Better exception message for invalid cast in EntityMultiValueObjectTypeSchemaValidator.CreateValue

Adam van Vliet 14 years ago • updated by anonymous 9 years ago • 3

A better exception message should be provided for invalid casts in EntityMultiValueObjectTypeSchemaValidator.CreateValue.

When the data type in the connector configuration does not match the data type in FIM, on export, when the value is created the below exception will be thrown.

EntityMultiValueObjectTypeSchemaValidator.cs:line 62 refers to the line where the value is cast to IEnumerable<object>.

A better exception message should be provided.

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Unify.Framework.MultiValue`1[Unify.Framework.DistinguishedNameValue]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Object]'.

Please have a look at this item. Will require creating new unit tests (in the base unit test classes).

Will need to make the method EntityMultiValueObjectTypeSchemaValidator.CreateValue more powerful, eg:

public override IValue CreateValue(object dataValue)
{
	//Value is of correct type when saving
	if (dataValue is TValue)
		return (TValue) dataValue;

	//Create a multivalue when importing
	var dataValueAsEnumerable = (IEnumerable) dataValue;

	IList<T> values = (from object item in dataValueAsEnumerable
					   select (TValueBase) item
					   into castItem select _ValueConversion(castItem)).ToList();
	var convertedValue = new MultiValue<T>
	{
		Value =  values
	};

	return convertedValue;
}

And pass in the type that is mentioned in the exception to test. If that doesn't work straight away, please let me know.

Thanks.
