[Progress Communities] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Forum Post: Unable to Upload Images

[greg.lindquist@nuorbit.com]

Hi all, I have an older version of Sitefinity (7.3.5681) that seems to have one crucial issue. I can't upload an image, or edit the image in the sitefinity admin site. When I get to the page that would normally upload an image, this service call throws a 500: domain.com/Sitefinity/Services/Workflow/WorkflowService.svc/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/?itemType=Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Image&showMoreActions=true&unv_tstmp_prm=1572363316513 The error thrown is "Failed to create a 'Settings' from the text 'Assembly references and imported namespaces serialized as XML namespaces'" on the service endpoint itself. Behind the scenes, the error log dump the exception below. Ultimately, I'm getting that the 'GetWorkflowVisualElementsInternal' call is trying to get an object type, however; the object type name is null, thus the exception is thrown. The question I have is how do I find the true fault point, and resolve this? Type : System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 Message : Value cannot be null.

I have no real idea where this is coming from, but knowing that information would help me solve for the domain that's broken: {"Context":{"CommandToExecute":"","LastApprovalTrackingRecord":null,"NegativeMessage":"","OperationName":"","PositiveMessage":"","Status":""},"Items":[{"ArgumentDialogName":null,"ClosesForm":false,"ContentCommandName":"Upload","CssClass":"sfLinkBtn sfSave","DecisionType":"MainAction","OperationName":"Upload","Ordinal":0,"PersistOnDecision":true,"RunAsUICommand":false,"Title":"Upload and Publish","VisualType":1,"WarningMessage":""},{"ArgumentDialogName":null,"ClosesForm":false,"ContentCommandName":"UploadDraft","CssClass":"sfLinkBtn sfSave","DecisionType":"MainAction","OperationName":"UploadDraft","Ordinal":0,"PersistOnDecision":true,"RunAsUICommand":false,"Title":"Upload and Save as Draft","VisualType":1,"WarningMessage":""},{"ArgumentDialogName":null,"ClosesForm":false,"ContentCommandName":"preview","CssClass":"sfLinkBtn sfPreview","DecisionType":"SecondaryActions","OperationName":"Preview","Ordinal":1,"PersistOnDecision":false,"RunAsUICommand":true,"Title":"Preview","VisualType":1,"WarningMessage":""}],"WorkflowDefinition":{"Title":"Default no-approval-needed workflow"}}
