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 !!!

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...

Zero to Hero - A real life RCA of exact issue in Sitecore Managed Cloud environment

Hello All, The purpose of today's post is to share a real life burning and escalated scenario which was new to me and how did I approach it and how big the escalations were and what was the outcome Sitecore's goodwill was at stack not because Sitecore is not capable of handling it but just because our environment was Sitecore Managed Cloud, and any issue that comes if its infra, back end code, front end code will be first pointed as Sitecore issue and that is where our consultancy and experience will play a role to prove that it is not Sitecore issue.  Issue we faced Out of the blue our site started giving "504 Gateway Time-out", and it was reported that almost everyone is getting this error, but when we used to browse the site, everything looked good and never 504. 504 Gateway Time-out error tells that, That the request went to Content Delivery servers of Sitecore from gateway, but gateway did not get response in time from those CDs and hence it gave time out error. ...
