Access to NHibernate Configuration using Fluent Configuration

[Nic Strong]

I have recently switched over to using the Fluent Configuration
syntax. I have been using SessionSource from
FluentNHibernate.Framework when doing my tests. The constructor
requires the configuration properties from the nhibernate
configuration. Is there a nice way to get at this from the
FluentConfiguration?

Currently I am using a workaround saving the Configuration from
ExposeConfiguration():

[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
var bootStrapper = new MediaManagerBootstrapper();
Configuration config = null;
var sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory)
.Mappings(m =>
m.AutoMappings.Add(bootStrapper.AutoPersistenceModel))
.ExposeConfiguration(c => { config = c; })
.BuildSessionFactory();

Session = sessionFactory.OpenSession();
var sessionSource = new SessionSource(config.Properties,
bootStrapper.AutoPersistenceModel);
sessionSource.BuildSchema(Session);
}

Any suggestions?

Using the ExposeConfiguration method looks perfectly clean to me.

It works OK for me too, but always looking for a way to make life easier :)

Would be nice to do something like:

var sessionSource = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory)
.Mappings(m
=>m.AutoMappings.Add(bootStrapper.AutoPersistenceModel))
.BuildSessionSource();

To create the session source as opposed to the session factory.

Could do this with an extension method on FluentConfiguration but have
no access to the configuration.

Oh, I think I wasn't paying attention, you need the SessionFactory.
Anyway, for an extension method using the configuration you'd do
something like:

public static FluentConfiguration BuildSessionSource(this
FluentConfiguration config)
{
return config.ExposeConfiguration(c =>
{
// your action with the config right here //
});

I think I'd do the same thing, except I'd wrap the whole bit of code
that needs the configuration object into the anonymous method part:

[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
var bootStrapper = new MediaManagerBootstrapper();

var sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory)
.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add
(bootStrapper.AutoPersistenceModel))

.ExposeConfiguration(c =>
{

Session = sessionFactory.OpenSession();
var sessionSource = new SessionSource(

c.Properties,bootStrapper.AutoPersistenceModel);
sessionSource.BuildSchema(Session);
})

.BuildSessionFactory();
}

Which probably means the code that builds the schema should be
extracted to it's own method, right?
