    Upgrade to U6.2.1 throws "More than one converter for property type xxx" error on all CheckBoxTree datatypes

    Questions/Suggestions

    I just upgraded a site to Umbraco 6.2.1, and I'm seeing a "More than one converter for property type xxxx" error occurring on all data types that use uComponents: CheckBoxTree.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    There was a typo on the PropertyEditorValueConverter for TextstringArray. (My bad)

    There is a source-code fix available, but we haven't rolled it into a release yet. https://github.com/uComponents/uComponents/pull/21

    Current options are to either apply the source-code fix manually, or delete the uComponents.PropertyEditors.ValueConverters.dll from the /bin folder.

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    Sorry for the headache.

    To be honest I'm a bit surprised that no one else had noticed this sooner, our v6.0.0 has been out in the wild since last October - either no one is using it, or wanted to complain about it. (Jeez ya think someone would test this stuff eh?) ;-)

    So the official response is "who cares about 6.2.x noone is using that anyway, build it yourself" Is that correct?

    I have not found any indication that the above fix was ever released.

    For future Google sleuths:

    • clone the uComponents git repo
    • run build.cmd
    • copy all relevant *.dlls from src into target umbraco installation
    • make sure that you are properly using the new data type conversion.

    A side-effect of this change from textstringarray to checkboxtree property value convertor is that when you call GetProperty you are no longer getting a String, but a IEnumerable

    GetProperty<>
