Can any of you Binsor/ASP.Net MVC gurus help with a problem I'm having.

I've got a very simple boo script that runs through the MVC app and
another dll that holds services etc.

when the web-site runs i keep getting a "No component for supporting
the service Practicum.Web.Controllers.LoginController" error. I've
looked at the ControllerBuilder and both the login controller and its
dependancies are in there but it is not resolving it at all.

The code im using is as follows:

//global.asax.cs file
     public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
     {
         public IControllerFactory Factory;
         public IWindsorContainer Container;

         public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
         {
             routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

             routes.MapRoute(
                 "Default",
   // Route name
                 "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
   // URL with parameters
                 new { controller = "Login", action = "Login", id = ""
}  // Parameter defaults
             );

         }

         protected void Application_Start()
         {
             RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
             Container = new WindsorContainer();
             BooReader.Read(Container, "Support files/windsor.boo");
             Factory = new WindsorControllerFactory(Container);
             ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(Factory);
         }
     }

/////boo script
import Practicum.Web
import System.Web.Mvc
import Practicum.Core
import System
import System.Reflection
import Castle.Windsor
import Castle.Core

practicumweb = Assembly.Load("Practicum.Web")
for type in practicumweb.GetTypes():
      if typeof(System.Web.Mvc.Controller).IsAssignableFrom(type):
         Component(type.Name, System.Web.Mvc.Controller, type)


practicumcore = Assembly.Load("Practicum.Core")
for type in practicumcore.GetTypes():
    if typeof(Practicum.Core.Service.IService).IsAssignableFrom(type)
and type is not typeof(Practicum.Core.Service.IService):
           Component(type.Name, Practicum.Core.Service.IService, type)

//default page load on the Default.aspx.cs file in site root. I havn't
changed this at all
public void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(Request.ApplicationPath);
    IHttpHandler httpHandler = new MvcHttpHandler();
    httpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);
}

//login controller

     [HandleError]
     public class LoginController : Controller
     {
         private readonly IService _service;

         public LoginController (IService CustomService)
         {
             _service = CustomService;
         }

         public ActionResult Login()
         {
             return View();
         }
     }

The CustomService currently has nothing in it and derives from IService.

If anyone can help that would be great.

I'd recommend XUnit Test Patterns and Jimmy Bogard also has some blog
entries on it.

If you want to hear the pro-mocking view I'd see mockobjects.com or
the document "Mock Roles, Not Objects" which has a lot of value.

Hey sorry,

Should probably explain more. In ruby the Block construct, which is
equivalent to an anonymous delegate or lambda is heavily used.

Any method call can take a block, whether it uses it or not; there are
methods for determining whether a block was passed in.

The heavyness of their use is evident from the fact that they
typically don't use for loops, instead they would call a block (or
lambda) on each item in a list. Because of duck typing most data
structures can be trated as lists. Its like there is an implicit
IEnumerable interface.

so instead of

foreach (egg in eggs)
{
   do_something_with_an_(egg);
}

The rubyist would do either

eggs.each {|egg| do_something_with_an_(egg)}

or if its mulitline

eggs.each do |egg|
   do_something_with_an(egg)
   and_something_else(egg)
end

Both syntaxes are equivalent, think of the do syntax as a delegate and
the {|egg| ...} as a shorter lambda. The method each takes a lambda
and yields it on the items of eggs.

I apologise for the odd number of references to eggs.

Hey,

tasks.map {|t| t.to_s}.join(', ')

Its just like Linq!

tasks = GetTasks();
IEnumerable<string> strings = tasks.Select(t => t.ToString());
var SingleString = strings.Join(', ');

Uuuh, no help from me.  But you could always post here:

your question will get asked.

Hi folks,

May I ask, have I got this right....

TDD is based on writing tests before you write your code. The test
initially fails and then the code is written to pass the tests.

The code written might have dependencies to resources (external to
the application) and dependencies to other classes that haven't been
written yet.

To get around that for testing purposes mocks and stubs are created.
Dependency injection is used to 'fill in the gaps' for the test cases
for the missing dependencies of the class thats being tested.

Doing it that way means when the proper 'dependent' classes are
developed you can add them in to the application very easily without
effecting the test cases.

Stubs are used in place of classes that haven't been developed yet
and which access external resources. They are normally used to
validate state. IsNameValid, etc...

While Mocks are used to test behaviour of the class to ensure it
calls the correct methods of the 'soon to be developed' class
dependencies (of the class being tested).

*phew*

I'm still not completely sure of when you would create a stub and
when you would create a mock? Or whether it matters if you decide to
develop one over the other. I read that mocks are behaviour based and
stubs are state based, is that correct? Doesn't correct state imply
correct behaviour? and vice versa. Would you need to test for both,
is it just safer to do so?

It's all theory at the moment and it's theory pulled from a number of
sources. If anyone could tell me if I'm on the right track then I'd
appreciate it.

That would be good!

I've been talking to some American developers I know and they have
never heard of ALT.NET. They have heard of the tools but never knew
they were under the ALT.NET banner.

Their first port of call is the MSDN, or books written by people who
go to MSDN, there is some information there but it's not tagged as
ALT.NET.

Hi, was doing some Python development over the weekend and I know
someone posted a question about a good IDE to develop in. Not sure if
it was recommended but I used Wing Python IDE Personnal and it's very
good (not free but cheap as chips).

Definitely the more the merrier, should be an interesting discussion.

I'm pleased to announce that the Edinburgh ALT.NET Beers Night will
take place at 7:30 on the 3rd of November.

The location will be the Rutland, which I'm told is 5 minutes away
from Haymarket, so it should be easy for anyone travelling through to
get too.  You can find more information about getting to the Rutland
here: http://www.edinburghpubguide.co.uk/PubDetails/Rutland_86.html

As with the Glasgow nights, this is an open discussion and is open to
everyone and anyone to come along and participate.

So clear your diary, drag the developer next to you and I look forward
to seeing you there.


PS. Colin, can you post this of Scottish Developers?

http://blog.codeville.net/2008/10/14/partial-requests-in-aspnet-mvc/

Interesting...

Yeah nice find Paul.

My team use Rails migrations to manage the database schema so it would
be nice to wrap up the whole build and release process in rake.
Currently we shell out using the <exec> command in nant to run the
rake db:migrate command in our release target.

I like this a lot more than nant. Been writing my first batch of

Was thinking about a possible DSL for writing build scripts with but
this looks good and may save the trouble.

This is going to show me the way out of NAnt.

It means you can slowly ease your way out of NAnt and into Ruby.

http://codebetter.com/blogs/david_laribee/archive/2008/10/17/transitioning-from-nant-to-rake.aspx
 
NAnt has serve me very well but I can move away from NAnt's Xml syntax and learn Ruby at the same time.

Sounds good to me.

One of the discussions to come out of the pub this week was where's the best
place to get information on alt.net (or potential alt.net) technologies, and
I know the answer is always blogs, but is it worth creating a directory of
useful blogs on the links page of the group (or indeed on the
scotalt.netsite). Which blogs and other sites would you put on it?

I've got into the habit of sharing the interesting stuff (mainly, but not
always programming) via Google Reader at this e-mail address, and forwarding
it to my twitter, and you can see which programming feeds I read at this
Google Reader feed if you're interested :

Anyone else like to share their sources?

I wish I had gone along :(  Damn girlfriends, lol.

40+ people!  That's crazy!  I'm nailing out the details of organising
an ALT.NET meeting in Edinburgh on 3rd November.  As soon as
everything is worked out I'll post the full details, hopefully there
will be a good turn out.  Will also fire you the details Colin.

Thanks

Chris

PS. Colin, I don't mind doing other talks on: MVC, IoC/AOP (with
Castle), DSL, TDD, etc.  I would actually quite like to do one on
migrating a WebForms application to ASP.NET MVC.
