Description
In 2.x query pipeline when we used Remotion.Linq library to normalize expression tree into query model, it also inlined all invocation expressions. In 3.1 we added code in our pipeline to do inilining but it was not applying it recursively.
Customer Impact
Customers using nested invocations to build expression tree get an exception with translation error.
How found
Customers reported that they are facing issue with invocation expressions even after the fix we added in 3.1.
Test coverage
Regression test added to verify that we cover recursive case.
Regression?
Yes, from EF Core 2.x to 3.1 as 2.x pipeline normalized this through external library.
Risk
Very low. Visiting recursively should be no-op if not the case of invocation. Also this fix has been released in 5.0 preview1 and we haven't had any feedback of anything breaking.
