I am quite sure I am missing a very basic and simple thing here.
I am using Autofac and it's multitenant container as below
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
// Registratino of modules here
var container = builder.Build();
var tenantStrategy = new AppSettingsTenantIdentifier(appSettings);
var mtc = new MultitenantContainer(tenantStrategy, container);
//Registration of tenant specific modules here
var resolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(mtc);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = resolver;
This is called from Application_Start
. After above is called, I try to resolved one of the registered classes as below
var webApiConfig = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver.GetService(typeof (WebApiConfig)) as WebApiConfig;
One of the dependencies on this class is registered as InstancePerAPiRequest
. At this point I get following error.
No scope with a Tag matching 'AutofacWebRequest' is visible from the scope in which the instance was requested. This generally indicates that a component registered as per-HTTP request is being requested by a SingleInstance() component (or a similar scenario.) Under the web integration always request dependencies from the DependencyResolver.Current or ILifetimeScopeProvider.RequestLifetime, never from the container itself.
I am not sure how can I fix this. I Know that I can create a new lifetime scope with tag AutofacWebRequest
and then resolve using that lifetime scope but that does not look right to me.
