Created Issue: RazorEngine and specials characters [910]

Daimakaicho — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:02:46 GMT

Hello there,

I'm using your project in an application where my users are able to generate bunch of code through an user-friendly GUI. Even it's work really fine, I just got a little "bug" (well, I know it's not a real bug) with specials characters like thoses ones : ' " < > # etc. Thoses characters are interpreted like in HTML-code (< > etc.) like form, however it's not an awaited behavior.

So, here's my question : is there a way inside RazorEngine to disable this behavior, or should I handle with a method it in my template ?

Thanks for reading. Please excuse me for potential english mistakes.

Check this link http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc4-release-notes#_Toc303253815 and look at the "Installing ASP.NET MVC 4 breaks ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM applications" section. This problem seems to be caused by VS2012 referencing the wrong versions of certain libraries. In particular, MVC 3 uses Razor 1 and MVC 4 uses Razor 2. If this is not explicitly specified in the csproj, .NET references the latest version by default. I had the same problem and as well as modifying the csproj as per the above link, I also changed System.Web.WebPages, System.Web.Helpers, System.Web.Razor and System.Web.WebPages.Razor to use version 1 in the web.config. Now my MVC 3 site works correctly.

Created Issue: Error when using a base template in the global namespace [850]

IanNewson — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:14:28 GMT

Create a base template in the global namespace, e.g.

public class MyTemplateBase : TemplateBase {}

Configure razor engine to use this template:
Razor.SetTemplateService(new TemplateService(new TemplateServiceConfiguration()
{
BaseTemplateType = typeof (MyTemplateBase<>)
}));

No template will be able to be compiled until the base template is put into a specific namespace.

could you please tell me what is the best way to add caching, so it behaves like normal asp mvc views, with auto invalidation of the cache?

thanks in advanced.

Created Issue: Does not contain a definition for 'First' [742]

Widescreen — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:37:04 GMT

I am trying to introduce Linq extensions into a project I am using and continue to get the error:

'System.Collections.Generic.List<MyCustomType>' does not contain a definition for 'First'

when executing the .First() extension method.

I've tried updated various web.config settings per the documentation, but can't seem to remedy the error.

I did interrogate TemplateService _config private variable and it appears the these three namespace are configured:

System
System.Collections.Generic
System.Linq

but no changes I make to web.config seem to alter that configuration - so I may be chasing a rabbit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards and thanks for this excellent project.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: tomgallard **

I've spent the best part of today digging through the code to try and work out why this is happening.

It seems to be, that RazorEngine generates an assembly dynamically, which uses the template and Model class.

As your Model class is defined in your TestConsoleApp.dll, this dynamic assembly references TestConsoleApp.dll

When the runtime tries to instantiate the dynamic assembly, it cannot find TestConsoleApp.dll (as this dll is not in the search path for the application), and fails.

I have found two possible solutions:

1.) Use an anonymous type for your model e.g.:
var model = new { Prop1 = "x", Prop2 = "y" };

2.) Hook into the AppDomain's AssemblyResolve event and point it to the right directory:

AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
currentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(LoadAssembly);

public Assembly LoadAssembly(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
{
rn Assembly.LoadFrom("..\..\..\TestConsoleApp\bin\Debug\" + AssemblyName(args.Name).Name + ".dll");
}

Commented Issue: Razor and JavaScript parsing issue [721]

schalkvanwyk — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:02:18 GMT

Created a new MVC4 web application using the mobile template. I added a controller based on a EF entity which resulted in some code being generated and a view which has JavaScript representing the client API at the end. The JavaScript contains a method "deleteRow" which gets rendered incorrectly by the Razor view engine.

The problem seems to be that the Razor view engine does not recognise the inserted commands (e.g. "'@Html.Raw(Url.Action("Delete", new { id = "__ID__" }))'") under certain conditions. I have attached the full view file.

The method is as follow:

function deleteRow(row) {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this row?')) {
$.post('@Html.Raw(Url.Action("Delete", new { id = "__ID__" }))'.replace(/__ID__/, row.data('pkey')))
.done(function() {
row.remove();
totalRowCount--;
})
.fail(function() {
alert('Row deletion failed.');
});
}
}

Changing the method to the following results in the view being rendered correctly:

function deleteRow(row) {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this row?')) {
var url = '@Html.Raw(Url.Action("Delete", new { id = "__ID__" }))';
$.post(url.replace(/__ID__/, row.data('pkey')))
.done(function() {
row.remove();
totalRowCount--;
})
.fail(function() {
alert('Row deletion failed.');
});
}
}

Commented Issue: Calling Run or Parse with Interface or Abstract Type [412]

chrisvenus — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:28:56 GMT

When calling the Razor.Parse or Razor.Run with an object that is an interface or an abstract class, it does not use the generic type of the object. Can you expose another method for this, or handle appropriately?

We had to do something like this to get it to work:

return (string) typeof (Razor).GetMethods()
.Where(m => m.Name == "Run" && m.ContainsGenericParameters)
.First()
.MakeGenericMethod(model.GetType())
.Invoke(null, new[] {(object) model, compiledTemplateName});

Sample Test:
[Test]
public void Renders_correctly_when_model_is_supplied_as_base_type_or_interface()
{
_templateLoader.Stub(m => m.Load("ParentTemplate")).Return("Parent Template -- @Include(\"ChildTemplate\", Model.Val2) --");
_templateLoader.Stub(m => m.Load("ChildTemplate")).Return("Child Template and @Model");

var message = new MailMessage("test1@glgroup.com", "Test2@glgroup.com", "Test3@glgroup.com", "");

try
{
_emailer.SendEmail(message, (IEmailModel)new TestEmailModel(), "ParentTemplate");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
if (e is TemplateCompilationException)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", ((TemplateCompilationException)e).Errors));
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
}

Assert.That(message.Body, Is.EqualTo("Parent Template -- Child Template and It's a val2 --"));
}
Comments: ** Comment from web user: chrisvenus **

I've encountered a similar problem with a base class trying to pass "this" into the Razor.Parse method.

From what I can see the problem stems from the fact that the Parse method (and I assume the run method) use typeof(T) to get the type rather than model.GetType() so it binds to the compile time type (eg the interface, abstract class, etc.) rather than the actual runtime type of the object.

I'm not familiar enough with Razor to know if there is a good reason for this or if it is just a bug. In general though I would have thought youw ant to use the specific runtime type - if the template expects the compiletime type then it will still work if it expects the runtime type then it will work.

Conversely as it currently stands if the template expects the compile time type then it works but if it expects the runtime type then it throws errors.

It looks like it should be easy enough to fix though I guess the harder bit is updating all the tests that are run to make sure it does the right thing to include this new scenario. :)

Commented Issue: The type or namespace name 'RazorEngine' could not be found [713]

degree451 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 06:59:50 GMT

I keep getting this error no matter what I try. I thought it was because my project was using a client profile but its not. Its set to 4.0. I'm using the 3.0.8.0 beta assembly that I installed using nuget. Is that assembly built using the "client profile" or the normal profile?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: degree451 **

Just downloaded the source and my assumption was correct. the 2.1 version and 3.0 are both using the client profile which was causing this error. Manually compiled both against normal 4.0 framework and all is well now.

WStealth — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:39:48 GMT

I've started getting this in my web application that makes use of RazorEngine. It started after an update in which I copied in some new DLLs. It's not always the same DLL it's failing on - sometimes it's one of my library DLLs and sometimes it's the web app's DLL. There are not multiple copies of the DLLs. The template has previously been parsed and compiled (prior to the app restart from updating the /bin folder). Do the cached copies of the compiled templates get persisted somewhere that would cause problems when an app restart occurs?

toddlucas — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:12:40 GMT

Does the _Layout property serve the same purpose as WebPageBase.Layout in MVC? If so, then shouldn't it be named without the underscore prefix?

There is a convention of the default layout being _Layout.cshtml (and prefixing layouts and partials with an underscore, in general). Is this just a carryover from this pattern?

I only suggest this because

@{
_Layout = "_Layout.cshtml";
}

looks a little strange.
