System.Exception: Error attempting to GenerateAttributeNameConsts! Unable to find attribute fileid in Solution about dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools HOT 15 CLOSED

If it helps to know this, I'm getting the same issue but for the Post entity.
Error attempting to GenerateAttributeNameConsts! Unable to find attribute postregardingid in Post
This is my first attempt at using the v2 generator - using a settings file which was created using 'v1' EBG. Same settings file still works fine with EBG 1.

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

I'm unable to replicate this, can one of you attach a zip of the metadata and settings files here, as outlined in the wiki https://github.com/daryllabar/DLaB.Xrm.XrmToolBoxTools/wiki/EBG-%E2%80%90-Submitting-Metadata-For-Debugging

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

Hi Daryl,
I removed everything except the Post entity from the whitelist and kicked it off.
It failed again.
I've included a zip wile with the serialized metadata, the builder.json and the log file.

EBGFailure29Nov23.zip

Hope that helps.

Given that the settings file is migrated from 'v1' to v2 of the EBG I will try starting from scratch with a new settings file to see if that works - I'll let you know.

Best wishes,
Ben

Hi Daryl,
I connected to a different environment with the same metadata as the one I was using earlier, opened EBG V2 and left all the settings as default apart from the Entity Whitelist, where I removed all of the default entities and added the Post entity.
Hit Generate and got the same error: Unable to find attribute postregardingid in Post

So, I guess this rules out any issues with starting out with a V1 settings file and switching to V2.

EBG v2 is running against a D365 online instance, 2023 Wave 2 applied, v 9.2.23105.00230

Let me know if I can provide any more information.

@bwmodular your file is missing your Settings xml file. Can you add that as well?

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

Sorry about that - new zip file uploaded. Do you want the v2 settings file as well? It's literally a default settings file with the entity whitelist updated to only include Post

@bwmodular I didn't realize it was just the default. I think I have it fixed. Can you try downloading, unblocking, and then extracting this file in to your XTB plugins folder and giving it a try?

Hi Daryl,
it took me a while to get the new version you sent over working because Norton had helpfully quarantined half of the dll's in the zip file!
Once I sorted that the immediate problem is fixed.

I did get the following error though:

Method : BuildResponseField

Error : Type Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.PreferredSolutionDetails is not available

and I now have a solution with several thousand compilation errors, mostly compaining about mssing types in the generated classes:

I did look your suggested wiki page: https://github.com/daryllabar/DLaB.Xrm.XrmToolBoxTools/wiki/Version-2.2023.4.3-Upgrade-To-PAC-ModelBuilder
but that doesn't exist yet :-)

I'll try a few things out and see if I can get things working, but any tips on switching to v2 would be very useful if you have them.
Thanks so much,
Ben

@bwmodular you're on the latest version of the XTB, correct?

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

Yes, latest version of XTB....

Hi Daryl,
back looking at v2 today after our v1 detour yesterday. 😉
Couple of things to mention.

1.) The new version you posted above resolves the original 'Error attempting to GenerateAttributeNameConsts!' issue. The Generate process now fails with this error for me:
[ 0: Information ] - Wrote 96 Entities - 00:00:01.8216569
[ 0: Information ] - Processing 1749 Messages
[ 0: Error ] - Source : Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.ModelBuilderLib
Method : BuildResponseField
Date : 09:28:02
Time : 01/12/2023
Error : Type Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.PreferredSolutionDetails is not available
Stack Trace : at Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.ModelBuilderLib.CodeGenerationService.BuildResponseField(SdkMessageResponse response, SdkMessageResponseField field, ServiceProvider serviceProvider)
at Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.ModelBuilderLib.CodeGenerationService.BuildMessageResponse(SdkMessagePair messagePair, SdkMessageResponse sdkMessageResponse, ServiceProvider serviceProvider)

The error still occurs if I revert to a default settings file, rather than an upgraded v1 file.

2.) At some point when running the tool yesterday, it pointed me at this page.
https://github.com/daryllabar/DLaB.Xrm.XrmToolBoxTools/wiki/Version-2.2023.4.3-Upgrade-To-PAC-ModelBuilder
However, that page doesn't exist - it should probably point here:
https://github.com/daryllabar/DLaB.Xrm.XrmToolBoxTools/wiki/EBG-%E2%80%90-Version-2.2023.4.3-Upgrade-To-PAC-ModelBuilder
which I found just now and will read through to see if there are any hints in there that I've missed.
I'm not sue when it actually pointed me at that page as it's not doing so today, but it was defintely there in the logs at some point.

Let me know if I can provide any more info on the current issue.

#456 Fixed the first issue you had and #457 will fix the URL issue.

As far as your current issue, please wait until the next version of the XTB is deployed, there is a fix in the assembly loading that will allow me to actually push a version of the EBGV2 without having to ILMerge, which I think is causing the issue that you're seeing.

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

Wonderful, thanks! I’ll test with the next version of XTB…

Wonderful, thanks! I’ll test with the next version of XTB…

And you'll need to wait for me to actually publish the next version of the EBGV2.

from dlab.xrm.xrmtoolboxtools.

Fix is in the latest version.
