I would like some assistance on how to troubleshoot a mappingexception that provides no detail. Er, OK — there’s plenty of detail just not a class or property.

For starters, I just upgraded to NH3.1 and FNH 1.2. I have an class that I use to build a SQLite database for NHibernate (3.1.0.4000). I am having trouble trying to isolate the fluent-nhibernate(1.2.0.712) mapping that is the problem.

The error is:

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'NHibernate.Type.SerializableType' to type 'NHibernate.Type.IIdentifierType'.
at NHibernate.Engine.UnsavedValueFactory.GetUnsavedIdentifierValue(String unsavedValue, IGetter identifierGetter, IType identifierType, ConstructorInfo constructor)

Guid? What Guid? I don’t have a Guid as an identifier anywhere in my mappings. I do have one Guid in a class as a property — I use the guid to batch records for processing by a service; not an identifier.

I get the error on this line where I instantiate an in-memory SQLiteConfiguration using fluent-nhibernate (1.2.0.712):

var sessionFactory = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();

I turned on log4net basic configuration to log to a file, but can’t find any errors. Here is the tail of that log:

Log4net didn’t provide any insight, is there another way I can debug this exception to reveal maybe the class or property?

Thanks

EDIT
I use an IIdConvention for setting up my primary keys and ahem my pants are on fire: I use Elmah, which has a GUID for ErrorId. I will see if I can test the incoming instance in my convention for the proper UnsavedValue set for integers versus a Guid for Elmah. I will test this tomorrow and post the answer.

    I just removed the Elmah from test mapping and it builds fine now.

    Engine.UnsavedValueFactory.GetUnsavedIdentifierValue is throwing the error because 0 is not a valid default value for a GUID.

    I had a Fluent NHibernate ID convention that was previously setting all IDs with a default value of 0, and this broke with the change from 2.* to 3.1.0.4000.
