Hi!

when I run this code I get:
System.ObjectDisposedException: 'Cannot access a disposed object. A common cause of this error is disposing a context that was resolved from dependency injection and then later trying to use the same context instance elsewhere in your application. This may occur if you are calling Dispose() on the context, or wrapping the context in a using statement. If you are using dependency injection, you should let the dependency injection container take care of disposing context instances.'

On class DbInitializer : IDbInitializer line 38
Can you please help me!

@grumson
Check this:
aspnet/Identity#1065

@ych-szh You are amazing. Thank you! What exactly does using this scope achieve?

I was also having issues with System.ObjectDisposedException: 'Cannot access a disposed object.' and eventually went with a new approach that uses an IWebHost extension off of ASP.Net Core 2.x.

I get rid of System.ObjectDisposedException: 'Cannot access a disposed object.' when I change this:

_context.Database.EnsureCreated();

await _roleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole("Administrator"));

await _userManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationUser { UserName = user, Email = user, EmailConfirmed = true}, password);

to this:

_context.Database.Migrate();

_roleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole("Administrator")).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

_userManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationUser { UserName = user, Email = user, EmailConfirmed = true }, password).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

In DoTNet Core 2.0 when I try and run this I get an error on the user creation that says "Value cannot be Null". I am guessing the last line of the initializer:

await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(user), "Administrator");

has a problem finding the user, but I cannot figure out why. Any ideas?

@daveinyyc can you post rest of your code?

It was because the password listed in this code is not complex enough @Ibro, DotNet 2.0 adds some password complexity requirements obviously. Now I have fixed that and the user is creating, but i am getting the dispose error the other commentators mentioned. going to try the GetAwaiter().GetResult() statements like @Planche95 mentions in his comment

The example works if you change the interface to return type Task instead of type void.

namespace My.App.Data { public interface IDbInitializer { Task Initialize(); } }

Also use public async Task Initialize() inside DbInitializer.
