Courier 2.5 unable to deploy datatypes that could be deployed by Courier 2.1.1
I have tried upgrading to Courier 2.5 as using Courier 2.1.1, I had trouble deploying uComponents MNTP's. I am now trying 2.5 but have discovered that I am uable to deploy some datatypes that I previously could. Specifically the Embedd Content datatype: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/embedded-content. This worked fine with 2.1.1
I now get:
Umbraco.Courier.Core.Exceptions.PackageException:
Unable to load item with id 'd66a9dd5-5a3e-42f8-873f-ee5f95c6af99' from provider

Incidentally (and not to take away from my main issue), I have found other issues while trying to find a resolution to this:
If I check "Select All" in Datatypes & then remove the datatype I know won't transfer before transferring, I still get the exception above.
If I don't check "Select All" and manually select all the datatypes I want, it will create the revision just fine.
If I click on the "Change Contents" link, it doesn't show items that are already in the revision, but If I manually select the datatypes again - leaving the "Added + Dependencies" option, when I package selected, it does not package the dependencies & on occasions doesn't even package all the datatypes that are selected.
If the package is empty because it hasn't packaged anything the first time, I tried to then add items to the revision using the "Change Contents" link. This then throws an exception because the manifest.xml file doesnt exist.
From the error message, it seems like courie cannot load the DLL that the embedded data type uses, as Courier needs some information from the datatype interfaces, it needs to load it's type from the assembly that is behind the datatype, this seems to fail.
The sub-issues you mention, are most likely related to the issues with this assembly loading, as it would cause errors while packaging the datatypes and unexpectedly quite the packaging.
The issue is with Embedded Contents DLL, it internally depends on HttpContext, so the loading of data from it fails in the background thread, have a fix in place to avoid these things, will do a build of the dll later today, and merge it into the followup release schedueled for next week

Thanks Per - though the DLL is present so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to load it.
Hi Johnny
This thread has the same issue with Embedded Content, so posting updates there: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/courier/26028-Courier-Error-on-Datatype
The issue is with Embedded Contents DLL, it internally depends on HttpContext, so the loading of data from it fails in the background thread, have a fix in place to avoid these things, will do a build of the dll later today, and merge it into the followup release schedueled for next week
/per
Excellent Per! Thanks very much!
Hi Per,
Did you get this fix into the nightly build as I am using 2.5.1.71 build and it still fails on loading the embedded content dll?
Cheers,
Ed
