Ninject Bootstrapper not working with UseNancy() Owin AppBuilderExtensions

[abpatel]

I am trying to use Nancy in a console hosted Owin app. My Bootstrapper and the main startup of Nancy are defined as follows:

//NOTE: kernel is a static variable and is the ninject StandardKernel

    public class Bootstrapper : NinjectNancyBootstrapper
    {
        protected override IKernel GetApplicationContainer()
        {
            kernel.Load<FactoryModule>();
            return kernel;
        }

        protected override void ConfigureConventions(NancyConventions nancyConventions)
        {
            base.ConfigureConventions(nancyConventions);
            nancyConventions.StaticContentsConventions.Add(
                StaticContentConventionBuilder.AddDirectory("scripts", @"scripts", "js")
                );
            nancyConventions.StaticContentsConventions.Add(
                StaticContentConventionBuilder.AddDirectory("css", @"css", "css")
                );
        }

        protected override void ApplicationStartup(IKernel container, IPipelines pipelines)
        {
            base.ApplicationStartup(container, pipelines);
        }


        protected override IKernel CreateRequestContainer(Nancy.NancyContext context)
        {
            return kernel;
        }
    }


class Program
{  
        public static void Main(string[] args)
       {        
        var options = new StartOptions();
        options.Urls.Add(this.config.HostUrl.AbsoluteUri);
        using(WebApp.Start(options,
            builder =>
            {
                builder.Properties["host.AppName"] = "Self host";
                builder.Properties["host.AppMode"] = "development";
                builder.MapSignalR("/signalr",
                    new HubConfiguration
                    {
                        EnableJSONP = true,
                        EnableJavaScriptProxies = true,
                        Resolver = new DefaultDependencyResolver()
                    });
                builder.UseErrorPage();
                builder.UseNancy();
            })
          { Console.ReadLine();}
      }
    }

The call to UseNancy() throws the following error. Ninject is not able to resolve IRouteResolverTrie.

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled HResult=-2146233079 Message=Something went wrong when trying to satisfy one of the dependencies during composition, make sure that you've registered all new dependencies in the container and inspect the innerexception for more details.

1. Request for INancyEngine

Suggestions:

1. Ensure that you have defined a binding for IRouteResolverTrie.
2. If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has been loaded into the kernel.
3. Ensure you have not accidentally created more than one kernel.
4. If you are using constructor arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors parameter name.
5. If you are using automatic module loading, ensure the search path and filters are correct.

You need to call this kernel.Load<Nancy.Bootstrappers.Ninject.FactoryModule>(); before initializing your BootStrapper
