I ran into an error on import earlier: Solution "{Solution Name}" failed to import: Ribbons import: FAILURE: The component that you are trying to update has been deleted.
In the original solution I had the contact table in it with only a few forms and views included.
After getting this error, I made a new solution with just the contact table, no components included and tried to import. It failed with the same error.
Next I went to the original destination environment and took an export with the bare contacts table, no components, and imported/published into my original source environment to try and "sync" whatever was out of sync. Tried the import again and am still getting this error.
I imported a solution with the Contact table included successfully yesterday. And no one has worked on the ribbon since then.
Any ideas?
My recommended troubleshooting steps:
1. Under solutions, go to history. There often is more detail there. View that info.
2. If there is a download error button, do that. It will give you an XML doc. Open that xml in Excel. The second sheet should have details as to where exactly it failed.
3. Try opening your account table in Ribbon Workbench from XRM Toolbox. See any customizations there may be and revert if necessary.
4. More detailed troubleshooting - extract the solution zip file and view the contents. Customizations.xml should be there, open it with VSCode or something similar. Go to RibbonDiff xml and view what’s inside there. If it’s something you don’t need, remove it. You can compare to an uncustomized entitie’s xml so you know what it looks like brand new. Zip the contents back up and re-import.
5. You didn’t mention the type of solution. If managed solution, try the update option.
Vs upgrade.
hopefully one of those things gives you at least a starting point of where to look.
