Multiple actions matched

[bojanivancev]

AmbiguousActionException: Multiple actions matched. The following actions matched route data and had all constraints satisfied:

MyProject.WebApp.Controllers.HomeController.Index (MyProject.WebApp)
MyProject.WebApp.Areas.Admin.Controllers.HomeController.Index (MyProject.WebApp)

I am issuing this problem when i am using areas... i.e. admin and identity area on this project...
so far, my routes look like this

routes.MapRoute(
name: "areaRoute",
template: "{area}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}",
defaults: new { culture = LocalizationRouteDataHandler.DefaultCulture }
);

This was working before i put your code in place...

Do you have any suggestions?

thanks in advance

@bojanivancev Hi, I know I haven't tested it much with areas so that's probably the culprit that it just doesn't work with areas.

The error itself if I remember correctly is that there's 2 identical routes meaning the RouteDataConvention has created 2 identical routes, most likely because of the areas. Since you have 2 Home controllers for 2 different areas.

I'll try and find time to look into it and add Area support if I can.

But for now the best answer I can give you is that I don't think it's compatible with areas sadly. At least not if the controller shares the same name.
