Appsource Solution checker giving error il-avoid-lock-plugin

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MMK 745

Hi guyz

I have been trying to do solution Checker  in make.powerapps.com

and it is giving the error  

Issue : "il-avoid-lock-plugin"  which is coming due to Newtonsoft.dll 

Type :Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.MemoryTraceWriter

Issue 

A plug-in or workflow activity assembly was identified as using the following pattern: System.Void System.Threading.Monitor.Enter(System.Object, System.Boolean). The use of lock statements in plug-ins or workflow assemblies are generally used for auto numbering solutions and can cause stability or performance issues. Avoid using lock statements in plug-in transactions. If you are using this for auto numbering please use the platform auto number feature.

how can i remove this issue to pass the solution checker for solution

below is screenshot

    probably the assembly of the error is IL merged with newtonsoft dll and the checker found that a method of that dll is not allowed.

    without knowing other details my suggestion is to don't IL merge assemblies

    if you use to manipulate json you can also do that without newtonsoft library, for example:

    www.crmanswers.net/.../json-and-crm-sandbox-plugins.html

    so identify the portion of code where you are using newtonsoft and try to find an alternative

    hope it helps

    i can't use json without newtonsoft because first the JSON we is very dynamic and huge json

    second there are so many plugins using different jsons so it might be very very......... difficult to update all plugins written years before and in production

    Any other way out for this

    then don't use solution checker, it's not mandatory

    that's needed to upload solution on AppSource

    then in my opinion you have two options:

    1) you don't publish in app source

    2) you don't use newtonsoft library merged

    of course this is my opinion, maybe others will have other suggestions for your scenario

    hope it helps
