HttpControllerContext.Configuration is sometimes null during Content negotiation

问题

We are setting up a ASP.NET 4.6.2 Web Api host and noticing that some requests fail because of the following error:

HttpControllerContext.Configuration must not be null.

I've been unable to reproduce the issue and wanted to ask if anybody could steer me in the right direction?

This is the stack trace:

[0] System.InvalidOperationException "HttpControllerContext.Configuration must not be null."

回答1:

A similar error occurred in my tests when adding headers to a BadRequestErrorMessageResult. The fix only required to initialize the controller's Configuration. ...and subsequently initialize the Request.

So my test's setup ended up looking something like

public class FooControllerTest
{
    private FooController _sut;

    [Setup]
    public void Setup()
    {
        _sut = new FooController();
        _sut.Configuration = new System.Web.Http.HttpConfiguration();
        _sut.Request = new System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage();
    }
}

Hope that helps.
