EfCore.GenericServices: AutoMapper upgrade to version 9.0.0 results in error: MissingMethodException IgnoreAllPropertiesWithAnInaccessibleSetter()

We are trying to update all packages in our solution to the latest versions. When upgrading AutoMapper to version 9.0.0 to following error occurs:

System.MissingMethodException : Method not found: 'AutoMapper.IMappingExpression`2<System.__Canon,System.__Canon> AutoMapper.IMappingExpression`2.IgnoreAllPropertiesWithAnInaccessibleSetter()'.
   at GenericServices.Setup.Internal.CreateConfigGenerator.ConfigGenerator`2.AddSaveMappingToProfile(Profile writeProfile)
   at GenericServices.Setup.UnitTestSetup.AddSingleDto[TDto](SpecificUseData utData)
   at GenericServices.Setup.UnitTestSetup.SetupSingleDtoAndEntities[TDto](DbContext context, IGenericServicesConfig publicConfig)

The depedencies of GenericServices are: AutoMapper (>= 7.0.1) Microsoft.AspNetCore.JsonPatch (>= 2.1.1) Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore (>= 2.1.1)

It would be nice that GenericServices is compatible with the latest version of AutoMapper.

Hmm. I didn’t know that! I’m busy on a contract so I’m not sure when I will get to it, but its now on my list!

Ok, that makes more sense! Thanks.

In reply to @baoduy,

Are you aware on how GenericServices sets up AutoMapper? It builds a separate read/write IMapper from any normal AutoMapper usage so that they don’t get confused. It does this using the standard mapping approach, i.e. not the new [AutoMap(...)] approach. See this page in the docs.

This means GenericServices won’t use the[AutoMap(...)] attribute when setting up the mappings. If you want to change the mappings then you use the PerDtoConfig<TDto, TEntity> class to alter the mapping. I don’t plan to support the [AutoMap(...)] attribute as I couldn’t implement the readonly feature on properties.

Can you explain why you need CreateMissingTypeMaps = true; in EfCore.GenericBizRunner? Do you need nested DTOs that you can’t define?

Hi @baoduy and others,

I have just released a new version of EfCore.GenericServices, version 2.1.0-preview001 which uses AutoMapper 9.0.0. The actual code is in the ‘dev’ branch at the moment, but if you confirm its OK I will put it in master and release a version 2.1.0 before I start the NetStandard2.1 version.

Please can you check this works with your system soon, as I plan to release a NetStandard2.0 and NetStandard2.1 version next week.

PS. Version 9 of AutoMapper has a IgnoreAllPropertiesWithAnInaccessibleSetter method so I can only assume signature changed and the version 7 IgnoreAllPropertiesWithAnInaccessibleSetter didn’t work with the version 9 AutoMapper.

Hi @baoduy,

Fine by me. Do make sure the unit tests are updated/passed.

I will be working on the NET Core 3.0 version next week.

Let me take a look on this hope I could able to give an PR in couple of days.
