Error importing solution: Found more than one RibbonDiff entity
Hi,
When trying to import (actually update) an unmanaged solution, the import process failed due to an error in the ribbon of an existent entity. Pretty odd I didn’t modify it since last import.
I downloaded the log file and found the actual error message which was:
Error
Found more than one RibbonDiff entity
Did some research and found it is a known issue, documented in this KB article.
Cause
What the above article suggests is that there may be duplicate LocLabel nodes with same LocLabel Id. Nevertheless, after opening my customizations.xml I couldn’t find any duplicates.
Solution
In my case, what I did to sort out this problem was:
- Open solution zip file and edit customizations.xml (back it up first, obviously
) - Completely replace the whole <RibbonDiffXml> node with just an empty one:
- Just leave it as is: “<RibbonDiffXml />”
- Import the solution. This time, it should work and import process should complete successfully.
- Publish customizations
- Undo the changes to customizatinos.xml file, restoring the original <RibbonDiffXml> node.
- Import again the solution.
- It should work again
.
Hope it helps to save you some time.
