FluentValidation: AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<T> results in IValidator<T> not registered

Question

I'm trying to use FluentValidation to validate based on object.GetType() rather than knowing the type at compile time by injecting IValidator<T>, but I am getting null values instead of a valid validator.

Organisation + Validator

namespace ConsoleApp44
{
    internal class Organisation
    {
        public string? Name { get; set; }
    }

    internal class OrganisationValidator: AbstractValidator<Organisation>
    {
        public OrganisationValidator()
        {
            RuleFor(x => x.Name).NotEmpty();
        }
    }
}

Console app that consumes it

var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<OrganisationValidator>();
services.Add(ServiceDescriptor.Scoped(typeof(IValidatorFactory), typeof(ServiceProviderValidatorFactory)));

var sp = services.BuildServiceProvider();
var org = new Organisation();
var validationFactory = sp.GetRequiredService<IValidatorFactory>(); // Not null
var validator = validationFactory.GetValidator(org.GetType()); // Null
validator = validationFactory.GetValidator<Organisation>(); // Null
validator = sp.GetRequiredService<IValidator<Organisation>>(); // Exception, IValidator<Organisation> not registered

Answer 1

It seems the executing assembly is diff than from the assembly your validator belongs to

Try changing this line

services.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<OrganisationValidator>();

to

services.AddValidatorsFromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

Please let me know if that resolves your issue
