Unit of work with .Net Core registered in Autofac throws System.ObjectDisposedException


I tried in scope of one HttpRequest call through Unit of Work my repository twice, but in second time I have got an System.ObjectDisposedException exception. Can anybody help me?

My DBContext

    private readonly string connectionString;

    public SwapDealContext(IConfigurationManager configurationManager)
        : base()
    {
        this.connectionString = configurationManager.DbConnectionString;
    }

    public SwapDealContext(DbContextOptions<SwapDealContext> options)
        : base(options)
    {
    }

    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        if (!optionsBuilder.IsConfigured)
        {
            optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(this.connectionString);
        }
    }
    public virtual DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }

AutoFac Module:

public class DataAccessAutoFacModule : Module
{
    protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
        Assembly assembly = typeof(DataAccessAutoFacModule).Assembly;
        base.Load(builder);
        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(assembly).AsSelf().AsImplementedInterfaces().InstancePerLifetimeScope();

        builder.RegisterType<UnitOfWork.UnitOfWork>().As<IUnitOfWork>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();
        builder.RegisterType<UnitOfWorkFactory>().As<IUnitOfWorkFactory>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();
    }
}

Interfaces:

public interface IUnitOfWorkFactory
{
    IUnitOfWork CreateUnitOfWork();
}
public interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable
{        
    Task<int> SaveChangesAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken));

    T GetRepository<T>()
        where T : class;
}

Implemantations:

public class UnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
    private readonly DbContext dbContext;
    private readonly Dictionary<string, object> repositories;
    private readonly ILifetimeScope lifetimeScope;

    public UnitOfWork(
        DbContext dbContext,
        ILifetimeScope lifetimeScope)
    {
        this.dbContext = dbContext;
        this.lifetimeScope = lifetimeScope;
        this.repositories = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    }        

    public void Dispose()
    {
        this.dbContext.Dispose();
        this.repositories.Clear();
    }

    public async Task<int> SaveChangesAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken))
    {
        try
        {
            int changes = await this.dbContext.SaveChangesAsync(cancellationToken);
            return changes;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {                
            throw;
        }
    }        

    public T GetRepository<T>()
        where T : class
    {
        var typeName = typeof(T).Name;

        if (!this.repositories.ContainsKey(typeName))
        {
            T instance = this.lifetimeScope.Resolve<T>(new TypedParameter(typeof(DbContext), this.dbContext));
            this.repositories.Add(typeName, instance);
        }

        return (T)this.repositories[typeName];
    }
}
public class UnitOfWorkFactory : IUnitOfWorkFactory
{
    private readonly ILifetimeScope lifetimeScope;
    private readonly SwapDealContext context;

    public UnitOfWorkFactory(
        SwapDealContext context,
        ILifetimeScope lifetimeScope)
    {
        this.context = context;
        this.lifetimeScope = lifetimeScope;
    }

    public IUnitOfWork CreateUnitOfWork()
    {
        return new UnitOfWork(this.context, this.lifetimeScope);
    }
}

Service:

    public async Task<IList<UserDetails>> GetAllUsers()
    {
        using (var uow = this.unitOfWorkFactory.CreateUnitOfWork())
        {
            var userRepo = uow.GetRepository<IUserRepository>();

            var result = await userRepo.GetAllUsers();

            return Mapper.Map<List<UserDetails>>(result);
        }
    }

Controller

public class UserController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly IUserService userService;
    private readonly ILogger logger;
    public UserController(IUserService userService, ILogger logger)
    {
        this.userService = userService;
        this.logger = logger;
    }
    [HttpGet]
    [Route("users")]
    [ProducesResponseType(typeof(IList<UserDetails>), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
    [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError)]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetUsersAnync()
    {
        try
        {
            var users = await userService.GetAllUsers();
            var users2 = await userService.GetAllUsers();

            if (!users.Any())
            {
                return NotFound($"No one user were found");
            }

            return Ok(users);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            logger.ErrorFormat("Could not get users due to: {0}", ex, ex.Message);
            return StatusCode(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError, ex.Message);
        }
    }

}

So, when I call GetAllUsers method twice in Controller I have got System.ObjectDisposedException.


Solution

  • The reason you're seeing the context disposed is because you are disposing it.

    If we trace through...

    • Every type you're registering with Autofac appears to be registered InstancePerLifetimeScope. That means you'll get one per lifetime scope. In ASP.NET Core, that equates to one instance per request (basically).
    • The controller will get an IUserService in its controller. We don't see what the whole IUserService looks like, but we do see GetAllUsers in the example code.
    • GetAllUsers wraps the operation in a using statement - it creates, and then disposes the unit of work when it's done.
    • In the constructor of UnitOfWork you pass in the DbContext - the one instance you get that request, and then...
    • In UnitOfWork.Dispose you dispose of the DbContext. That happens at the end of GetAllUsers because of that using statement.
        public async Task<IList<UserDetails>> GetAllUsers()
        {
            // The factory creates the unit of work here...
            using (var uow = this.unitOfWorkFactory.CreateUnitOfWork())
            {
                var userRepo = uow.GetRepository<IUserRepository>();
    
                var result = await userRepo.GetAllUsers();
    
                return Mapper.Map<List<UserDetails>>(result);
                // At the end of this using statement, the unit of work gets disposed
                // and in UnitOfWork.Dispose() you dispose of the DbContext.
            }
        }
    

    If you want to call the operation twice, you either need to:

    • Not dispose of the context at the end of the unit of work; OR
    • Provide every unit of work with its own database context.
