IReadOnlyList<T> not deserialized

[pandabytes]

Hello. I'm curious as to why IReadOnlyList and other interfaces that implement IEnumerable (such as IReadOnlyCollection) do not get deserialized correctly. I see this code here we exactly check for type List and IEnumerable.

Neo4jClient/Neo4jClient/Serialization/CommonDeserializerMethods.cs

Lines 249 to 256 in 28c9480

	else if (genericTypeDefinition == typeof(List<>))
	{
	instance = BuildList(context, type, element.Children(), typeMappings, nestingLevel + 1);
	}
	else if (genericTypeDefinition == typeof(IEnumerable<>))
	{
	instance = BuildIEnumerable(context, type, element.Children(), typeMappings, nestingLevel + 1);
	}

Example

public class Person
{
  public IReadOnlyList<string> Names { get; set; }
}

This is the error I get when I try to deserialize to Person from neo4j.

 ---> System.MissingMethodException: Cannot dynamically create an instance of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList`1[System.String]'. Reason: Cannot create an instance of an interface.

Workaround

My current workaround is to create a custom JsonConverter, however, it does not work when I use it with [JsonConverter] attribute. It does work if I add the converter to the client. This is what I mean.

public class Person
{
  // This does not work. Get the same error above.
  // Do you have any idea why this doesn't work?
  [JsonConverter(typeof(IReadOnlyListJsonConverter))]
  public IReadOnlyList<string> Names { get; set; }
}

// This DOES work
var boltClient = new BoltGraphClient(driver);
boltClient.JsonConverters.Add(new IReadOnlyListJsonConverter());
