Mapper is not initialized when ProjectTo () is used

Question

I am using Automapper 5.2.0 in my project. When I use ProjectTo()in code, get this error:

The cartographer is not initialized. Call Initialize with the appropriate configuration. If you are trying to use mapper instances through a container or otherwise, make sure that you do not have calls to the static Mapper.Map methods, and if you use ProjectTo or UseAsDataSource extension methods, make sure you pass the appropriate IConfigurationProvider. example.

Service code

 public async Task<FreelancerProfileViewModel> GetFreelancerProfile()
    {
        var id = Guid.Parse(_identity.GetUserId());
        var model = await _freelancerProfiles
            .AsNoTracking()
            .Where(_ => _.User.Id == id)
            .ProjectTo<FreelancerProfileViewModel>()
            .FirstAsync();

     //  var viewmodel =  _mapper.Map<FreelancerProfileViewModel>(model);

        return model;
    }

Automapper Profile

   public class FreelancerDashbordProfile : Profile
{
    private readonly IIdentity _identity;
    public FreelancerDashbordProfile(IIdentity identity)
    {
        _identity = identity;
        var id = Guid.Parse(_identity.GetUserId());
        CreateMap<FreelancerProfile, FreelancerProfileViewModel>()
        .ForMember(_ => _.DoingProjectCount,
            __ => __.MapFrom(_ => _.Projects.Count(project => project.ProjectState == ProjectState.Doing)))

        .ForMember(_ => _.EndProjectCount,
            __ => __.MapFrom(_ => _.Projects.Count(project => project.ProjectState == ProjectState.End)))

        .ForMember(_ => _.ProjectCount, __ => __.MapFrom(_ => _.Projects.Count));

    }

}

I also use StructureMap for IoC

AutoMapperRegistery

   public AutoMapperRegistery()
    {

        this.Scan(scan =>
        {
            scan.TheCallingAssembly();
            scan.AssemblyContainingType<SkillProfile>(); // for other asms, if any.
            scan.WithDefaultConventions();

            scan.AddAllTypesOf<Profile>().NameBy(item => item.FullName);
        });

        this.For<MapperConfiguration>().Singleton().Use("MapperConfig", ctx =>
        {
            var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
            {
                cfg.CreateMissingTypeMaps = true; // It will connect 'Person' & 'PersonViewModel' automatically.
                addAllCustomAutoMapperProfiles(ctx, cfg);
            });
            config.AssertConfigurationIsValid();

            return config;
        });

        this.For<IMapper>()
            .Singleton()
            .Use(ctx => ctx.GetInstance<MapperConfiguration>().CreateMapper(ctx.GetInstance));


    }

I See Other Question and release , but did not solve my problem.

Answer 1

MappingConfiguration ProjectTo.

public async Task<FreelancerProfileViewModel> GetFreelancerProfile()
{
    var id = Guid.Parse(_identity.GetUserId());
    var model = await _freelancerProfiles
        .AsNoTracking()
        .Where(_ => _.User.Id == id)
        .ProjectTo<FreelancerProfileViewModel>(_mapper.Configuration)
        .FirstAsync();

 //  var viewmodel =  _mapper.Map<FreelancerProfileViewModel>(model);

    return model;
}

.NET Core 2.1 (AutoMapper 7.0.1) ConfigurationProvider.

1) AutoMapper

2) :

private readonly IMapper  _mapper;
public SomeController(ApplicationDbContext dbContext, IMapper mapper)
{ _mapper = mapper; }

3) ConfigurationProvider :

 ApplicationDbContext.SomeEntities.ProjectTo<SomeModel>(_mapper.ConfigurationProvider)
