Unable to upload images Object Reference not set to an instance

Vote:

Hi guys,

I tried to upload a png file to cms through the asset pane.

Login --> Edit --> Asset Pane --> For All Sites --> Media --> Upload Files --> select the png file (2.8 KB) --> Failed with msg 'Object Reference not set to an instance'

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi KK, The stack trace should hopefully show up in the logs to help you along.

Thanks Surjit. Can I ask how to get the stack trace?

Do you have a log writer setup? Look at the output logs?
If not, are you running kestrel? You'll be able to see the stack trace just after the error in the console where kestrel is running.

Are you getting the error on DXP? Take a look at live viewer on paasportal.

Have you got the Content Model setup to accept an png file.

e.g.

using EPiServer.Framework.DataAnnotations;
using ImagePointEditor;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Temp5.Models.Media;

[ContentType(GUID = "0A89E464-56D4-449F-AEA8-2BF774AB8730")]
[MediaDescriptor(ExtensionString = "jpg,jpeg,jpe,ico,gif,bmp,png")]
public class ImageFile : ImageData
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets the copyright.
    /// </summary>
    /// <value>
    /// The copyright.
    /// </value>
    public virtual string Copyright { get; set; }

    [UIHint(ImagePoint.UIHint)]
    [Display(Name = "Focal point")]
    public virtual string ImageFocalPoint { get; set; }
}
