; private set; }
public int SomeValue { get; set; }
}


[TestMethod]
public void can_make_servicelocator_work()
{
Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>();
var source = new Source { SomeValue = 100 };
var dest = Mapper.Map<Source, Destination>(source,
(option) => option.ConstructServicesUsing((t) => new
Destination(true)));
Assert.IsTrue(dest.WasCustom);
}

Are you trying to make the container instantiate destination objects?

I am trying to take control over creation of objects since i need to
create them using EF's dataContext and then do some custom logic on
them ( setting the row version)

I cloned the latest code, and it seems like the release on nuget is
missing ConstructUsingServiceLocator method on IMappingExpression
interface, this method is checked before mapping engine uses the
delegate supplied in the Map method.

Yeah, that's right, I made a recent change to allow for destination types to be constructed using the container. In our case it was so that Caliburn could create view models from the container, instead of just instantiating them.

I'm planning on a 2.1 release to have this more complete support for containers (including a bug where customer type converters weren't going through the container).

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hey thanks Jimmy,

i would look out for that release...

 

i would also like to add another feature request that you change (or overload) the signature of the func in the constructor to be able to get the source object also ..

 

so that if someone needs to make some more informed decision like knowing some value of the object they can do that.

 

I modified the source but dont know how to submit a patch for approval ....

Do you have a GitHub account? If so, have you already forked the code on GitHub?

Thanks,

Hi,

I tried this using 2.2.1 and the tests still fail.

Should this be fixed or am I doing it wrong using the tests from this thread?

Which tests?
