Sitecore 9: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Sitecore.ContentSearch.Abstractions.ISettings.


Sitecore® 9.0 Platform Essentials for Developers eLearning Lab Module Error

I was recently doing the Sitecore® 9.0 Platform Essentials for Developers eLearning Lab Modules and in last modules I started getting the below error

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Sitecore.ContentSearch.Abstractions.ISettings.

Out of clue because I did everything as per the guide and end up in error, I figured out from the exception that it has to do with some DLL which is not finding the method the code is trying to reference.

So I backtrack the module and found out that there were two nuget packages were installed and one of them was Sitecore.ContentSearch.dll, So when you publish the site this DLL got overwritten with the existing which was available with existing sitecore installation In your WWWROOOT

I had a back up of the sitecore installation folder from WWWROOT and I took the DLL from that and put replaced it in the WWWROOT folder and to make sure it works now, browse the site and everything started working

May be any of you are facing the same issues, you should have the original DLL from sitecore installation and reference it instead of the nuget package, if the problem still persist (I hope in future this will not be the case with nuget)

Hope it helps !!!

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
