Technical Upgrade From Business Central Version 14 to Version 20 - Code Conversion from C/AL to AL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Nick Webb 785

I've got to Task 3 (Convert your v14 C/AL application to AL) of the procedure on this link:-

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/upgrade-technical-upgrade-v14-v20

which has a link to another page below:-

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/devenv-code-conversion

On this page, I've got to Task 7: Create and build an AL project for custom base application.

On attempting step 11: Build and compile your project (press Ctrl+Shift+B), it fails with the errors below:-

error AL0999: Internal error: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.)

Any ideas what's causing this to fail?

    This issue happened due to you need to change assemblyProbingPath to only include the Service assemblies in the setting. Json to be   "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\\200\\Service",

    "al.assemblyProbingPaths": [

               "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\\200\\Service",

               "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\\200\\RoleTailored Client",

    I'm afraid not. Most frustrating. My colleague has raised a Technical Support ticket with Microsoft. We're waiting on them right now.

    Dear Nick Webb,

    have you got resolution of this error. I am also facing issue in same step .

    Convert your v14 C/AL application to AL) of the procedure on this link:-

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/upgrade-technical-upgrade-v14-v20

    which has a link to another page below:-

    Hello,

    This is probably very difficult to answer without having a direct access to the system. The error Object reference not set to an instance of an object is a very generic one I am affraid.

    Thanks.
