How to create a Variant programmatically with price together
var newVariant = _contentRepository.GetDefault < MyVariant > (anotherVariant.ParentLink, anotherVariant.ContentTypeID, anotherVariant.Language);
_contentRepository.Publish(newVariant);
Price existingPrice = anotherVariant.GetDefaultPrice();
PriceDetailValue priceValue = new PriceDetailValue
{
CatalogKey = new CatalogKey(newVariant.Code),
MarketId = existingPrice.MarketId,
CustomerPricing = CustomerPricing.AllCustomers,
ValidFrom = DateTime.Now,
MinQuantity = 0,
UnitPrice = new Money(existingPrice.UnitPrice.Amount + 1, existingPrice.UnitPrice.Currency)
};
_priceDetailService.Save(priceValue);
This should work

Ok I did not elaborate on this, but saving without a price does not work either because of the custom validation rule, that every variant must have a price defined.
#229670
public class VariationContentValidator : IValidate < VariationContent >
{
public IEnumerable < ValidationError > Validate(VariationContent instance)
{
if (instance.GetPrices().Count == 0)
{
yield return new ValidationError
{
Severity = ValidationErrorSeverity.Error,
ErrorMessage = Custom.MissingPrice,
PropertyName = "Price"
};
}
}
}

Well that is a strange rule to have. But you perhaps you can skip the check if VariationContent.ContentLink is null or empty (i.e. it's not created yet).

Thanks for your help, this hack seems to be the easiest way to solve the problem. I guess Commerce UI calls some internal API.

In our project we have a validation rule to ensure that every variant has at least one price assigned to it.
I am trying to create a variant in code, but I cannot create a price for it before it is being saved in the database. How can I achieve this? My code is something like:
var newVariant = _contentRepository.GetDefault < MyVariant > (anotherVariant.ParentLink, anotherVariant.ContentTypeID, anotherVariant.Language); .... setting Name, Code etc. Price existingPrice = anotherVariant.GetDefaultPrice(); PriceDetailValue priceValue = new PriceDetailValue { CatalogKey = new CatalogKey(newVariant .Code), MarketId = existingPrice.MarketId, CustomerPricing = CustomerPricing.AllCustomers, ValidFrom = DateTime.Now, MinQuantity = 0, UnitPrice = new Money(existingPrice.UnitPrice.Amount + 1, existingPrice.UnitPrice.Currency) }; _priceDetailService.Save(priceValue); _contentRepository.Publish(newVariant);I get a foreign key violation exception at the IPriceDetailService.Save() call, that the code does not exist in DB. I could not find any other way to get a hold on to a PriceReference. There must be a way how the Commerce UI creates a new variant in one step, because that one is working fine. Using Commerce 12.14.
