Castle.Windsor.Validations

Plugin for validation of dependencies in given Castle.Windsor.IWindsorContainer and Castle.Windsor.IWindsorInstaller objects.

What for?

When heavily using the Castle.Windsor IWindsorContainer/IWindsorInstaller, it's easy to lose track of dependencies and miss one or two. The Castle.Windsor.Validations provides extension methods for validating that all of the dependencies in a IWindsorContainer/IWindsorInstaller can be resloved with just one line of code (!!!).

Before you say "it can't happe to me", these are the cases I came accross so far where we missed dependencies:

1. While refactoring a class was split, but the new half was not added to the installer.
2. A new guy added another dependency to a constructor and didn't add it to the installer.
3. An interface was added to an existing class which was already in the installer, but the installer regestration was not corrected.
4. We added caching with CacheMeIfYouCan (definitelly recommend) but made verious mistakes in the factories in the installer.
5. More 😛

How to install?

The easiest way would be to just install the NuGet package through the Visual Studio Package Manager, or to run the following in the Package Manager Console: Install-Package Castle.Windsor.Validations

How to use?

[Fact]
public void TestIocContainer()
{
  var container = new WindsorContainer().Install(new MyMainWindsorInstaller());
  container.ValidateAllDependenciesResolvable();
}

Please tell me if there are any issues/problems/bus/requests! 😄

Have fun!
