Issue with Bundling and Release mode


When ever i publish my web site with debug="false" mode and BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true the server returns the following exception for bundled scripts and styles while requests are just for non authorized requests! But if I run application with debug="true" or user is logged in (via forms authentication in release mode) the exception does not occur and every thins works just fine.

I think there should be a relation between bundling and authentication!! as the exception indicates.

What is wrong?

my bundling codes:

    public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
    {
        StyleBundle bundleStyles = new StyleBundle("~/bundles/styles/");
        bundleStyles.Include(

Solution

  • I've used Application_PostAuthenticateRequest in Global.ascx.cs and made HttpContext.Current.User null. I've commented that line and the problem is solved.

    public class Global : HttpApplication
    {
        FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket;
        ExtendedUser extendedUser;
    
        protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           //cause of problem
            //HttpContext.Current.User = null;
            if (FormsAuthentication.CookiesSupported)
            {
                if (Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName] != null)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName].Value);
    
                        using (UnitOfWork unit = new UnitOfWork())
                        {
                            if (ticket.Name == SecurityHelpers.SuperAdminUserName)
                            {
                                SecurityHelpers.GetSuperAdminUser(unit);
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                extendedUser = SecurityHelpers.GetUser(unit, ticket);
                            }
                        }
    
                        if (extendedUser != null)
                        {
                            string[] roles = extendedUser.Group.GroupRoles.Select(a => a.Role.RoleName).ToArray();
                            HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(new MyFormsIdentity(extendedUser), roles);
                        }
                    }
                    catch (Exception)
                    {
                        // Decrypt method failed.
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                //  throw new HttpException("Cookieless Forms Authentication is not " +
                //                          "supported for this application.");
