How to create a DataPortalException object with HttpErrorInfo

[oleksandr-yevchenko]

Hi,
I am writing unit tests for handling exceptions in my solution using CSLA 5.4.1. And I need to replicate the behaviour of the app when it is handling DataPortalException.

So, I would like to create a DataPortalException using the constructor:

public DataPortalException(Csla.Server.Hosts.HttpChannel.HttpErrorInfo info)
      : base(info.Message)
    {
      this.ErrorInfo = info;
    }

When I create it this way:
var ex = new DataPortalException(new HttpErrorInfo());

I am getting the error hint on new HttpErrorInfo():
CSLA0011: CSLA business objects should not be created outside of a ObjectFactory instance.

Some research:
1. var errorInfo = DataPortal.Create<HttpErrorInfo>(new ValidationException("The object is not valid"));
throws Csla.DataPortalException: 'DataPortal.Create failed (Invalid operation - create not allowed)'

2. Disabling the warning works but I do not like writing the code like this:

#pragma warning disable CSLA0011
            HttpErrorInfo errorInfo = new HttpErrorInfo(new ValidationException("The object is not valid"));
#pragma warning restore CSLA0011

Thanks and cheers,
Oleksandr

You can safely use pragma in this case. You are encountering a case where the analyzer is catching the creation of a "business type", when in fact you are creating a type that isn't intended to be created outside CSLA at all (other than for testing).
