Missing database schema Commerce 14 and CMS 12

Hello, I'm trying to setup CMS12 and Commerce14 on my machine. I've checked the requirements and I've correct prerequisites installed those were needed for setup.

So far I've followed each command mentioned on documentation

dotnet-episerver create-cms-database ProjectName.csproj -S . -E
dotnet-episerver create-commerce-database ProjectName.csproj -S . -E --reuse-cms-user
dotnet-episerver add-admin-user ProjectName.csproj -u username -p password -e user@email.com -c EcfSqlConnection

It creates the databases but all blank. Except the admin user command creates identity tables in commerce database.

running application via terminal gives below exception, Which I believe is because there is no schema on the database. This is all empty

Thanks for looking into this

Documentation is outdated. You should be able to install new templates using

dotnet new -i Episerver.Templates

If you the run

dotnet new --list epi

it should list new templates like this

You should then be able to create new commerce site by running the following steps

dotnet new epi-commerce-empty
dotnet run

Next step is navigating to /util/register to register admin user.

Thankyou Mari, This helped. I couldn't get this documented. Could you please share the link?

I saw this demoed by Optimizely in a webinar. I will report to the documentation team that documentation needs to be updated.

Mari is correct about the updated templates...

But if you created an empty Commerce site from the old templates, you'll need to add another package: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager (version 5.0.0)

Run this command:

dotnet add "[PROJECTNAME].csproj" package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager -v 5.0.0

Apparently register user seems only working for cms site not commerce site. I received the following error when access to commerce catalog, did anyone encounter this issue?

Access denied. Failed loading content with content link: -1073741823__CatalogContent
EPiServer.Core.AccessDeniedException: Access was denied to content -1073741823__CatalogContent. You do not have access to see the versions for this item.

add the user to the administrators role

WebAdmins (which is added by default) should be enough: https://github.com/episerver/content-templates/blob/develop/templates/Commerce.Empty/appsettings.Development.json#L25

Vincent, are you sure you run the migrations? /episerver/commerce/migrate

Scott Reed - Mar 23, 2022 11:09

Yes looks like the template is setup that way now. Our current project is using the defaults without any specific roles set which means Administrators.

Thank you for all your help.

@Scott, the user registration page will add the my user "WebAdmin" role. I was in the wrong spot at the beginning.

The problem is when I first time run the site, there is no user, however the commerce migration step is also firing up and I get the following error message from my console log. The way to fix this is after I registered my first user, then manually navigate to /episerver/commerce/migrate to re-rerun the migration as @Bartosz pointed out.

EPiServer.Core.EPiServerException: There are incomplete migration steps. The site can be in unstable state. Please navigate to front-end site and complete remaining migration steps, then restart Commerce Manager site. If you see this message on the front-end site, it means no Catalog Content models (decorated with the CatalogContentType attribute) were found. Add a Catalog Content type, or set the appSetting 'episerver:SkipCatalogContentModelCheck' to true to bypass this check. Warning! Bypassing this check in the Commerce Manager site or other application which does not have the content model types available could lead to data loss!
