Dynamic is not playing nice with EF+

[hdusten]

Good day,

I happened upon an obscure error today. I currently cannot use Dynamic and EF+ side by side using EF Core 3.1.

EDIT: Currently utilizing the latest versions of both libraries from nuget.

I get the following error:

"Oops! Select projection are not supported in EF+ Query IncludeFilter For more information, contact us: info@zzzprojects.com"

The interesting element here is that I'm not explicitly using the IncludeFilter method from EF+

Here is a short version of what will cause the issue to occur inside my repository:

//expression where filter is Expression<Func<T, bool>> utilizing base EF Core framework ("ex. (x => x,Id == Id))
query = query.Where(filter);

//string expression where include is runtime value utilizes EF+ (ex. "Project.Image")
query = query.IncludeOptimizedByPath(include);

//string expression where orderby is runtime value utilizes Linq.Dynamic (ex. "Created desc")
query = query.OrderBy(orderby);

These calls happen in linear succession.

Is there anything I can try to get around this and or is there a fix that can be built for this. I wanted to reach out before attempting to circumvent or workaround this issue.

Thank you.

We may be able to close this issue out. I've uncovered that reordering the execution of the API calls seems to alleviate the collision between libraries.

You must utilize the Dynamic library prior to Utilizing the EF+ library of EF+ gets confused about what's going on.

This whole issue may be able to be copied over to the EF+ library.

Hello @hdusten ,

Thank you for reporting,

In this case, we will probably close it as we are not sure how we can really fix it (as you noticed, both libraries don't always work well together).

Best Regards,

Jon
