TinyIoC doesn't allow to override IReactEnvironment with AsPerRequestSingleton lifetime

[asmagin]

I'm trying to override react components via providing a new implementation of IReactEnvironment.

in order to do that, I've created library "*.React" and added AssemblyRegistration class there.

    public class AssemblyRegistration : IAssemblyRegistration
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets the IoC container. Try to avoid using this and always use constructor injection.
        /// This should only be used at the root level of an object heirarchy.
        /// </summary>
        public static TinyIoCContainer Container
        {
            get { return TinyIoCContainer.Current; }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Registers standard components in the React IoC container
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="container">Container to register components in</param>
        public void Register(TinyIoCContainer container)
        {
            // One instance shared for the whole app
            container.Register<IReactEnvironment, ReduxEnvironment>().AsPerRequestSingleton();
        }
    }

The problem is when I'm running this code I'm getting following error.

If I edit this code directly in React.Core or comment out original registration for IReactEnvironment site is working fine.

Hmm, interesting... Could you please post the full stack trace?

here is what I've got

Ran across this error today in my mixed MVC + ASP.Net app but with React.Initializer.Initialize(ReactConfig.AsPerRequestSingleton);

Solved it by relocating my item storing code from ReactConfig.cs' configure() to application_start() in global.asax.cs so I had an HttpContext.Current
