AfterMap not working well when mapping enumerations

[Ken Baltrinic]

I am trying to do some post processing on a mapping of enumerations
and it appears that the enumeration that I get from AfterMap is a
LinFu proxy and any time I try to enumerate over it I get a
NullReferenceException. I am guessing that GetEnumerator is returning
null. Here is a quick test to demo the problem:

public class TestType //Note: problem does not appear if target type
if a primitive.
{
public int current { get; set; }
public int prior { get; set; }
}

Mapper.CreateMap<int, TestType>()
.ForMember(tt => tt.current, opt => opt.MapFrom(i => i))
.ForMember(tt => tt.prior, opt => opt.Ignore());

Mapper.CreateMap<IEnumerable<int>, IEnumerable<TestType>>()
.AfterMap((i, tt) =>
{
var prior = tt.First(); //Throws exception here. If I remove the
call to .First()...
foreach (var t in tt) //Then the same exception throws on this
line.
{
t.prior = prior.current;
prior = t;
}
});

[Test]
public void post_process_enumerable_mapping()
{
var actual = Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<int>, IEnumerable<TestType>>(
new[] { 1, 2, 3 });
Assert.That(actual, Has.Count.EqualTo(3));
}

OK so this is a bug, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to fix it soon.  The problem is that it's picking up the automapping strategy for mapping (because of the CreateMap call), as opposed to the enumerable strategy.  And with the execution API the way it's designed now, it won't be easy to tease apart for a little bit.

However, with the ongoing configuration model re-write, this should be a snap.

So 10 years later, this bug still exists.

Yes no one has fixed it and it doesn't affect me so 🤷‍♂️

Is it possible to fix this? Need AfterMap to work alse when calling ProjectTo
