Intercept action controller with arguments in mvc 5 with lightinject interception

Question

I'm not able to intercept a controller action with arguments. I'm using Asp.Net MVC 5 with LightInject and LightInject.Interception. I receive the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'System.Web.Mvc.CustomModelBinderAttribute[]'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'System.Web.Mvc.CustomModelBinderAttribute[]'.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

My code is (I do not insert views because are meaningless):

// Global.asax
namespace TestMVCInjection
{
    using System;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using System.Web.Routing;
    using LightInject;
    using LightInject.Interception;

    using TestMVCInjection.Controllers;

    public class MvcApplication : HttpApplication
    {
        public void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            //FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
            //RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
            RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

            RegisterLightInject();
        }

        private void RegisterLightInject()
        {
            var container = new ServiceContainer();
            container.RegisterControllers();
            container.EnableMvc();
            container.Intercept((ServiceRegistration c) => c.ServiceType == typeof(HomeController), (IServiceFactory c) => (IInterceptor)new DebugInterceptor());
        }
    }

    public class DebugInterceptor : IInterceptor
    {
        public object Invoke(IInvocationInfo invocationInfo)
        {
            object returnValue = null;
            // Verifico se devo intercettare il metodo
            var mi = invocationInfo.Method;
            var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
            string timestamp = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fff \"GMT\"zzz");
            string method = $"{invocationInfo.Method.DeclaringType.Name}.{invocationInfo.Method.Name}";
            try
            {
                var parNames = invocationInfo.Method.GetParameters().Select(d => $"{d.Name}: {d.ParameterType}").ToList();
                var parValues = invocationInfo.Arguments.Select(c => $"{c}").ToList();
                string parameters = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, parNames.Select((n, i) => $"{parNames[i]} = {parValues[i]}"));
                string message = $"{nameof(timestamp).ToUpper()}={timestamp}{Environment.NewLine}{nameof(method).ToUpper()}={method}{Environment.NewLine}{nameof(parameters).ToUpper()}{Environment.NewLine}{parameters}";
                Debug.WriteLine(message);
                returnValue = invocationInfo.Proceed();
                message = $"TOOK {nameof(sw.ElapsedMilliseconds)} = {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds} for returning {returnValue} for method {method}";
                Debug.WriteLine(message);
                return returnValue;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                string message = $"Took {nameof(sw.ElapsedMilliseconds)} = {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds} for throwing an exception method {method}";
                Debug.WriteLine(message);
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
}

My Controller is:

namespace TestMVCInjection.Controllers
{
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.Web.Mvc;

    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public virtual ActionResult Index(string id)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("-----> INDEX START <-----");
            var response = View((object)id);
            Debug.WriteLine("-----> INDEX END <-----");
            return response;
        }
    }
}

Hope someone can direct me to the right way.

Posted an issue on github repository. It has been corrected some hours ago (LightInject.Inteception 2.0.1).
