config factory not found: {configType.FullName}

Error message

config factory not found: {configType.FullName}

What it means

Thrown by GetConfigFactory when no factory was ever registered for the requested configType. LoadOneConfig resolved the type and its ConfigProcessAttribute (Code), then asked for a factory, but ConfigFactoryGroupCollection has no entry keyed by that Type. This means the type is recognized as a code-config but no IConfigFactory targets it.

Solutions

1. Ensure an IConfigFactory with ConfigType == the named category exists, is concrete, and is in a scanned assembly.
2. If using codegen, regenerate factories for the new category.
3. Confirm the factory's assembly is included in CodeTypes' type scan.

Example fix

// before — category declared but no factory
[ConfigProcess(ConfigType.Code)]
public class NewConfigCategory : ASingleton, IConfig { ... }
// (no NewConfigCategoryFactory anywhere)

// after — add the factory
public class NewConfigCategoryFactory : IConfigFactory
{
    public Type ConfigType => typeof(NewConfigCategory);
    public object Create() => new NewConfigCategory();
}

// Pre-flight: ensure every Code config type has a registered factory
var factoryTypes = allTypes.Where(t => typeof(IConfigFactory).IsAssignableFrom(t) && !t.IsAbstract && !t.IsInterface);
var factoryTargets = factoryTypes.Select(t => ((IConfigFactory)Activator.CreateInstance(t)).ConfigType).ToHashSet();
foreach (var ct in GetConfigTypes().Where(IsCodeConfig))
    if (!factoryTargets.Contains(ct)) Log.Error($"no factory for code config {ct.FullName}");

static bool HasFactory(Type configType, IEnumerable<Type> factoryTypes) =>
    factoryTypes.Any(ft => ((IConfigFactory)Activator.CreateInstance(ft)).ConfigType == configType);

When it happens

Trigger: A config category type carries ConfigProcessAttribute(Code) and reaches LoadOneConfig, but CreateConfigFactories never found/registered an IConfigFactory whose ConfigType equals it. Either the factory class is missing, was filtered out (abstract/interface), or its ConfigType points elsewhere.

Common situations: A new config category was added with its attribute but the matching factory wasn't generated; the factory exists in an assembly not scanned by CodeTypes; the factory is abstract and was skipped by the IsAbstract filter (line 95).
