In ASP.NET Web API 2 ExceptionHandlerAttribute throws method not found exception - asp.net-web-api

I am using ExceptionHandlerAttribute to handle exception in Web Api 2.
public class ExceptionHandlerAttribute : ExceptionFilterAttribute
{
public ExceptionHandlerAttribute()
{
}
public override void OnException(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
{
HandleException(actionExecutedContext);
}
private void HandleException(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
{
// Log exception here
}
}
In one of the controller I have a async method below that throws exception (I know why this method throws exception but that is not question here)
public async Task<IEnumerable<OrderDTO>> GetOrders(FilterDTO filters)
{
return await _dbcontext.Orders
.Include(x => x.User)
.Where(x => x.OrderDate > filters.StartOrderDate && x.IsApproved)
.Select(x => new OrderDTO()
{
OrderID = x.OrderID,
Amount = x.Amount,
OrderDate = x.OrderDate,
LastModifiedUser = x.User.ToDto()
})
.ToListAsync();
}
When exception occurrs in above method, Web Api framework invokes OnException() method of the registered ExceptionHandlerAttribute as expected. However within the filter i get method not found error
The HandleException method is private method in same class, i am not sure why its not finding the method?

How to ignore/alter model parameter in asp.net core with Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger

My project references the following packages;
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Filters v6.0.0
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger v5.6.3
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.SwaggerGen v5.6.3
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.SwaggerNewtonSoft v5.6.3
Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData v7.5.0
Here's the issue:
I have a controller called "TestController". In it, there is a single [HttpGet] method called Test.
The method is decorated as follows;
[HttpGet]
[SwaggerOperation(OperationId = nameof(Test))]
public IActionResult Test([FromQuery] string id, [FromQuery] ODataQueryOptions<SearchOptions> oData)
{
// ...
}
Since I'm using Swashbuckle, the expected results should be that there is a get method named Test with a bunch of query parameters returned to the documentation UI.
However, instead I see an exception. The exception says;
Failed to generate Scheme for type - ODataQueryOptions<`T>. See inner exception
Inspecting the inner exception shows that swagger is attempting to build what-looks to be a scheme of a bunch of system types (eg. HttpContext, response, request, etc...).
I believe this is happening b/c the ODataQueryOption<`T> class comes with a number of contextual properties to help facilitate URI parsing.
See more about that class here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnet.odata.query.odataqueryoptions?view=odata-aspnetcore-7.0
The exceptions and random google searches have lead me down the path of adding custom IOperationFilter, ISchemeFilters, and IParameterFilters (these all are Swagger specific configuration 'filters').
I've tried to remove the operation all-together by setting properties to null. I've attempted the same with Scheme and Parameter filters... All with no luck. And no documentation to help...
Example of my attempts:
class ParamFilter : IParameterFilter {
public void Apply(OpenApiParameter parameter, ParameterFilterContext context) {
parameter.Scheme = null;
parameter.Reference = null;
}
}
class SchemeFilter : ISchemeFilter {
public void Apply(OpenApiScheme scheme, SchemeFilterContext context) {
scheme.Items = null;
scheme.Reference = null;
scheme.Reference = null;
}
}
// Note: this never gets hit by the debugger. App throws exception before invocation.
class OperationFilter : IOperationFilter {
public void Apply(OpenApiOperation operation, OperationFilterContext context) {
operation.Parameters.clear()
}
}
Nothing worked. Same exception.
At this point my question is fairly simple;
How can I remove the ODataQueryOption parameter from swagger documentation generation?
EDIT: Adding exception messages
Failed to generate Schema for type - Microsoft.AspNet.OData.Query.ODataQueryOptions`1[SearchOptions].
See inner exception
Failed to generate Schema for type -
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.HttpRequest. See inner exception
Failed to generate Schema for type -
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.HttpContext. See inner exception
Failed to generate Schema for type -
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Authentication.AuthenticationManager. See
inner exception
Could not load type
'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Features.Authentication.AuthenticateContext'
from assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Features, Version=3.1.8.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'.
It could work well in my project:
Action(Be sure remove [FromQuery] on ODataQueryOptions):
[HttpGet]
[EnableQuery]
public IActionResult Test Get([FromQuery] string id, ODataQueryOptions<SearchOptions> ODataQueryOptions)
{
//...
}
Startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddOData();
services.AddControllers();
services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
{
c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo { Title = "My API", Version = "v1" });
});
SetOutputFormatters(services);
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
endpoints.EnableDependencyInjection();
endpoints.Select().Filter().Expand().MaxTop(10);
endpoints.MapODataRoute("odata", "odata", GetEdmModel());
});
app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "My API V1");
});
}
IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
{
var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
builder.EntitySet<WeatherForecast>("WeatherForecast");
return builder.GetEdmModel();
}
private static void SetOutputFormatters(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvcCore(options =>
{
IEnumerable<ODataOutputFormatter> outputFormatters =
options.OutputFormatters.OfType<ODataOutputFormatter>()
.Where(foramtter => foramtter.SupportedMediaTypes.Count == 0);
foreach (var outputFormatter in outputFormatters)
{
outputFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/odata"));
}
});
}
Try setting the mapping for ODataQueryOptions with options.MapType(typeof(ODataQueryOptions<>), () => new ());

Entity Framework 6 "DbContext has been disposed" exception

Something very strange is happening in production, and it only happens in production. I have a Web API running and in one of the APIs, there is a repository created in the constructor and used in the functions. This is how the flow of a request works:
HTTP request comes in
MVC API controller decides which "worker" class to instantiate and creates it using Activator.CreateInstance
API controller calls worker.OnExecute inside of a Task.Run() and returns the http response
Worker calls _engine.Execute
Each worker instantiates another "engine" class that has all of the logic.
The engine in case constructs 3 repositories created using a UnitOfWork that is created per engine instance, like so:
public class MyWorker : Worker
{
private readonly MyEngine _engine;
public MyWorker()
{
_engine = new MyEngine();
}
protected override WorkerResult OnExecute(JObject data, CancellationToken cta)
{
return new WorkerResult(HttpStatusCode.OK, _engine.Execute(data));
}
}
public class MyEngine : EngineBase
{
private BaseRepository<Order> OrderRepo { get; set; }
private BaseRepository<OrderItem> OrderItemRepo { get; set; }
public MyEngine()
{
OrderRepo = new BaseRepository<Order>(MyUnitOfWork);
OrderItemRepo = new BaseRepository<OrderItem>(MyUnitOfWork);
}
public string Execute(JObject data)
{
return IsOrderValid(data).ToString();
}
public bool IsOrderValid(JObject data)
{
var orderId = data.Value<int>("OrderId");
// Without this line it crashes. With this line it crashes
//OrderRepo = new BaseRepository<Order>(InternationalWork);
// This is where it crashes
Order order = OrderRepo.First(x => x.OrderID == orderId);
// more code
}
}
public class EngineBase : UnitOfWorker, IDisposable
{
private UnitOfWork _myUnitOfWork;
public EngineBase() { }
public UnitOfWork MyUnitOfWork
{
get
{
return _myUnitOfWork ?? (_myUnitOfWork = new UnitOfWork(new DbContextAdapter(new MyDbContext())));
}
}
}
This is the actual stack trace:
The operation cannot be completed because the DbContext has been disposed.
StackTrace1
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.LazyInternalContext.InitializeContext()
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.LazyInternalContext.get_ObjectContext()
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.Linq.InternalSet`1.CreateObjectQuery(Boolean asNoTracking, Nullable`1 streaming, IDbExecutionStrategy executionStrategy)
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.Linq.InternalSet`1.InitializeUnderlyingTypes(EntitySetTypePair pair)
at System.Data.Entity.Internal.Linq.InternalSet`1.get_InternalContext()
at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DbQuery`1.System.Linq.IQueryable.get_Provider()
at System.Linq.Queryable.FirstOrDefault[TSource](IQueryable`1 source, Expression`1 predicate)
The stack trace shows "FirstOrDefault" because OrderRepo.First internally calls DbSet.FirstOrDefault, like so:
public virtual T First(Expression<Func<T, bool>> query)
{
return _dbSet.FirstOrDefault(query);
}
I'm stumped because each worker is created per http request. Each DBContext is created per engine instance so I don't know how it could be disposed when it was just created in the constructor. And this only happens on the production web server where I presume it's being called more. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

webapi - dbcontext injection into fluentvalidation validator

Hello I am having a hard time passing an HTTP scoped object into a fluent validation validator. Everything works until I try to inject a service and then it throws the following error
No scope with a Tag matching 'AutofacWebRequest' is visible from the
scope in which the instance was requested. This generally indicates
that a component registered as per-HTTP request is being requested by
a SingleInstance() component
It comes down to the below snippet I think and I don't know how to mimic it in webapi
public Func<T> HttpRequestScopedFactoryFor<T>(){
return () => system.Web.Mvc.DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<T>();
}
IN MVC my autofac code looked like so
public class FluentValidationModule : Module
{
public Func<T> HttpRequestScopedFactoryFor<T>()
{
return () => System.Web.Mvc.DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<T>();
}
protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
{
base.Load(builder);
builder.RegisterType<ApplicationDbContext>().AsSelf().InstancePerRequest();
builder.RegisterInstance(HttpRequestScopedFactoryFor<ApplicationDbContext>());
}
}
}
My FluentValidation validator code looked like so
public class RoleDTOValidator : AbstractValidator<RoleDTO>
{
readonly Func<ApplicationDbContext> _dbFactory;
public RoleDTOValidator(Func<ApplicationDbContext> dbFactory)
{
_dbFactory = dbFactory;
RuleFor(m => m.Id).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(m => m.Name).NotEmpty().Must(DoesNotExist).WithMessage("Another permission exists with that name."); ;
RuleFor(m => m.Description).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(m => m.Permissions).NotEmpty().SetCollectionValidator(new ApplicationRoleClaimValidator());
}
bool DoesNotExist(RoleDTO model, string name)
{
ApplicationDbContext db = _dbFactory();
int count = db.Roles.Count(item => item.Name == name);
return count == 0;
}
}
Any help is much appreciated.

Global exception handling in OWIN middleware

I'm trying to create a unified error handling/reporting in ASP.NET Web API 2.1 Project built on top of OWIN middleware (IIS HOST using Owin.Host.SystemWeb).
Currently I used a custom exception logger which inherits from System.Web.Http.ExceptionHandling.ExceptionLogger and uses NLog to log all exceptions as the code below:
public class NLogExceptionLogger : ExceptionLogger
{
private static readonly Logger Nlog = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
public override void Log(ExceptionLoggerContext context)
{
//Log using NLog
}
}
I want to change the response body for all API exceptions to a friendly unified response which hides all exception details using System.Web.Http.ExceptionHandling.ExceptionHandler as the code below:
public class ContentNegotiatedExceptionHandler : ExceptionHandler
{
public override void Handle(ExceptionHandlerContext context)
{
var errorDataModel = new ErrorDataModel
{
Message = "Internal server error occurred, error has been reported!",
Details = context.Exception.Message,
ErrorReference = context.Exception.Data["ErrorReference"] != null ? context.Exception.Data["ErrorReference"].ToString() : string.Empty,
DateTime = DateTime.UtcNow
};
var response = context.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, errorDataModel);
context.Result = new ResponseMessageResult(response);
}
}
And this will return the response below for the client when an exception happens:
{
"Message": "Internal server error occurred, error has been reported!",
"Details": "Ooops!",
"ErrorReference": "56627a45d23732d2",
"DateTime": "2015-12-27T09:42:40.2982314Z"
}
Now this is working all great if any exception occurs within an Api Controller request pipeline.
But in my situation I'm using the middleware Microsoft.Owin.Security.OAuth for generating bearer tokens, and this middleware doesn't know anything about Web API exception handling, so for example if an exception has been in thrown in method ValidateClientAuthentication my NLogExceptionLogger not ContentNegotiatedExceptionHandler will know anything about this exception nor try to handle it, the sample code I used in the AuthorizationServerProvider is as the below:
public class AuthorizationServerProvider : OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
{
public override Task ValidateClientAuthentication(OAuthValidateClientAuthenticationContext context)
{
//Expcetion occurred here
int x = int.Parse("");
context.Validated();
return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
}
public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
{
if (context.UserName != context.Password)
{
context.SetError("invalid_credentials", "The user name or password is incorrect.");
return;
}
var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(context.Options.AuthenticationType);
identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, context.UserName));
context.Validated(identity);
}
}
So I will appreciate any guidance in implementing the below 2 issues:
1 - Create a global exception handler which handles only exceptions generated by OWIN middle wares? I followed this answer and created a middleware for exception handling purposes and registered it as the first one and I was able to log exceptions originated from "OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider", but I'm not sure if this is the optimal way to do it.
2 - Now when I implemented the logging as the in the previous step, I really have no idea how to change the response of the exception as I need to return to the client a standard JSON model for any exception happening in the "OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider". There is a related answer here I tried to depend on but it didn't work.
Here is my Startup class and the custom GlobalExceptionMiddleware I created for exception catching/logging. The missing peace is returning a unified JSON response for any exception. Any ideas will be appreciated.
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
var httpConfig = new HttpConfiguration();
httpConfig.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
httpConfig.Services.Replace(typeof(IExceptionHandler), new ContentNegotiatedExceptionHandler());
httpConfig.Services.Add(typeof(IExceptionLogger), new NLogExceptionLogger());
OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
{
AllowInsecureHttp = true,
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1),
Provider = new AuthorizationServerProvider()
};
app.Use<GlobalExceptionMiddleware>();
app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(OAuthServerOptions);
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());
app.UseWebApi(httpConfig);
}
}
public class GlobalExceptionMiddleware : OwinMiddleware
{
public GlobalExceptionMiddleware(OwinMiddleware next)
: base(next)
{ }
public override async Task Invoke(IOwinContext context)
{
try
{
await Next.Invoke(context);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
NLogLogger.LogError(ex, context);
}
}
}
Ok, so this was easier than anticipated, thanks for #Khalid for the heads up, I have ended up creating an owin middleware named OwinExceptionHandlerMiddleware which is dedicated for handling any exception happening in any Owin Middleware (logging it and manipulating the response before returning it to the client).
You need to register this middleware as the first one in the Startup class as the below:
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
var httpConfig = new HttpConfiguration();
httpConfig.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
httpConfig.Services.Replace(typeof(IExceptionHandler), new ContentNegotiatedExceptionHandler());
httpConfig.Services.Add(typeof(IExceptionLogger), new NLogExceptionLogger());
OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
{
AllowInsecureHttp = true,
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1),
Provider = new AuthorizationServerProvider()
};
//Should be the first handler to handle any exception happening in OWIN middlewares
app.UseOwinExceptionHandler();
// Token Generation
app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(OAuthServerOptions);
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());
app.UseWebApi(httpConfig);
}
}
And the code used in the OwinExceptionHandlerMiddleware as the below:
using AppFunc = Func<IDictionary<string, object>, Task>;
public class OwinExceptionHandlerMiddleware
{
private readonly AppFunc _next;
public OwinExceptionHandlerMiddleware(AppFunc next)
{
if (next == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("next");
}
_next = next;
}
public async Task Invoke(IDictionary<string, object> environment)
{
try
{
await _next(environment);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
try
{
var owinContext = new OwinContext(environment);
NLogLogger.LogError(ex, owinContext);
HandleException(ex, owinContext);
return;
}
catch (Exception)
{
// If there's a Exception while generating the error page, re-throw the original exception.
}
throw;
}
}
private void HandleException(Exception ex, IOwinContext context)
{
var request = context.Request;
//Build a model to represet the error for the client
var errorDataModel = NLogLogger.BuildErrorDataModel(ex);
context.Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;
context.Response.ReasonPhrase = "Internal Server Error";
context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
context.Response.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(errorDataModel));
}
}
public static class OwinExceptionHandlerMiddlewareAppBuilderExtensions
{
public static void UseOwinExceptionHandler(this IAppBuilder app)
{
app.Use<OwinExceptionHandlerMiddleware>();
}
}
There are a few ways to do what you want:
Create middleware that is registered first, then all exceptions will bubble up to that middleware. At this point just write out your JSON out via the Response object via the OWIN context.
You can also create a wrapping middleware which wraps the Oauth middleware. In this case it will on capture errors originating from this specific code path.
Ultimately writing your JSON message is about creating it, serializing it, and writing it to the Response via the OWIN context.
It seems like you are on the right path with #1. Hope this helps, and good luck :)
The accepted answer is unnecessarily complex and doesn't inherit from OwinMiddleware class
All you need to do is this:
public class HttpLogger : OwinMiddleware
{
public HttpLogger(OwinMiddleware next) : base(next) { }
public override async Task Invoke(IOwinContext context)
{
await Next.Invoke(context);
Log(context)
}
}
Also, no need to create extension method.. it is simple enough to reference without
appBuilder.Use(typeof(HttpErrorLogger));
And if you wanna log only specific requests, you can filter on context properties:
ex:
if (context.Response.StatusCode != 200) { Log(context) }

running wf workflow from mvc controller

enter code hereI intend to use WF4.5 in a web application which is written by MVC Framework. I have used WorkflowApplication class instance to run my WorkFlow with. but whenever i call the method in controller that run the instance I get this error:
An asynchronous operation cannot be started at this time. Asynchronous operations may only be started within an asynchronous handler or module or during certain events in the Page lifecycle. If this exception occurred while executing a Page, ensure that the Page is marked <%# Page Async="true" %>. This exception may also indicate an attempt to call an "async void" method, which is generally unsupported within ASP.NET request processing. Instead, the asynchronous method should return a Task, and the caller should await it
I have written this class which is resposnsible to execute workflow:
public class WorkFlowsPipeline : IWorkFlowsPipeline
{
private IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
private SqlWorkflowInstanceStore _instanceStore;
public WorkFlowsPipeline(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)
{
_unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
//workflowInstanceStore
_instanceStore = new SqlWorkflowInstanceStore();
_instanceStore.ConnectionString ="data source=.;initial catalog=WFPersist;user id=sa;password=1;";
}
public void RecordPersistedInstanceForTheUser(int userId,Guid instanceId, Models.Enums.WorkFlowTypeEnum workFlowType)
{
_unitOfWork.UsersWorkFlows.Add(new UsersWorkFlowsInstance
{
UserId = userId,
WorkFlowId=instanceId,
WorkFlowType = workFlowType
});
}
public void RunCompleteProfileForUser(int userId)
{
var usersWorkFlow = _unitOfWork.UsersWorkFlows.GetAll().FirstOrDefault(x => x.UserId == userId);
if (usersWorkFlow == null)
{
Activity rentalWorkflow = new Activity1();
Dictionary<string, object> wfArg = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
{
"UOW", _unitOfWork
},
{
"UserId",userId
}
};
var _wfApp = new WorkflowApplication(rentalWorkflow, wfArg);
_wfApp.SynchronizationContext = SynchronizationContext.Current;
_wfApp.InstanceStore = _instanceStore;
//_wfApp.Extensions.Add(this);
var instanceId=_wfApp.Id;
_wfApp.Run();
RecordPersistedInstanceForTheUser(userId, instanceId,WorkFlowTypeEnum.CompleteProfile);
}
else
{
//get id of instance load it from database and run it
}
}
}
and I called the method in my controller action in this way:
public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
{
var userId = User.Identity.GetUserId<int>();
_workFlowsPipeline.RunCompleteProfileForUser(userId);
return View();
}
Use WorkflowInvoker instead of WorkflowApplication.
