I can't seem to get ninject to automatically create an instance of ILogger. I have log4net set up in my tests application and configured properly but for some reason when I instantiate the IHouseholdRepository it can't work out the ILogger.
according to this post, I have done everything i need to do: How To Properly Configure Ninject.Extensions.Logging.Log4Net in my MVC3 project
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<IHouseholdRepository>().To<HouseholdRepository>();
var repo = kernel.Get<IHouseholdRepository>();
var hh = repo.Find(123456);
}
public HouseholdRepository(ILogger logger, string username)
{
_logger = logger;
_username = username;
_dbContext = new HouseholdDbContext(logger); // I want to couple my HouseholdDBContect to my repository as it's not going to work with any other DbContext
}
The error I'm getting is:
Test method Rxxx.Tests.LoggingTester.TestMethod1 threw exception: Ninject.ActivationException: Error activating ILogger No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable. Activation path: 2) Injection of dependency ILogger into parameter logger of constructor of type HouseholdRepository 1) Request for IHouseholdRepository
Suggestions: 1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for ILogger. 2) If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has been loaded into the kernel. 3) Ensure you have not accidentally created more than one kernel. 4) If you are using constructor arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors parameter name. 5) If you are using automatic module loading, ensure the search path and filters are correct.
