Error upgrading from Orchard Core 1.8.2 to 2.0.2: JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to OrchardCore.Settings.ResourceDebugMode. Path: $.ResourceDebugMode | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 122

[MarGraz]

Hi Everyone,

I’m encountering a strange error when upgrading Orchard Core from version 1.8.2 to 2.0.2. I’m working in a dedicated branch to perform the upgrade. Previously, in another branch, I attempted to upgrade directly to 2.1.2 but was unsuccessful due to this error.
So, I created a new branch starting from my 1.8.2 dev branch to upgrade to 2.0.2. However, when I start my microservice with the 2.0.2 package, I get this strange error:

JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to OrchardCore.Settings.ResourceDebugMode. Path: $.ResourceDebugMode | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 122.

Do you know how can I fix this? 🤔

Thank you

Here the raw exception:

I think the ResourceDebugMode value in the "OrchardCore.Settings.SiteSettings, OrchardCore.Settings" content in the Document table has changed with 2.0.

For example, it should be like this;

"ResourceDebugMode":"Disabled"

Can you manually edit the record and try?

Hi @emrahtokalak,

thank you for your answer.
In the Document table, for the Type OrchardCore.Settings.SiteSettings, OrchardCore.Settings I can see the JSON content attached below (I removed using asterisks all the sensible data).

I edited the ResourceDebugMode to "Disabled", with OC 2.0.2 was not working, but upgrading to 2.1.2 fixed it 😊
Probably something changed because first I attempted to upgrade directly to 2.1.2.

Thank you so much!
