Struggling with strange recursive dependency

Hi, I am changing our app to use lighInject indstead of autofac. I an struggling for 2 days with this error. Its happening so far only for a specific view model.

From some reason, it trows an error for BleDevice model.

Recursive dependency detected: ServiceType:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[PetActivityMobile.Core.Models.Device.BleDevice], ServiceName:]

When calling :

var viewModel = _container.GetInstance(viewModelType);

I am getting the error. Can’t figure out why, its a very simple model.

namespace PetActivityMobile.Core.Models.Device
{

    public class BleDevice
    {
        public string MacAddress { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public bool IsConnected { get; set; }
        public bool IsAssigned { get; set; }
        public string DisplayTitle { get; set; }
        public int Index { get; set; }
        public string IndexTitle { get; set; }
    }
}

The view model is holding a list of this model. Nothing is injected in the constructor. Remove this list from the viewmodel, and the error is gone.

I am registering viewmodels this way:

_container.RegisterAssembly(assembly, (serviceType, implementingType) => serviceType.Namespace.Contains("ViewModel"));

If I can’t solve it, I will have to find another IOC… Any idea?

Thanks,

Ady.

Could you come up with a complete set of steps to reproduce this error?

This is what I’ve got

var container = new ServiceContainer();
container.Register<ObservableCollection<string>>();
container.Compile<ObservableCollection<string>>();

Works fine on my machine 😄

Yep, I didn’t register it 😃 I thought assembly scan enough?

Closing. Thanks!
