Problem creating the nodes

[marcusjm]

I get this issue when trying to create a new checkout tree under the root node. Using 2.1.0 of Checkout and 2.1.2 of Vendr.

An error occurred
Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'dataType')

@marcusjm What version of Umbraco are you using?

[marcusjm]

@marcusjm What version of Umbraco are you using?

This is the latest public release 9.4.1

[mattbrailsford]

Hmm, I've just setup 9.4.1 install and installed Vendr + Vendr Checkout and it installed as expected.

Is there anything custom about your setup? Have you removed any of the standard data type deinfitions?

[marcusjm]

I use the Vendr Usync plus some other like Contemtment etc but nothing dramatic.

[marcusjm]

ok I will try again and see if it works

Complete error msg.

It is multi language though if that matters? 4 different.

Hmm, I wouldn't really have thought so. Based on the exception, I'd say it's erroring here https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-checkout/blob/v2/dev/src/Vendr.Checkout/Pipeline/Tasks/CreateVendrCheckoutDocumentTypesTask.cs#L295 but this get's called in a number of places such as these https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-checkout/blob/v2/dev/src/Vendr.Checkout/Pipeline/Tasks/CreateVendrCheckoutDocumentTypesTask.cs#L157-L212 but these are all passed data types that are resolved here https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-checkout/blob/v2/dev/src/Vendr.Checkout/Pipeline/Tasks/CreateVendrCheckoutDocumentTypesTask.cs#L50-L56 so it would appear like one of those is null which would suggest either one of the standard data type definitions isn't present for some reason, or the step picker data type failed to complete in a previous pipeline task which is set to run before that one https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-checkout/blob/v2/dev/src/Vendr.Checkout/Pipeline/Tasks/CreateVendrCheckoutDataTypesTask.cs#L88

[marcusjm]

Aha so some store setting perhaps? I couldn't see any missing but. We use 4 currencies also. GBP, EUR, SEK and NOK. I compared with the Tea Store and they seem to be about the same (except the unique settings of course)

[marcusjm]

I will try to create a new setup and simply compy the doctypes over.

It looks like it works when doing from a clean vendr install. Not sure if something collided with other DocTypes then. Going to try using Usync to match them :).

I'm getting the same error, admittedly on a pretty heavily customised base site.

Although I don't think we've removed any standard Umbraco datatypes.

Same versions of Vendr too - Vendr 2.1.2, Vendr.Checkout 2.1.0 on Umbraco 8.17.1

Will carry on looking into it, maybe take the source and debug, see if I can work it out

Just for info (or if anyone else has this issue) adding the project src to my solution, and referencing directly from the web project worked a treat. Strange.

[mattbrailsford]

🤯

[marcusjm]

Cool. I will try that then.

[marcusjm]

Unfortunatelly that didn't work for me.

[mattbrailsford]

If this is an upgraded umbraco install, I think it’s probably because the new image picker data type isn’t being created. It only gets created on new installs after the version of umbraco in which it was added.

I think we may need to check for its existence before using it 🤔

[marcusjm]

I have not upgraded yet but it is at 9.5.
