Provisioning Form error

Forms
1

Hi, I am following the guide on form provisioning (SP 2019) and am getting the attached error. The only things I am changing from the guide are the variables: login, password, ListTitle, formPath and webUrl.

Is there something else I am doing incorrectly?

Hello @Nathan,

You need to specify the name of the content type in this line instead of contentType:

var cType = cts.FirstOrDefault(ct => ct.Name == contentType);

I'm a bit confused, is this not declared as "contentType" further up and is "Item"

I have tried using "Item" but that does not work either? As it's a standard list, the only content type is Item?

        var listTitle = "FormsList";
        // NAME OF THE CONTENT TYPE:
        var contentType = "Item";
        // PATH TO THE EXPORTED FORM:
        var formPath = "c:\\provision\\Item_Edit_WIP2020_V2_OCT2020.xfds";
        // URL OF THE NEW SITE:
        var webUrl = "https://url";

        using (var ctx = new ClientContext(webUrl))
        {
            ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, password);
            
            // Specify a list which form you want to replace
            var list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
            var cts = list.ContentTypes;

            ctx.Load(list);
            ctx.Load(cts);
            ctx.ExecuteQuery();

            // Specify a content type which form you want to replace
            var cType = cts.FirstOrDefault(ct => ct.Name == contentType);

            var forms = new FormsManager(ctx, list.Id, cType.Id.ToString());

            var layout = XDocument.Load(formPath);

            // THE FORM WILL REPLACE A DEFAULT NEW FORM IN THE TARGET LIST:
            forms.GenerateForms(Guid.Empty, FormTypes.New, layout);

I have got this working by amending to the following:

Uri hubUri = new Uri("https:/fullurl");

            using (var ctx = new ClientContext(webUrl))
            {
                //ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, password);
                var test = new SPClientProvider(0,login, passwordasstring);
                // Specify a list which form you want to replace
                var list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
                var cts = list.ContentTypes;

                ctx.Load(list);
                ctx.Load(cts);
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();

                // Specify a content type which form you want to replace
                var cType = cts.FirstOrDefault(ct => ct.Name == "Item");

                var forms = new FormsManager(test, hubUri, list.Id, cType.Id.ToString());
