StackOverflowException

I have TypeGen 2.1.1 package installed and am using version 2.1.1 of the CLI.

I created the GenerationSpec below and added it to the root of my project.

    public class MyGenerationSpec : GenerationSpec
    {
        public MyGenerationSpec()
        {
            AddEnum<FarmDTOs.Loss.Causes>();
        }
    }

FarmDTOs.Loss.Causes is an enum inside of a class which resides in a Nuget package:

namespace FarmDTOs
{
    public class Loss
    {
        public string Id;
        public DateTime Date;
        public Causes Cause;
        public int Amount;

        public Loss();

        public enum Causes
        {
            Unspecified = 0,
            Earthquake = 1,
            Fire = 2,
        }
    }
}

When I run dotnet typegen generate I get the following messages:

Generating files for project "."...
Process is terminating due to StackOverflowException.

Any ideas as to what would be causing this?

That looks strange. I'll try to replicate and I'll let you know here when I manage to make a fix. Is the enum the only thing you specify in MyGenerationSpec? Or maybe you also have something that uses FarmDTOs.Loss as a property type (or FarmDTOs.Loss itself) etc.?

[ryanbuening]

Yes. The enum was the only thing I had in MyGenerationSpec. I also tried AddClass<FarmDTOs.Loss>(); and received the same error: Process is terminating due to StackOverflowException.

[jburzynski]

Turned out this error was due to a typo I made (facepalm)! I've uploaded TypeGen 2.1.2 and this should be fixed.

BTW, I haven't tested TypeGen with nested types. If you're using GenerationSpec it should be fine, because you just list the types you want to be generated, but I'm not sure how it would work if there were attributes on nested types. I'll review how it works and make changes in the next release if necessary to make TypeGen work with nested types.

Awesome. Thanks for the fix and info.
