Publishing code modified base app runs into error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" #6025

Closed hbaehren closed 4 years ago

Describe the bug We are developing a rather large (~18.000 AL objects with many dotNet Addins) code modified base app. The compilation from Visual Studio code with Ctrl+Shift+B runs successfully. We have created a local Database including NAV-Server with only the system tables. We are able to compile and publish a code modified base app which only includes the Microsoft AL files on that local NAV-Server successfully. When trying to publish our code modified base app with

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance NAV -Path "C:\VisualStudioCodeProjects\ALTest\Axians Infoma_newsystem_1.0.0.0.app" -SkipVerification -Verbose

the command runs for approximately 20 minutes and runs into the following error: Publish-NAVApp : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. During the running of the command the process Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server utilizes all available free RAM (approx. 24GB).

In the event log there are the following two errors:

  1. MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$NAV Server instance: NAV Category: Extensions ClientSessionId: 37620e61-72d4-4701-b421-6e88978a3f3d ClientActivityId: 394ad171-1a5f-4852-9e7b-345d74c3b69d ServerSessionUniqueId: 2101b895-c3ca-4242-bc8a-d625c2be531d ServerActivityId: eb66b1bb-1d6c-4140-9ed1-e9850ca9daaf EventTime: 07/10/2020 12:46:34 Message Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ProcessId: 19496 Tag: 00001YW ThreadId: 17 CounterInformation:

  2. Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll Type: System.InvalidOperationException Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. HResult: -2146233079

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create modified base app
  2. Create local Database and NAV-Server which has only the Microsoft System Objects
  3. Try to publish the App on the local NAV-Server with Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance NAV -Path "C:\VisualStudioCodeProjects\ALTest\Axians Infoma_newsystem_1.0.0.0.app" -SkipVerification -Verbose

Expected behavior It should be possible to publish our code modified base app.
