Metadata files not found

 

System.InvalidOperationException: Entity Server Error in: MeasurementPpaRepository ---> IdeaBlade.EntityModel.EntityServerException: Key 'MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey': The model's metadata artifact files (csdl, msl, ssdl) are either invalid or could not be found, either as resources in an assembly or loose in the output directory.  Perhaps you have multiple assemblies containing the same metadata. Check the connection string for key 'MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey', which says the artifact filenames are MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey.csdl, MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey.ssdl, and MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey.msl. Do these names match the actual artifact filenames? All three root names (e.g., 'MeasurementPpaDataSourceKey') should be the same and match the edmx filename unless you changed them deliberately.

Do you have any suggestions for where I should be looking to troubleshoot this error? 

I have two model project pairs and two modules.  The 6.1.5 model projects and module work just fine (with the 6.1.6 dll's).  The 6.1.6 model projects and module complain about the metadata.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Simon

 

 

We will take a look at it.

We have a ton of modules and models that all use the same connection string.  So we have a CustomDataSourceKeyResolver that auto-resolves the DataSourceKey if the DataSourceKey property is set to the exact name of the .edmx file.

 

class CustomDataSourceKeyResolver : IDataSourceKeyResolver 
    {
        public IDataSourceKey GetKey(string keyName, string keyExtension, bool onServer)
        {
            if (!onServer) return null;
            try
            {
                string site = "/Ag";
#if DEBUG
                site = "/ExperimentWeb";  //When ran locally this is the site name
#endif
                System.Configuration.Configuration rootWebConfig =
                    System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(site);
 
                System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings connString;
                string conKey = "TheOneKey";
                if (rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings.Count > 0)
                {
                    conKey = string.IsNullOrEmpty(keyExtension) ? conKey : keyExtension;
                    connString = rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings[conKey];
                    if (connString == null) return null;
                }
                else
                {
                    return null;
                }
 
                bool trace = keyName != "CommonModel";
                string name = string.IsNullOrEmpty(keyExtension) ? keyName : keyName + "_" + keyExtension;
                string connectionString =
                    string.Format(
                        "metadata=res://*/{0}.csdl|res://*/{0}.ssdl|res://*/{0}.msl;provider={2};provider connection string='{1}'",
                        keyName, connString.ConnectionString, connString.ProviderName);
                return new ClientEdmKey(name, connectionString, trace, "FromResolver");
            } catch
            {
                throw new Exception("Unable to find connection information.");
            }
        }
