Workflow project not compiling after upgrade

Vote:
 

Updated Commerce from 8.2.1.326 to 8.7.1.466 (and CMS 7.15 to 7.19.2)

After that my custom workflow project did not compile in VS2013. My workflows are deriving from Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.Activities.CalculateTaxActivity (one example)

Error in VS2013: "Compilation failed. Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."

I’ve noticed that the dll “Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.Activities.dll” is moved in to “Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.dll” (not mentioned in release notes – why Episerver? ).

Therefor I changed the assembly namespace in myworkflow.xoml  

xmlns:ns0="clr-namespace:Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.Activities;Assembly=Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow, Version=8.7.1.466, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"

In VS I also get the following when I try to open the workflow designer:

“The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: MyValidateLineItemsActivity. The base class MyValidateLineItemsActivity could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built.”

The MyValidateLineItemsActivity assembly is in the project.

The Mediachase DLLs are referenced to the latest version.

What am I missing out? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

When you use namespace within an assembly, you don't have to specify the Assembly part, so you just want to remove that part. Your xoml should be 

xmlns:ns0="clr-namespace:Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.Activities"

But I'm quite sure we noticed about the merge. In the release notes here http://world.episerver.com/releases/episerver---update-51/ we pointed to

http://world.episerver.com/download/Items/EPiServer-Commerce/episerver-commerce-8-tools-and-code-samples/

"This code package includes the source code for the default workflows in EPiServer Commerce, combining both workflows and activities into one package. The workflows can be customized to suite specific implementation needs."

:)  But that might be a little mild.

Regards,

Thanks but changing namespace did not change anything. Looked at the example and i didn´t see any that clarify my problem.

And did you remove the reference to Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.Activities.dll and Mediachase.Commerce.Workflow.dll itself? The steps were to install EpiServer.Commerce.Core to the source code project but old references must be removed.

Yes, its all gone and changed. Still i believe it is a reference issue as the message tells me.

I also tried to update last night and am in the situation receiving the same error with my custom workflows project. I look forward to more information or a solution to this. Thanks.

Have you tried to clean you solution, hit the refresh button to refresh your workflow project, and rebuild the solution?

I finaly got my workflow-project working in CMS 7.19.2. What i did was to download 7.19.1 separatly, and referenced my workflow project to these DLLs. Anyhow this is not desirable approach. I wonder what will happen on next update.

Hi

"Constructor on type 'Holmen.Commerce.CustomProviders.ShippingUps.AdaptorGateway' not found." indicates that the class AdaptorGateway was missing a public, parameterless constructor. You'll need to add it to make it works.

Regards.

Hi Q,

Thats what i thought too. But we have never had one. And it doesnt make any change.

 public class AdaptorGateway : IShippingGateway
    {
        public AdaptorGateway()
        {
        
        }

Ive also tried to compile the project with 7.19.1 as this answers anticipate http://stackoverflow.com/.../activator-createinstance-cant-find-the-constructor-missingmethodexception

Any other idea?

I just took another look at the code and it looks like you'll need to add a constructor with IMarket parameter as well

The Great Quan Mai, you did it again! Greatly appreciated. I was just about to look in ProcessShipment(), and there i see IMarket, yes!
