awilix: Bug: Not beign able to resolve dependency properly

I am trying to resolve a dependency but when I do it the normal way, I get an error.

Container.resolve('AccountIndexValidator');

Outputs:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'AccountIndexValidator' of null
    at Object.resolve (P:\Coobo\Github\spendfy-microservices\account\node_modules\awilix\lib\container.js:207:51)

    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:778:30)

But if I access it through the registrations property, it works

Container.registrations.AccountIndexValidator.resolve(Container);

Outputs no Error

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

You seem to be calling register inside of a constructor or factory function which is messing with Awilix’ internal resolution stack tracker. What you are doing is not supported, and I would strongly recommend you rethink your architecture.

Thank you @JamieCorkhill for spending pretty much your whole day on this!

Sorry, but I don’t want to add support for this because this is a mis-use of the package. Again, I would suggest you take a look at the boilerplate I linked above. 😃

You’re welcome @jeffijoe and I was happy to help. It wasn’t a bad way to spend the day.

Good luck with your architecture @VIMGAS. Take a look at routes, Server, LoggerMiddleware, and LoggerClass as @jeffijoe suggested. You might find that your issue exists there.

Thanks. I’m seeing your error now. I’ll get back to you.

Ok @JamieCorkhill I have reduced the code amount to the minimum in order for the error repository to comply with the @coobo/base package and have already pushed it to the repo.

Is it better now? While you don’t respond, I will keep trying to reproduce the error outside of the @coobo/base package scope.

Also have added a .env file in order not to throw any errors

You are registering literally everything in the container, like asFunction and asClass. This is not intended usage, I think you are overcomplicating things.
