Error trying to resolve Service 'System.Boolean' from Adapter 'NetCoreContainerAdapter'

Question

After recently converting to .NET Core I get the following error when trying to authenticate with any of our AuthProviders:

"Error trying to resolve Service 'System.Boolean' from Adapter 'NetCoreContainerAdapter': Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I am using ServiceStack.Core 5.9.2 on .NET Core 3.1.

Answer 1

Do you have your SgCredentialsAuthProvider registered in the IOC? It's only supposed to be added as an AuthProvider in your AuthFeature plugin registration.

The error suggests you have an autowired Service or a dependency with a public bool property or constructor that is trying to be injected with a non-existent bool dependency that's being called from the IsAccountLocked() method:

public virtual bool IsAccountLocked(IAuthRepository authRepo, IUserAuth userAuth, IAuthTokens tokens=null)
{
    if (AccountLockedValidator != null)
        return AccountLockedValidator(authRepo, userAuth, tokens);
    
    return userAuth?.LockedDate != null;
}

Judging by its implementation the IOC is trying to resolve each generic argument of the AccountLockedValidator from the IOC and failing on the bool generic argument:

public Func<IAuthRepository, IUserAuth, IAuthTokens, bool> AccountLockedValidator { get; set; }

Removing the IOC registration of your SgCredentialsAuthProvider or ignoring it if you're doing some auto scanning / auto wiring of dependencies should resolve it.
