Upgrade from 7.1.4 to 7.2.2; cannot render contour form
In production, I have U 7.1.4 and Contour 3.0.19, and everything works. I'm trying to do a relatively minor upgrade, just to U 7.2.2 since I don't want to jump all the way to 7.4 in one shot (don't trust it after all the problems in the 7.3.x line). On the home page, I have a Macro (should be a Partial View, but I tried that and it didn't change anything) which in turn calls
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("umbracoContour.RazorRenderForm", new {FormGuid = "6091e7e8-fc63-48e2-afe6-4bff99ae5300"})
and this just outputs
<Macro: (,)>
I tried changing the Guid to a wrong value, and it didn't alter the result. I tried changing the macro name to "asdf.RazorRenderForm" and it still didn't care. I tried changing the function call to RenderAsdf and that did correctly break it, showing that it's at least reading the file and processing the razor command.
I tried upgrading Contour to 3.0.28; no change. I really don't want to change to Umbraco Forms, because the last site I did that on took weeks of work to fix, and that's out of scope for now.
I even broke the MvcRenderContourForm.cshtml file with a syntax error, and it still didn't change anything, so it's not ever getting that far. I've already wasted about 3 hours on this; so tomorrow I'm going to just revert the whole project and try jumping to 7.4 because hey, it can't work any worse than this...
Even after upgrading to 7.4 and replacing Contour with Forms, I still just get
<Macro: (,)>
doesn't matter what parameters I use:
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("insertUmbracoForm", new { FormGuid = "82108125-e43e-4db8-a0c1-5f32ec629b40" })
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("insertUmbracoMagic", new { FormGuid = "82108125-e43e-4db8-a0c1-5f32ec629b40" })
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("crash", new { and = "burn" })
All produce the same result. Breakpoints on the insertUmbracoForm view never fire. The breakpoint on the .RenderMacro line DOES fire. If I try a different macro in the same place, it renders that macro correctly:
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("Footer")
Umbraco is a valid instance of the UmbracoHelper, it has a correct UmbracoInstance, which in turn has the correct PageId, for example, so I don't see that as the problem. It's just not even trying to render the macro.
Looks like manually creating the "insertUmbracoForm" macro fixed the trick, but now I have to deal with the massive style changes between Contour and Forms. (Well, technically, I get to punt that job to someone else, but they're not going to be happy about it.)
