DD4T XpmMarkupService Binding Error

Question

I am running DD4T 2.1 and when setting up the DI container (Autofac) I get the following exception:

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Autofac.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: The type 'DD4T.Mvc.ViewModels.XPM.XpmMarkupService' is not assignable to service 'DD4T.MVC.ViewModels.XPM.IXpmMarkupService'.

Here's the code that does the DI initialization:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
            builder.RegisterControllers(typeof(MvcApplication).Assembly);
            builder.RegisterFilterProvider();
            builder.UseDD4T();
            var container = builder.Build();
            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));
            //XmlConfigurator.Configure();
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }

Can anyone guide me on where I've gone wrong?

Answer 1

That is correct.

The type DD4T.Mvc.ViewModels.XPM.XpmMarkupService is not assignable to service DD4T.**MVC**.ViewModels.XPM.IXpmMarkupService but it is assignable to DD4T.**Mvc**.ViewModels.XPM.IXpmMarkupService.

One fix is to download the DD4T.DI.Autofac project and modify Mvc.cs RegisterMvc method to correctly register XpmMarkupService as DD4T.Mvc.ViewModels.XPM.IXpmMarkupService.

Compile and reference the updated DD4T.DI.Autofac dll in your project.

Answer 2

We got the same error but fixed it by simply reverting DDT4T.MVC5 NuGet package to version 2.0.8.

We are also using Autofac v4.1.0 and Autofac.Mvc5 v 4.0.0

Are there any issues we need to be aware of with this fix?
