[Azure App Service] Error Rendering Sitecore.JavaScriptServices.ViewEngine.Presentation.JsLayoutRenderer: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: address

-

Scenario: Sitecore deployed on Azure App Service running JSS in Integrated Mode.

I ran everything by the book (aka followed the link here: https://jss.sitecore.com/docs/techniques/azure-deployment) doing step 3 & 4

However loading the site and an yellow page of death showing the above error.

A few hours of scratching the head and searching the web went by...

Found this gem on the web: https://blog.yannickreekmans.be/use-node-js-64-bit-on-azure-app-service/

It turns out that you have to let the App Service know the version of Node.js running on your app service. 

So I added this application setting in my app service and it works like a charm:


So what went wrong in the guide from Sitecore? 

I rechecked step 2 which are mentioned as optional! Well, it is. However don't forget to complete step 2.6 like what I did.

Happy Sitecoring!

It isn't uncommon when you open up the Experience Analytics dashboard hoping to see some beautiful graphs and charts showing analytics data and boom! It welcomes you with the ugly red lines: I am usually very calm when dealing with errors in this dashboard because I have seen many root causes and found the fixes for them. Usually they are caused by certificate issues here or there . But this time looking at the log in the website, it shows a brand new error: 30240 10:24:37 ERROR [Sitecore Services]: HTTP GET URL http://mydomain.dev.local/sitecore/api/ao/aggregates/all/0751EFD8564F40A38083EF5C6E194247/-3191897772735422194?&dateGrouping=by-auto&&dateFrom=18-01-2020&dateTo=16-04-2020&keyGrouping=by-key Exception System.ArgumentNullException: typeKey should not be null.

In this post, I will tell you how to setup CI/CD for Sitecore 9.2 with TeamCity. Solution Update Prerequisites: - Sitecore 9.2 project/solution created Firstly you would want to be able to synchronize Sitecore items between environments. I choose to use Unicorn which can be installed to your solution via Nuget. The version that I am using are 4.1.1. You will need to install both Unicorn & Unicorn Core packages: You can notice that the target framework for Unicorn packages are .NET Framework 4.7.2 which I use for my Sitecore 9.2 solution. Assuming that you have already known how to use Unicorn, the only place that you need to change to enable automatic deployment of Sitecore items is in Unicorn.Configs.Default.config By default, the value is false, you will need to update the above value to true. However I would not want to touch the default config file. I will create a transformed configuration file and update this value. I prefer using profile configuration ...
