I'm seeing weird issues once a site is deployed. I have specified a custom error controller & view in the Global.asax.cs using the following:
protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var httpContext = ((MvcApplication)sender).Context;
var currentController = " ";
var currentAction = " ";
var currentRouteData = RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(
new HttpContextWrapper(httpContext));
if (currentRouteData != null)
{
if (currentRouteData.Values["controller"] != null
&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentRouteData.Values["controller"].ToString()))
{
currentController = currentRouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();
}
if (currentRouteData.Values["action"] != null
&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentRouteData.Values["action"].ToString()))
{
currentAction = currentRouteData.Values["action"].ToString();
}
}
var ex = Server.GetLastError();
var controller = new ErrorController();
var routeData = new RouteData();
var action = "Index";
if (ex is HttpException)
{
var httpEx = ex as HttpException;
switch (httpEx.GetHttpCode())
{
case 404:
action = "NotFound";
break;
// others if any
}
}
if (ex is NisSessionExpiredException)
{
action = "SessionExpired";
}
httpContext.ClearError();
httpContext.Response.Clear();
httpContext.Response.StatusCode = ex is HttpException
? ((HttpException)ex).GetHttpCode()
: 500;
httpContext.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
routeData.Values["controller"] = "Error";
routeData.Values["action"] = action;
controller.ViewData.Model = new HandleErrorInfo(ex, currentController, currentAction);
((IController)controller).Execute(
new RequestContext(new HttpContextWrapper(httpContext), routeData));
}
That works fine locally, but once deployed on a server, when an error occurs it again uses the specified controller & action but it always returns:
System.InvalidOperationException: The view 'Error' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched: ~/Views/Draft/Error.aspx ~/Views/Draft/Error.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Error.aspx ~/Views/Shared/Error.ascx ~/Views/Draft/Error.cshtml ~/Views/Draft/Error.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Error.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Error.vbhtml at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResult.FindView(ControllerContext context) at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResultBase.ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context) at System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.<>c__DisplayClass25.b__22(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Web.Mvc.Controller.<>c__DisplayClass1d.b__18(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncResultWrapper.<>c__DisplayClass4.b__3(IAsyncResult ar) at System.Web.Mvc.Controller.EndExecuteCore(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncResultWrapper.<>c__DisplayClass4.b__3(IAsyncResult ar) at System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler.<>c__DisplayClass8.b__3(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncResultWrapper.<>c__DisplayClass4.b__3(IAsyncResult ar) at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
instead of the expected errors (as you can see above the error view is supposed to give me detailed information of what the thrown exception is and also a call stack). In my understanding this view should have never been invoked (and also it is never invoked locally).
