Old VS new Serialization.config

[lordzero83]

User story

Sitecore crashes due to unset variables of Serialization.config $(featureFolder)\HelloWorld\$(configurationFolder)

Where do i have to set these Parameters? Are there any default values?

Expected behavior

Sitecore running like before

Actual behavior

Actually using a Serialization.config like Habitat Serialization Config

yes we are using the default settings for sitecore like in the habitat project v9 branch and with the latest update from the yeoman helix generator its not "working" anymore because you changed the generated config files.

Is it possible to create my own dynamic config files with your supported variables or can you add a addional choise where I can choose If I want the original config files or the new ones?

Sorry for the slow response (been out at a customer/summer etc.) hope to resolve/fix this next Friday, but you can always update the template files to match your requirements :-)

You have to define them like any other Sitecore variable (dataFolder and tempFolder for instance), as Unicorn needs to know the path where the serialization files are stored.

E.g.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/"
               xmlns:environment="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/environment">

  <sitecore environment:require="Development">
    <sc.variable name="featureFolder" value="D:\home\site\wwwroot\deploypackage\Data\s\fe" />
    <sc.variable name="foundationFolder" value="D:\home\site\wwwroot\deploypackage\Data\s\fo" />
    <sc.variable name="projectFolder" value="D:\home\site\wwwroot\deploypackage\Data\s\pr" />
    <sc.variable name="configurationFolder" value=""/>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>
