AutoMapper.AutoMapperMappingException:类型'System.String'没有默认构造函数

Question

在最短的一两周内,我们的代码中出现了一个奇怪的错误.我试图找出映射失败的根本原因.最内在的异常本身令人费解:Type 'System.String' does not have a default constructor

我不明白异常告诉我的是什么.你能解释一下发生了什么,也许我可以解决这个错误吗？

映射器在通用方法中使用:

public TEntity UpdateWithHistory<TEntity>(TEntity entity, int? entityID, int? interviewID)
where TEntity : class
{
    var snapshot = _interviewContext.Find<TEntity>(entityID);

    // This is call that fails
    var history = Mapper.Map<TEntity, TEntity>(snapshot);

    _interviewHistory.Set<TEntity>().Add(history);
    MarkModified(entity);
    return Mapper.Map(entity, snapshot);
}

在上面的代码中,快照不是null.完整的例外情况:

提到的Comment类:

public class InterviewComment
{
    [Key]
    public int? InterviewCommentID { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("Interview")]
    public int? InterviewID { get; set; }

    [CodeType(CodeTypeEnum.CommentSection)]
    public int? CommentSectionCodeID { get; set; }

    [CodeType(CodeTypeEnum.CommentSource)]
    public int? CommentSourceCodeID { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Comment")]
    [StringLength(int.MaxValue)]
    public string Comment { get; set; }

    [Include]
    [Association("Interview_1-*_InterviewComment", "InterviewID", "InterviewID", IsForeignKey = true)]
    public virtual Interview Interview { get; set; }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    [ForeignKey("ModifiedByUser")]
    public virtual ApplicationUser ApplicationUser { get; set; }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public string UserName
    {
        get { return ApplicationUser != null ? ApplicationUser.GetDisplayName() : null; }
    }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public int CreatedByUser { get; set; }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public DateTime CreatedDateTime { get; set; }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public int ModifiedByUser { get; set; }

    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public DateTime ModifiedDateTime { get; set; }
}

我仍在审查最近的提交,以确定导致此问题的更改.任何对异常的见解都将非常感激.

错误的根本原因在于未共享的代码.我们有一个约定,为通过反射发现的特定类型配置映射.我们的算法错误地创建了一个map string,替换了AutoMapper提供的默认映射.

如果您看到错误Type 'System.String' does not have a default constructor,请确认您的代码没有为其创建地图string.
