Very very strange error on test (and sometimes live) enviroment

I am upgrading a site to the latest version of EPiServer and for one page I get this very strange error on the test enviroment that I do not get in development. The error is:

System.InvalidOperationException: An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'CUSTOMER.Web.Controllers.Pages.JobController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor. ---> System.MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)

And the message is true, there are no parameterless constructor for this controller, but it has always worked before and it is working in development. Part of the controller looks like this:

 public class JobController : BaseController
    {
        private readonly IJobAdsRepository _jobadsrepository;
        private readonly IKandidatProfilManager _kandidatProfilManager;
        private readonly IJobbManager _jobbManager;
        private readonly IService _iService;

        public JobController(IJobAdsRepository jobadsrepository, IKandidatProfilManager kandidatProfilManager, IJobbManager jobbManager, IService iService)
        {
            _jobadsrepository = jobadsrepository;
            _kandidatProfilManager = kandidatProfilManager;
            _jobbManager = jobbManager;
            _iService = iService;
        }
}

Since I do never get it in the development enviroment it is very hard to find, and when I get it in test-enviroment it takes very long time to get the page/error, the page just stay and loading for many a minute or so.

Has anyone else seen this?

Yes I did experience exact this error, in my case we used NHibernate that was causing the error, I think Structuremap was the real reason, and NHibernate used Structuremap if I remember correctly.

So if that's the case this may help you:

The strange thing is that it is only happening in the test enviroment (have not deployed this version to production yet).
I will look into it more tomorrow

Finally I got remote debugging to work and the error was a simple mistyping when doing a manual deploy for this branch. I had pointed out the wrong nHibernate.config file in web.config so it was pointing to the one that should be transformed.

This gave this strange end-error but when debugging I got error in Structuremap with a lot of innerexceptions last pointing to this error: "The 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform:Transform' attribute is not declared."

Thanks Johannes for pointing me in the right direction!
