    Umbraco Forms and using Umbraco.RenderMacroAsync in a partial

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 9

    Hi - When I follow https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Developer/Rendering-Scripts/ and add the following to a page view (i.e. something that inherits UmbracoViewPage) then the form shows just fine:

    “@await Umbraco.RenderMacroAsync("renderUmbracoForm", new {FormGuid="my-guid-here", FormTheme="bootstrap3-horizontal", ExcludeScripts="1"})”

    But i'm using nested content and want to use this macro within the partial view representing my nested content. When i try the above code I get:

    InvalidOperationException: Cannot return the IPublishedContent because the UmbracoHelper was not constructed with an IPublishedContent.

    How can I use the same “UmbracoHelper” instance in a partial view that the page template uses?

    I tried “@inject UmbracoHelper umbraco” so far which is what gives me the error above

    Thanks

    Andrew

    update: so rather than trying to follow the docs and use "renderUmbracoForm", I copied what the shipped "InsertUmbracoFormWithTheme" view does internally and used this to render the Umbraco form:

    @(await Component.InvokeAsync("RenderForm",new { formId = form.Id, recordId = Guid.Empty, theme = "my theme", includeScripts = false }))

    so should the umbraco 9 docs say to use that i wonder? Is "renderUmbracoForm" only in umbraco 9 for legacy purposes? I'm using umbraco 9.2.0 and Umbraco.Forms 9.2.1.

    Is the a clean way in umbraco 9 where you can simply show an umbraco form without using a macro? 🤞

    Thanks for posting about this Andrew, I've just spent the last hour or so trying to make a blocklist view component that allows CMS users to pick an Umb Form to insert (in v9).

    Quite why this isn't in the documentation I don't know, I get it when not everything is documented on Open Source stuff, but we're paying for a license to use this!
