CategoryId is null

Questions

Hi,

I am trying to get a category through code. I have tried 2 different ways but i noticed that CategoryId in the databse is null which means I can not get the category by searching for the categoryId. is this normal? Shouldn’t categories have an Id?

Have tried these:

var rootCategories = _categoryService.GetChildCategories(Guid.Empty, Assortment.SystemId);
var rootCategory = rootCategories?.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id?.Equals("Däck", 
                                          StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) ?? false);

and

_categoryService.Get("Däck")

Litium version: 7.2.0

okej, have you solved this somehow? Any work around. In my case all categories will be created from BO. :confused:

In my case i could hard code the SystemId because it’s only 1 category and we are using it in a special way.

You can add the readable Id yourself to the DB through integration or by script in order to get this to work as you would like to.
