@Model is null when using RazorEngineTemplateBase

I’ve run into an issue when attempting to strongly type a template. My template has @inherits RazorEngineCore.RazorEngineTemplateBase<MyModelType> at the top, and this makes intellisense work nicely.

The template compiles just fine, but when I run it, I always get “Object not sent to instance of an object” when I reference any property on my model. I know my model is not null. It works fine when render it without using RazorEngineTemplateBase.

Running a template with @(Model == null) works, but always renders “True”.

My generic render function:

private static ConcurrentDictionary<int, IRazorEngineCompiledTemplate<IRazorEngineTemplate>> TemplateCache = 
            new ConcurrentDictionary<int, IRazorEngineCompiledTemplate<IRazorEngineTemplate>>();

public static string Render<TModel>(string template, TModel model, Assembly[] referencedAssemblies = null)
        {
            int templateHashCode = template.GetHashCode();

            var compiledTemplate = TemplateCache.GetOrAdd(templateHashCode, i =>
            {
                var razorEngine = new RazorEngine();

                var compiledTemplate = razorEngine.Compile<RazorEngineTemplateBase<TModel>>(template, builder =>
                {
                    ...
                });

                return compiledTemplate;
            });

            return compiledTemplate.Run(instance =>
            {
                instance.Model = model;
            });
        }

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Its because of new keywork I used: https://github.com/adoconnection/RazorEngineCore/blob/master/RazorEngineCore/RazorEngineTemplateBaseT.cs

Thats design issue, I need to think a little.

Cool, however this breaking change for new keywork is confusing. I would prefer something like this, with override keyword

public abstract class RazorEngineTemplateBase<T> : RazorEngineTemplateBase
{
    public override T Model { get; set; }
}

public abstract class RazorEngineTemplateBase : IRazorEngineTemplate
{
    public virtual dynamic Model { get; set; }
}
