Error: Injector is missing a rule........

I can't seem to figure out why I am getting the following error:

Error: Injector is missing a rule to handle injection into target [object IngredientInputMediator]. Target dependency: com.view.input::IngredientInput

The knowlege base states : "This error means that the injector has not been provided with an appropriate mapping to provide the dependency."

I have my view and mediator mapped in my context like so:
mediatorMap.mapView(IngredientInput, IngredientInputMediator);

and within my IngredientInputMediator I have the following:
[Inject] public var ingredient:IngredientInput;

I have does this several time throughout the rest of my app and all the others seem to work fine, does anyone have any possible ideas?

Thanks,

   Hey Joe,

   that's weird. Are you perhaps creating the view in some other way than
   the others? Normally, the view is automatically mapped in the injector
   during creation of the mediator. Since I have no clue about how that
   could possibly go wrong, my best guess is that you're creating the
   mediator manually, but are still using the injector to do so.

   If that's not the case, could you perhaps post some code that shows
   the problem? If you don't feel like showing the code to everyone, you
   can either make the ticket private in Tender, which would cause only
   you and us members of the support-staff to be able to see it, or mail
   it to me directly at [email blocked].

   cheers,
   till

   I figured it was weird. I don't have anything special going on. I have no issue posting the code, it is just an app I am building to learn Robot legs.

   Context.as
   override public function startup():void

       {
           trace("\n", "Log - " + this);
   
           mapViews();
           mapModels();
           mapCommands();
           mapServices();
   
           trace("     :: Dispatching ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE");
           dispatchEvent(new ContextEvent(ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE));
       }
   
   
       // - PRIVATE METHODS - //
       private function mapViews():void
       {
           trace("     :: Mapping Views to Mediators");
           //Inputs
           mediatorMap.mapView(MealItemInput,MealItemMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(ServingSizeInput, ServingSizeMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(IngredientAmountInput, IngredientAmountMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(CalorieCountInput, CalorieCountMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(FatCountInput, FatCountMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(IngredientInput, IngredientInputMediator);
   
           //Dropdowns
           mediatorMap.mapView(FoodCategoryInput, FoodCategoryMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(ChooseIngredientInput,ChooseIngredientMediator);
   
           //Layouts
           mediatorMap.mapView(IngredientListLayout, IngredientListMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(IngredientLayout, IngredientInputMediator);
   
           //buttons
           mediatorMap.mapView(AddIngredientButton, AddIngredientMediator);
           mediatorMap.mapView(NewIngredientButton, NewIngredientMediator);
       }

   Mmh, from these files I can't see any problems that would cause the
   symptoms you're experiencing.

   I'm afraid I still can't help you based on the information I currently
   have. I would still offer you to send me the entire project by private
   mail. If you don't want to do that, maybe I can tell you something
   useful if you post the entire stacktrace from the exception you're
   getting.

   I can't see anything here either (just as a sanity check for Till!)

   One question I have is whether the view is getting GC'd before the injection finishes... - though I'm not sure that's even possible, it depends whether Till has used his special weak references sauce in the injector at that point?

   Also willing to cast my eye over the stack trace here,

   Stray

   Thanks, Stray!

   GC can't be the culprit: A mapping response is always strongly
   referenced: How else would value and singleton mappings guarantee
   their responses?

   I thought as much - and the mediatorMap is using a hard reference... so... where on earth is it going? The mystery of the missing view...

   All seems to be working now, I deleted the reference to the IngredientInput component from my application, saved it and put it back. No more error. I should have just done this from the beginning, however I do appreciate you guys taking the time to look at my files in order to help me out.

   Thanks again,
   Joe

   No worries Joe - and thank goodness it was just a corrupt file somewhere - I was really scratching my head there.

    Thanks for the info - just as Stray, I'm glad you sorted it out and we
    didn't have to fix some odd corner-case.
