An error occurred while parsing the plugin profile from file

Question

I was connected CRM with Plugin registration tool of CRM SDK 2016 whenever i am uploading the downloaded error log file to debugger it's showing "An error occured while parsing the plugin's profile from file" could any suggest me where i am going wrong. The image is showing below:

ErrorImage

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Unable to parse the OrganizationServiceFault. Parameter name: serializedReport at PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.ExtractReport(String serializedReport) at PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.DeserializeProfilerReport(String assemblyFilePath, String logFilePath, Boolean isCrmDataStream) at PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerExecutionUtility.RetrieveReport(String logFilePath, Boolean isCrmDataStream) at Microsoft.Crm.Tools.PluginRegistration.CommonControls.Helper.ParseReportOrShowError(Window window, FileBrowserView profilePathControl, Boolean requireReportParse, ProfilerPluginReport& report) Inner Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Message does not contain a serialized value. at PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.ExtractReportFromFault(OrganizationServiceFault fault) at PluginProfiler.Library.ProfilerUtility.ExtractReport(String serializedReport)

Except this, when log file is downloaded it contains the below error:

Below is my .CS file:

using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using System;

namespace SamplePlugins
{
    public class PostCreateContact : IPlugin
    {
        ITracingService tracingService;

        public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
            tracingService.Trace("Tracing Execute");
            // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
            IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
               serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
            // The InputParameters collection contains all the data
            //passed in the message request.
            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                // Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.

                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                try
                {
                    // Create a task activity to follow up with the account customer in 7 days
                    Entity followup = new Entity("task");
                    followup["subject"] = "Send e-mail to the new customer.";
                    followup["description"] = "Follow up with the customer. Check if there are any new issues that need resolution.";
                    followup["scheduledstart"] = DateTime.Now;
                    followup["scheduledend"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2);
                    followup["category"] = context.PrimaryEntityName;
                    // Refer to the contact in the task activity.
                    if (context.OutputParameters.Contains("id"))
                    {
                        Guid regardingobjectid = new Guid(context.OutputParameters["id"].ToString());
                        string regardingobjectidType = "contact";
                        followup["regardingobjectid"] = new EntityReference(regardingobjectidType, regardingobjectid);
                    }
                    // Obtain the organization service reference.
                    IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
                    IOrganizationService service =
                       serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
                    // Create the followup activity
                    service.Create(followup);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(ex.Message);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I have tried by replacing the PluginProfiler.Solution.zip but the issue still exists.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I recommend you below steps:

1. Unregister the Plugin assembly & Profiler
2. Download latest 365 SDK
3. Register the assembly freshly using new PRT from latest SDK
4. Install Profiler & try again
5. Most important - The error log you shared cannot be used to debug using Profiler. It will be different
