ASP.NET MVC Value cannot be null Parameter name: httpContext

Question

Hi There,

I have downloaded Storefront asp.net mvc application. When I try to run the application, I get following exception:

ArgumentNullException - Value cannot be null. Parameter name: httpContext

I just don't understand it. How do I fix this error?

Thanks

Answer 1

This is sort of odd. The HttpContext houses things such as request and response, cache, cookies, etc. If you are running the project from the perspective of a web site it generally would not be null. Is this error coming up when referencing it in the global? It is possible that you are trying to get to it before it exists in the requests life cycle. Can you post more of the error?

Answer 2

Make sure you're getting the latest source code Kona. PersonalizationController isn't part of the current codebase.

Answer 3

I also get this error because of using StructureMapControllerFactory instead of DefaultControllerFactory.

What might be the reason for this error ?

Note: i am not trying to build StoreFront, i am trying on my own sample project.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 4

I am also getting the same error when trying to run the StoreFront.

Server Error in '/' Application.
