Sporadic LifetimeScope issues

Question

Crosspost: https://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/471475

Sometimes, I get this error: "Instances cannot be resolved and nested lifetimes cannot be created from this LifetimeScope as it has already been disposed." when querying some Content Items.

This is my function that builds the items:

        protected IEnumerable<ContentItem> GetResources(string[] productFilters, string[] topicFilters, string[] techLevelFilters)
        {                  
            var cacheKey = BuildCacheKey(productFilters, topicFilters, techLevelFilters);
            var resourceItems = ContentManager.Query().ForType("Resource").ForVersion(VersionOptions.Published).List();

            if (productFilters != null && productFilters.Any())
            {
                resourceItems = resourceItems.Where(r => productFilters.Contains(GetTaxonomyFieldValue(r, productTaxonomy)));
            }

            if (topicFilters != null && topicFilters.Any())
            {
                resourceItems = resourceItems.Where(r => topicFilters.Contains(GetTaxonomyFieldValue(r, topicTaxonomy)));
            }

            if (techLevelFilters != null && techLevelFilters.Any())
            {
                resourceItems = resourceItems.Where(r => techLevelFilters.Contains(GetTaxonomyFieldValue(r, techLevelTaxonomy)));
            }

            return _cacheManager.Get(cacheKey, ctx =>
            {
                ctx.Monitor(_clock.When(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(CacheTime)));
                return resourceItems;
            });
        }

This is part of the function that calls the one above, which at times shows the error:

            string[] newProductFilters = GetProductFilters(0);
            if (newProductFilters != null && newProductFilters.Any())
            {
                productFilters = productFilters.Concat(newProductFilters).ToArray();
            }     

            var resourceItems = GetResources(productFilters, topicFilters, techLevelFilters);

It happens sporadically and I can't really find a cause of the issue. Any piece of advise or information would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

It's totally unclear how you do work with your dependencies. How do you inject them? Do you use a lifetimescope directly? Could you post more code, stack trace of the error please. — Alexandr Nikitin, Nov 29 '13 at 09:41

My guess is that your resourceItems variable is still a LINQ enumerable which is referenced from the _cacheManager.Get lambda. When that lambda actually gets executed, I suspect that the objects it refers to have already been disposed. I would recommend executing the enumerable before referencing it in the lambda. Something like:

var finalResourceItems = resourceItems.ToList();

return _cacheManager.Get(cacheKey, ctx =>
{
    ctx.Monitor(_clock.When(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(CacheTime)));
    return finalResourceItems;
});

I think so. But I would write this like this http://pastebin.com/pXidWHs7 . Wrapping the whole method inside the Cache Get. – mberacochea Nov 29 '13 at 11:41

@martinbc That would also work, just remember to execute the enumerable in that case as well (`return resourceItems.ToList();) as you would still get the same problems – flipchart Nov 29 '13 at 11:52
It is just the way I code Orchard Cached methods. It works for me. – mberacochea Nov 30 '13 at 13:29
brilliant! .ToList() saved my day! – Xinan Mar 04 '15 at 03:12
