HandleRecursiveRequest(Object, IEnumerable<Object>)

Handles a recursive request.

Declaration
public object HandleRecursiveRequest(object request, IEnumerable<object> recordedRequests)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Object request

The request causing the recursion.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Object> recordedRequests

Previously recorded, and yet unhandled, requests.
Returns
Type Description
System.Object

An object intended to break the recursion.
Remarks

This method is called when AutoFixture detects an infinite recursion. The request is the request that triggered the recursion detection; recordedRequests contains all previous, but still unhandled requests: the current call stack, if you will.

This implementation always throws a descriptive exception, instructing the user that the requested type contains a circular reference, and that this is bad API design. The message also contains instructions on how to move on.

Exceptions
Type Condition
ObjectCreationException

Always.
