My understanding of WithConstructorArgument is probably erroneous, because the following is not working:
I have a service, lets call it MyService, whose
constructor is taking multiple objects, and a string parameter called testEmail. For this string parameter, I added the following Ninject binding:
string testEmail = "
[email protected]";
kernel.Bind<IMyService>().To<MyService>().WithConstructorArgument("testEmail", testEmail);
However, when executing the following line of code, I get an exception:
var myService = kernel.Get<MyService>();
Here is the exception I get:
Error activating string No matching bindings are available, and the
type is not self-bindable. Activation path:
2)
Injection of
dependency string into parameter testEmail of
constructor of type
MyService
1) Request for MyService
Suggestions:
1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for string.
2) If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has
been loaded into the kernel.
3) Ensure you have not accidentally
created more than one kernel.
4) If you are using
constructor
arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors
parameter name.
5) If you are using automatic module loading, ensure
the search path and filters are correct.
What am I doing wrong here?
UPDATE:
Here is the MyService constructor:
[Ninject.Inject]
public MyService(IMyRepository myRepository, IMyEventService myEventService,
IUnitOfWork unitOfWork, ILoggingService log,
IEmailService emailService, IConfigurationManager config,
HttpContextBase httpContext, string testEmail)
{
this.myRepository = myRepository;
this.myEventService = myEventService;
this.unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
this.log = log;
this.emailService = emailService;
this.config = config;
this.httpContext = httpContext;
this.testEmail = testEmail;
}
I have standard bindings for all the
constructor parameter types. Only 'string' has no binding, and HttpContextBase has a binding that is a bit different:
kernel.Bind<HttpContextBase>().ToMethod(context => new HttpContextWrapper(new HttpContext(new MyHttpRequest("", "", "", null, new StringWriter()))));
and MyHttpRequest is defined as follows:
public class MyHttpRequest : SimpleWorkerRequest
{
public string UserHostAddress;
public string RawUrl;
public MyHttpRequest(string appVirtualDir, string appPhysicalDir, string page, string query, TextWriter output)
: base(appVirtualDir, appPhysicalDir, page, query, output)
{
this.UserHostAddress = "127.0.0.1";
this.RawUrl = null;
}
}
