hoping some one here can help me out with this one.
I am migrating our current Umbraco 7 project to Umbraco 8.
We have a custom back office section that uploads a CSV and creates new content from the CSV rows. The code seems to run fine and creates/saves the content. However it does not appear in the back office or in the database when I check.
The controller which has the method below is inheriting from UmbracoAuthorizedApiController
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> UploadFileToServer()
{
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
{
throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);
}
//Id for the parent
var vehicleList = Umbraco.Content(2873);
var provider = new MultipartMemoryStreamProvider();
await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider);
var file = provider.Contents.First();
var filename = file.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName.Trim('\"');
_logger.Debug(this.GetType(), $"uploading file {filename}");
var buffer = await file.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
var stream = new MemoryStream(buffer);
string payload;
using (var s = new StreamReader(stream))
{
var DataReader = new DataReader();
var validateResult = DataReader.Validate(filename, s);
if (validateResult.ImportedOK)
{
_logger.Debug(this.GetType(), $"file {filename} has no duplicates");
IDataTypeService dts = Services.DataTypeService;
var stocklistStatus = dts.GetAll().First(z => z.Name == "StocklistStatus");
var dataType = dts.GetDataType(stocklistStatus.Id);
ValueListConfiguration prevalues =
(ValueListConfiguration)dataType.Configuration;
int pendingstatus = prevalues
.Items
.Where(x => x.Value == "Pending")
.Select(i => i.Id)
.FirstOrDefault();
var service = Services.ContentService;
using (var scope = _scopeProvider.CreateScope())
{
var db = scope.Database;
foreach (var item in validateResult.ImportRows)
{
var cleanedreg = Utility.CleanReg(item.Reg);
var cleanedConverterUsername = item.Converter.TrimStart('0');
var guid = new Guid("e597cb94-727d-44d2-987c-2d6d8e3b73c2");
var vehicle = service
.Create(cleanedreg, guid, "Vehicle", Security.GetUserId()
.Result);
var alreadyExists = ArchiveVehicleDataProvider
.CheckIfVehicleSoldExpiredBefore(db, cleanedreg, _logger);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Colour)
.Alias, item.Colour);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Converter)
.Alias, cleanedConverterUsername);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Doors)
.Alias, item.Doors);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.ElectricBelt)
.Alias, item.ElectricBelt);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Fuel)
.Alias, item.Fuel);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Make)
.Alias, item.Make);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Mileage)
.Alias, item.Mileage);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Model)
.Alias, item.Model);
vehicle.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.AdditionalInformation)
.Alias, item.Additional);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Price)
.Alias, item.Price);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.Seats)
.Alias, item.Seats);
vehicle
.SetValue(Vehicle
.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.PublishedDate)
.Alias, DateTime.Now);
var result = service.SaveAndPublish(vehicle);
}
}
}
_logger.Debug(this.GetType(), $"file {filename} loaded into database");
payload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(validateResult);
}
HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
response.Content = new StringContent(payload);
return response;
}
When I check the logs under App_Data it seems to suggest the items are being published.
{
"@t":"2023-03-30T12:39:46.2787407Z",
"@mt":"Document {ContentName} (id={ContentId}) has been published.",
"ContentName":"Vehicle123",
"ContentId":0,
"SourceContext":"Umbraco.Core.Services.Implement.ContentService",
"ProcessId":10848,"ProcessName":"iisexpress",
"ThreadId":5,"AppDomainId":2,
"AppDomainAppId":"LMW3SVC2ROOT",
"MachineName":"AT1149",
"Log4NetLevel":"INFO ",
"HttpRequestNumber":3,
"HttpRequestId":"f61e2d8f-71ac-48a9-87ce-e4ed98354c58"
}
There are no errors and can't see any thing obvious when stepping through the code. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Another strange behaviour I have just noticed with line
var result = service.SaveAndPublish(vehicle);
Will give the content an ID. I have let the code run and "create" the content and the first result had an ID of 48863. Although I am unable to see this in the DB or Umbraco.
I have then closed and restarted the project and run the same code using the same CSV. This time I was given an ID of 48873. Incremented by the exact record length of the last upload. So it appears that a record of the ID's is kept somewhere although I can't find. (This could be a red herring on the original issue however)
The import and entire project is being built in a separate project from the original v7 solution so there should be no references to the old v7 database.
As far as I can see, you're not "committing" the changes made in your scope, which might be why you're seeing things being created - they are likely getting rolled back again.
So if you add something like scope.Complete() right after the foreach, it might do the trick?
