Pass generic type/list to ViewComponent's Invoke method

[fabercs]

Description of the problem:

I want to make a generic list component in my application. List components are called as follows; @await Component.InvokeAsync("ListComponent", new { list = Model.List, columnsList= "Subject,Description" })

The list in Model.List contains a List<T> where T is a type derived from a base IEntity. Here the components Invoke

public IViewComponentResult Invoke(List<Entity> list // <== strong type , string columnsList)
{
    // omitted for brevity
    return View("Default", list);
}

this works fine, however when change to this list starts coming null.

public IViewComponentResult Invoke(List<IEntity> list // <== generic type , string columnsList)
{
    // omitted for brevity
    return View("Default", list);
}

Is there a way to make this work with generic types?

Version of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc or Microsoft.AspNetCore.App or Microsoft.AspNetCore.All: Asp.Net Core 2.1

@mkArtakMSFT , @dougbu I have checked my code with a refreshed eye and Invoke parameter name and anonymous type parameter name in caller were mismatching. No worries.
