How to deploy a solution with a custom control into a different environment?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by K43876 37

Hi, I have an unmanaged, model driven app ("MySolution") in a dev env. I also built a custom control by forking from an open source and recompiling and zipping as a solution ("CustomControl.zip"). This solution was imported into the same dev env and then I added this custom control to "MySolution" and it is working fine.

 

Now, it's time to move "MySolution" to a test env. My question is whether I have to import "CustomControl.zip" solution to the test env before importing (deploying) "MySolution".

 

The reason why I am wondering this is because the deployment from dev to test was done by "pipeline" (and managed by other team) and working fine, until I added this custom control to "MySolution". The deployment pipeline from dev to test is getting an error "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: canvasAppReference". 

 

Thx.

    Hello!

     

    The first thing that we need to know, is the type of solution are you using to export. Managed or Unmanaged?

    What you have on your Model Driven app, did you have a custom page inside?

    Unmanaged. Yes, it has custom pages. Thx.

    I would recommend the dependencies of your custom page, and check the dependencies of the model driven too. could have any command library required.

    Thx @Michaelfp ,

     

    So, basically is your answer for my question "Do I need to deploy the custom control solution before the main solution?" "No, you don't need to deploy the custom control's solution once the custom control is added in the main solution.". Is that correct? That's what I really want to know.
