InvalidPluginExecutionException results in generic "An error has occurred" not "Business Process Error" dialog

Hello, I am hoping someone can help with this issue I am having with the UI dialogs that result from throwing InvalidPluginExecutionException in CRM plugins. Ordinarily when doing so, a "Business Process Error" dialog appears that surfaces the provided error message from the plugin. However specifically for handling win opportunity messages, I am not getting a "Business Process Error" dialog but instead a generic "An error has occurred". I am throwing the InvalidPluginExecutionException in the same way as in other plugins that handle create/change messages on other entities.

I have found this old forum post regarding a similar issue, however using the suggested multi catch approach is not working:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d7bc391d-32a1-4d7d-8cd5-48e459d4aeff/invalidpluginexecutionexception-dialog-does-not-show-up-crm-2011?forum=crmdevelopment

catch (InvalidPluginExecutionException)
{
    throw;
}
catch (FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
{
    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An FaultException occurred in the OnCreatePluginTest plug-in.", ex);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An Exception occurred in the OnCreatePluginTest plug-in.", ex);
}

Is there something that I am missing? It seems peculiar that this is only occurring for handling the win opportunity message. I appreciate any insights into this issue.

Hi,

This is because when you are registering plugin in opportunity win message its basically extending some existing process and your plugin treating as a child process so whenever any error occurred its showing the generic error .

As an alternate you can enable plugin trace log to see the actual error .

Hope this helps.

Thanks you for your reply, I have looked into this as well (enabling plugin trace), but what is confusing is that the message I passed to InvalidPluginExecutionException is displayed as the error in the downloadable log file (and in the trace), not a system level error. There doesn't appear to be a OrganizationServiceFault that is occurring prior to my plugin, so I cant see why the InvalidPluginExecutionException isnt being handled in the standard way.

Hi thanks for your reply, but I am attempting to carry out custom validation on the occurrence of a win opportunity message at a pre-operation or pre-validation stage. I have thrown together the below process flow to hopefully better describe the issue I am having with this. I would be grateful for any further ideas regarding this:

Hi ,

I don't think you can change this message , you can not change this behavior . Since this is coming from CRM internal assembly, which basically convert your plugin message as generic error .This is by design , however you can raise a ticket to Microsoft or share your issue to Microsoft .

Ok thank you for confirming that for me. It would be great is this was resolved as I'd expect InvalidPluginExecutionException

messages to be shown as expected regardless of the message/entity type if no system level error has occurred.
