tried to publish a nopcommerce 3.9 app on my server and i got this error
publish has encountered an error Object reference not set to an instance of an object A diagnostic log has been written to following location
Log File:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ApplicationCapabilities.Publish.Provider.DefaultPublishTabProvider.InitializeProvider(IVsHierarchy hierarchy) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ApplicationCapabilities.Publish.Provider.DefaultPublishTabProvider.d__0.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ApplicationCapabilities.Publish.Provider.ManagedPublishProvider.d__1.MoveNext()
and i haven't installed SQL Server yet on my pc,haven't installed NopCommerce on my pc either and never made any changes to the source code
Edit:it's not duplicate of another question because in that case i would have gotten a run time error this happens when i want to publish it and the program runs just fine and my problem is in publish scenario
VS 2017 V15.5.5 has a bug in publishing try updating your VS
