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...

Why SitecoreAI - Getting into the shoes of the customer how to select right CMS

Hi Team, Lately, I have been talking to lot of our customers / potential customers and having pre-sales demos where one question always comes is "Why Sitecore" ? Now this question can be for any product which is out for sell. And as a technician I always get into product technical features, but at the same time as a pre-sales guy, it also makes me think, surely all competitive products have same features, so definitely answer to this is not in the technicalities. If you step back and think, we are also a customer in our daily life and buy lot of things, what is that process we go through? When we buy, how can your customer decide if this is a right fit for you or not, why we select A over B? Is it price? is it service? Is it a brand? Is it about features? Is it about brand loyalty? When it is a technical product, I am sure it cannot start with the technicalities of the product or selecting product itself, 100% not, I feel decision is always business strategy first and ...
