I am using WebAPI to return a collection of basic Supplier objects from RavenDb
The Supplier class is:
public class Supplier
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
}
The WebAPI method is:
[Queryable]
public IQueryable<Supplier> Get()
{
using (var session = _store.OpenSession())
{
return session.Query<Supplier>();
}
}
When I call http://localhost:8083/api/suppliers?$orderby=Id%20desc
or http://localhost:8083/api/suppliers?$filter=Title%20eq%20'Test'
everything works fine. However, whenever I use $top or $skip I get an exception:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Linq.Expressions.PropertyExpression' to type 'System.Linq.Expressions.ConstantExpression'.
If I return the whole collection into memory using ToList() it works fine, so it looks like a problem with the deferred execution of the query with RavenDb.
I am using the latest stable release of RavenDb.Client 2.0.2.2261.
Has anyone else had this problem or have a resolution to it?
The Stack Trace is:

I was able to repro your issue and was successfully able to validate my initial guess as to what could be going wrong. Try [Queryable(EnableConstantParameterization = false)]
instead of plain [Queryable]
. Late in the OData development cycle we made a perf change to make optimal use of EF automatic compilation of LINQ queries. We enable it by default as it is a safe change. Unfortunately, I think RavenDB LINQ provider is not able to understand the LINQ queries generated with this optimization. The code that I shared turns it off and produces vanilla LINQ queries.
