I just upgraded Breeze (client and server) from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5. When I switched over to point to the server where Breeze is upgraded (using Breeze 1.4.5, Entity Framework 6, Web Api 2, MVC 5), I had the following error when fetching the Metadata (manager.fetchMetadata()). This is the error message that I have:
Metadata query failed for:
http://localhost:50015/breeze/Application/Metadata. Unable to either parse or import metadata: Bad nav properties; [object Object]
If I point to the server that is based off of Breeze 1.4.4, Entity Framework 5, Web Api 1, MVC 4, my SPA doesn't break on manager.fetchMetadata(). It doesn't go the .fail promise.
Both Entity Framework models are pointing to the same database, they have the same entities and same data.
Was this bug introduced to Breeze 1.4.5 ?? Or did I miss a step during the upgrade process?? Basically I'm using exactly the same code in my breeze controller from 1.4.4, to 1.4.5. Also Breeze client was upgraded to 1.4.5. If you need the Metadata, let me know and I can provide it.
I found the problem, I debugged the function that fetches the metadata, and I found some client side entities that were defined with associations pointing to the old Entity Framework 5 namespaces. It was throwing the exception in CsdlMetadataParser.parse within Breeze. I corrected the namespaces and the issue was resolved.
