Override the Correlation ID provider

[carlokok]

How does one override the correlation ID (instead of using the default one) provider?

[MicheleRezk]

You can create your own custom ICorrelationIdProvider and inject it in the services container, it will be something like this:
DefaultCorrelationIdProvider

Please let me know if you have any question

[carlokok]

Yeah that part I figured out. I just can't figure out how to put it inside the container. The current place this is registered is deep inside private methods.

[jenschude]

Just as a hint: services.UseCommercetools().AddSingleton(ICorrelationIdProvider, YourCorreletionIdProvider)

This should override the internally registered default provider

[carlokok]

So I tried:

            var ct = services.UseCommercetools(new ConfigurationWrapper(settings));
            ct.Services.AddSingleton<ICorrelationIdProvider, AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler>();

and

            services.UseCommercetools(new ConfigurationWrapper(settings));
            services.AddSingleton<ICorrelationIdProvider, AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler>();

As the result of UseCommercetools is an IHttpClientBuilder and doesn't seem to have AddSingleton.

Neither works. What am I missing?

[jenschude]

Ah sorry then it‘s

services.UseCommercetools;
services.AddSingleton

[carlokok]

That's what I tried and doesn't seem to ever create AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler or call it.

[MicheleRezk]

yes you have to configure your custom services before commercetools services, so move this line

services.AddSingleton<ICorrelationIdProvider, AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler>(); before UseCommercetools line, so your injected custom service will be retrieved first when it's needed.

Please try it and let me know if this works

[carlokok]

not here. But maybe I'm doing something wrong:

    public class AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler : ICorrelationIdProvider
    {
        public AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler()
        {

        }
        public string CorrelationId => Activity.Current?.Id ?? Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    }
...

            services.AddSingleton<ICorrelationIdProvider, AppInsightsCorrelationIDHandler>();
            services.UseCommercetools(new ConfigurationWrapper(settings));

[MicheleRezk]

I just merged the PR which has the fix for this issue, I believe you can now inject your custom correlationProvider service before UseCommercetools

[carlokok]

working perfectly! Thanks @MicheleRezk
