Solution file size limit?

[lambeck]

I'm trying to check dependencies on a fairly large solution file (7305 KB). It's definitely a valid file, but I keep getting "File is invalid. Please check you loaded a valid solution file". Is there a size limit? Thanks!

@lambeck There should not be any limitations on size. I am fairly certain we tested solutions double the size of that.

Can you provide some more details (questions below)

1. Version of CRM, D365 CE, Dataverse the solution was built on?
2. Version of CRM, D365, CE, Dataverse for the target environment?
3. Types of components in the solution (entities, option sets, web resources etc.)
4. Does the file end in .zip?

[bonomo1]

Location in code where this message is raised.

Tested this myself and I am getting the same error message with a new solution in v9.1 or above when containing components not available in version 8.2 and below. For instance, SVG icon.

We will have to fix.

[bonomo1]

Doesn't appear to be SVG icon as that is component type 61 of Web Resource.

Will have to dig into this more. Could be the "formulas" folder. Screenshot of solution that is failing for me as well

[lambeck]

Thanks for getting back to me!

Version of CRM, D365 CE, Dataverse the solution was built on? Version of CRM, D365, CE, Dataverse for the target environment? Our app uses some elements of D365 Project Operations (version 4.57.0.176), but most of it is custom. Both the source and destination environments have the same version.

Types of components in the solution (entities, option sets, web resources etc.) The solution file includes:

• 1 Model Driven App
• 10 Custom Pages
• 21 Choices
• 3 Cloud Flows
• 2 Component Libraries
• 6 Connection References
• 2 PCF Controls
• 4 Duplicate Detection Rules
• 1 Environment variable
• 7 Security Roles
• 1 Site Map
• 32 Tables
• 17 Web Resources (javascript and images)

Does the file end in .zip? Yes. I've tried both managed and unmanaged.

I have a feeling that the problem might have to do with the Custom Pages :( Please let me know if you need any other information!

@lambeck Thank you for getting back to me. Will try my best to look into this as soon as I can and hope it's an easy fix. My fear is it will be a large overhaul based on changes in solutions that may take a couple of months to get prioritized on our end. I'll let you know one way or another soon.

[bonomo1]

Some news...created a blank solution and it threw the same error. No components at all. Not sure if that is good (i.e. quick fix) or bad (complete re-write)

[bonomo1]

Error on my end from the log file

. The import file is invalid. XSD validation failed with the following error: 'The element 'ImportExportXml' has invalid child element 'EntityDataProviders'.

Looks like its not handling virtual data sources in the solution file.

@lambeck

Can you check the log file for the plugin? If you don't know where that is, you can find it under Configuration > Settings > Paths > Open XrmToolBox storage folder

Then open the log file for the XRMSolutionDependencyChecker

Assuming you get same error I am above

[bonomo1]

Temporary workaround.

Unzip solution. Open customizations.xml

Remove note for "EntityDataProviders"

Worked with a testing solution I had but so many components now your experience may differ. Solution was still importable on my end but use this workaround at your own risk until I can get an update out there

[bonomo1]

I should just have to update the references (note to myself more than anything) to target the latest and test to ensure still has backwards compatibility.

  <package id="Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies" version="9.0.2.5" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Microsoft.CrmSdk.Deployment" version="9.0.2.5" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Microsoft.CrmSdk.Workflow" version="9.0.2.5" targetFramework="net462" />

[lambeck]

Here's what I'm seeing in XRMSolutionDependencyChecker.log. I don't see anything about EntityDataProviders, but I will try your suggestion and let you know.

[lambeck]

Sorry, no, same error :(

[bonomo1]

Quick update. My plan is to look further into this and hopefully resolve this weekend.

[bonomo1]

Apologies for the delay on this. Got busy with client work. Getting this into a team members queue to resolve soon hopefully

[lambeck]

No worries! Work is busy here too 🙂 Thanks for following up!

@lambeck

Finally got around to looking into this. I updated a few bugs that could be causing your issue and implemented a new check for the version of the solution to the target environment in the connection.

Just dropped the update in nuget if you want to check sometime later today or tomorrow if your issue is resolved. These updates solved the errors I was able to replicate, but that being said there could be other things going on without having your source file/target environment. Let me know how it goes :)

I should confirm, make sure using version 1.3.4. Had issue in 1.3.3 as I haven't developed the plugin for a while and missed a version update causing XRM Toolbox to constantly prompt to update

[bonomo1]

Closing this issue for now
