I have installed the new Accelerator and migrated my stylings from the beta accelerator. But from time to time I am getting error from

    var currentField = _fieldDefinitionService.Get(item.AreaType, item.Id); **DefinitionSetup.cs    Line: 205**

with following exception

    [FieldFrameworkException: Field with name '_options' does not match any field definition in area 'BlockArea'.]

I have dropped the database installed a new one, recycled the application pool, and the error pops up again. How do i fix this? Or what is wrong?

Litium version: 7.0.0

var currentField = _fieldDefinitionService.Get<>(item.Id); // Add area type inside this <>

3

_fieldDefinitionService.Get is inside a method called InitFields. I assume it will not be the same type all the time?

4

No FieldDefinitions AreaType is different for entities and areas.

5

What do you mean? I can’t have the type defined like this →
var currentField = _fieldDefinitionService.Get<!!BlockArea!!>(item.Id);

"Had to add BlockArea inside exclamation marks oterwhise it wouldn’t be visible in my post.

6

Yes you can, I meant you need to specify the type for which area the FieldDefinition belongs.

7

The problem is somehow the naming, the field have been named as _options but should be _option and this makes the issue.

If you sun the following sql it will be corrected

UPDATE FieldFramework.FieldDefinitionFieldData SET FieldDefinitionId = '_option' WHERE FieldDefinitionId = '_options'

The problem is in upgrades from beta7-accelerators that was using the MediaPointerVideo field type that is replaced with a Pointer of type MediaVideo instead.

This Select returns 0 rows so it is not a problem with naming. I didn’t upgrade the database, i installed a new one.
select * from FieldFramework.FieldDefinitionFieldData WHERE FieldDefinitionId = ‘_options’

9

Not sure if you still get the same exception as the one you have in the initial post but that exception is about the misspelled _options that should be _option and that is only affecting installations that have a database that is upgraded from the beta version.

I have tried to reproduce the error with the package from docs site and installed the accelerator. What is the more steps I need to do to get this error?

Did you solve this issue and what in that case was the reason?
