So, I have a .NET solution that uses StructureMap, and I'd like to have StructureMap read an outside assembly that implements an interface from a project in that solution and defines the registry entry for it.
StructreMap configuration for my solution:
ObjectFactory.Initialize(registry =>
{
registry.Scan(assembly =>
{
assembly.TheCallingAssembly();
//Telling StructureMap to sweep a folder called "extensions" directly
//underneath the application root folder for any assemblies found in that folder
assembly.AssembliesFromPath("extensions", addedAssembly => addedAssembly.GetName().Name.ToLower().Contains("extension"));
//Direct StructureMap to add any Registries that it finds in these assemblies, assuming that all the StructureMap directives are
//contained in registry classes
assembly.LookForRegistries();
});
});
Pretty straightforward, I tell it to add the calling assembly and the assembly from a directory to the assemblies collection. I've debugged the assemblies variable and it has indeed found all the assemblies (including the one from the extensions directory).
In a DLL project I've created separate from my original solution, I have an implementation of an interface (I've referenced the interfaces project from my original solution), and written a very simple registry:
public class ProductMockRegistry : Registry
{
public ProductMockRegistry()
{
ForRequestedType<IProductRepository>().AddInstances(repository =>
{
repository.OfConcreteType<ProductMockRepository>();
});
}
}
The problem I have is, StructureMap does not find the registry in the external DLL. It finds the DLL just fine, but when I tell it to LookForRegistries, it doesn't find it.
