Oh dear.

It looks like their is something wrong with your usyncsettings.config file - the GetSettings() function just loads the config in - did you have a previous version running? or was this a fresh usync install?

I'll have a look in the code to see if i can put better checking in the config bits, but for now, you can remove the jumps.umbraco.usync.dll (which is usync) or copy the config from the pacakge zip file into the config folder to get it up and running.

Hi - I've put some more fail logic into the settings - so it should at least not do this.

When the config file is missing or corrupted - usync will run with the default settings (Read = True, Write=False, Attach=True)

but i would be interested to know if your install has the usyncsettings.config file and if it does what it looks like.

Thanks for your effort! I had uSync installed. Sure, this is my config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="usync" type="jumps.umbraco.usync.uSyncSettingsSection,jumps.umbraco.usync" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />
  </configSections>

  <usync read="false" write="false" attach="false" folder="~/uSync/" archive="~/uSync.Archive" versions="true" preserve="false">

      dictionary ="false"
    />     

    <!-- experimental (v1.5+)-->
    <!--

    <DocumentTypes
      DeletePropertyValues="true" 
      />

  </usync>
</configuration>

humm..

that works for me as a config, it's possible it's an encoding issue, the umbracotracelog.txt (in app_data/logs) might shed more light on it.

for example if the propertynames are mangled you get

jumps.umbraco.usync.uSyncSettings - [Thread 48] Error loading settings file System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'refad'. 

At the moment I'm just continuing to alter and try to break the config file in as many ways as possible so I can capture all the errors.

Kevin

Hi Kevin, I couldn't find any other error in the logs. So I deleted the old uSync first and made sure that the uSync config file was deleted because of maybe an encoding issue as you suggested. After that I downloaded 2.2.2 and it installed perfectly fine!

Thanks so much for your help and for this awesome package!

Hi, just to add, I had this issue when I had deployed my site but not included the USync config file. I added the file and still had the error - so don't forget to restart the site (or delete the umbraco.config, tap the web.config). All is fine again now!

Thanks

is working on a reply...
