Current behavior

I got latest code from master, run debugging with vs 2017 and attempting to add new filed to existing schema (pages schema) and got error message: "Failed to add field. Please reload’.
The exception is: {System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find subtype of ‘FieldPropertiesDto’ with discriminator ‘String’.

Expected behavior

To be able to add field to schema.

Minimal reproduction of the problem

Go to schema. Use the ‘Add field’ button and attempt to add a field with any types.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce it. I remember the error, but it has been fixed a week ago or two. Are you sure that you have the latest master version?

Yes, I pull the master and did follow the build documentation but got that above exceptiob. Could you please tell me where to check it? Sorry I’m new to squidex

There is a class called MyJsonInheritanceConverter.cs in the Squidex main project. Can you post the content here?

It doesn’t hit this class:

private readonly Type baseType;

    public MyJsonInheritanceConverter(string discriminator, Type baseType)
        : base(baseType, discriminator)
    {
        this.baseType = baseType;
    }

    public MyJsonInheritanceConverter(string discriminator, Type baseType, IDictionary<string, Type> mapping)
        : this(discriminator, baseType)
    {
        this.mapping = mapping;
    }

    public override string GetDiscriminatorValue(Type type)
    {
        var result = type.Name;

        if (baseType != null)
        {
            var baseName = baseType.Name;

            if (result.EndsWith(baseName, StringComparison.CurrentCulture))
            {
                return result.Substring(0, result.Length - baseName.Length);
            }
        }

        return mapping?.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == type).Key ?? result;
    }
}

}

Could it be related to dotnet core version? I’m using 2.2.101

Thanks & regards

I still think that you do not have the latest version: https://github.com/Squidex/squidex/blob/master/src/Squidex/Areas/Api/Controllers/MyJsonInheritanceConverter.cs :wink:

Pull it from master

Got it. My fork just up to this: Discriminator fixes for json schema.
I sync-ed upstream and got the latest. Thanks for your help Sebastian
