First off, let me say that I don't think that is is an issue with ReactiveUI per se, which is why I've not created an issue on its github repo, and second, I realise that I'm using a beta version of ReactiveUI.
I want to use Structuremap because I'm going to have a plugin scenario in my WPF app, and the DI container in Splat isn't cut out for that sort of thing.
Observe these unit tests:
[Fact]
public void ShouldBeAbleToOverrideDefaultDependencyResolver()
{
Locator.Current = new ApplicationDependencyResolver(StructureMapBootstrapper.Instance.Container);
Locator.CurrentMutable.InitializeSplat();
Locator.CurrentMutable.InitializeReactiveUI();
var view = Locator.Current.GetService<SplashScreenView>();
view.Should().NotBeNull().And.BeOfType<SplashScreenView>();
}
[Fact]
public void ShouldBeAbleToLocateTheViewForAViewModel()
{
Locator.Current = new ApplicationDependencyResolver(StructureMapBootstrapper.Instance.Container);
Locator.CurrentMutable.InitializeSplat();
Locator.CurrentMutable.InitializeReactiveUI();
var viewLocator = Locator.Current.GetService<IViewLocator>();
var view = viewLocator.ResolveView(typeof (SplashScreenViewModel));
view.Should().NotBeNull().And.BeOfType<SplashScreenView>();
}
The first test passes. The second test does not, and provides this stacktrace:
StructureMap.StructureMapConfigurationExceptionNo default Instance is registered and cannot be automatically determined for type 'IViewFor<RuntimeType>'
There is no configuration specified for IViewFor<RuntimeType>
1.) Container.GetInstance(IViewFor<RuntimeType>)

I obviously do not, and can not, have any views which implement IViewFor<RuntimeType>
. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to get around this? I can't exclude it using the normal Structuremap configuration.
For full clarity here are the implementations of the resolver and the structuremap bootstrapper:
public class ApplicationDependencyResolver : IMutableDependencyResolver
{
private readonly IContainer _container;
public ApplicationDependencyResolver(IContainer container)
{
_container = container;
}
public void Dispose()
{
_container.Dispose();
}
public object GetService(Type serviceType, string contract = null)
{
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(contract)
? _container.GetInstance(serviceType)
: _container.GetInstance(serviceType, contract);
}
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType, string contract = null)
{
return _container.GetAllInstances(serviceType).Cast<object>();
}
public void Register(Func<object> factory, Type serviceType, string contract = null)
{
var o = factory();
_container.Configure(configure => configure.For(serviceType).Use(o));
}
}
public sealed class StructureMapBootstrapper
{
private static readonly StructureMapBootstrapper InternalInstance = new StructureMapBootstrapper();
static StructureMapBootstrapper() { }
private StructureMapBootstrapper()
{
Configure();
}
public static StructureMapBootstrapper Instance { get { return InternalInstance; } }
public IContainer Container { get; private set; }
private void Configure()
{
Container = new Container(configure =>
{
configure.Scan(with =>
{
with.TheCallingAssembly();
with.LookForRegistries();
with.WithDefaultConventions();
});
});
}
}
