During the package phase of a VSeWSS deployment, an exception is thrown. From the logs:
2009/11/02 11:59:46 Error System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2.Add(TKey key, TValue value) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Tools.SharePointProxies.WSPViewFacade.CreateWebPartReferenceResolverClassMap(String[] paths) at VSeWSS.Server.Services.SPService.CreateWebPartReferenceResolverClassMap(String[] paths)
Has anyone seen this before? I have checked all my feature.xml files and my solution.xml to see if any id's have been duplicated, and they aren't. I've also checked the names of features, and they also have not been duplicated. Any hints?
I finally ended up completely reconstituting the project, and all is well again. I would normally submit something like this to MS Connect, but there's no way they're going to fix this. VSeWSS as a VS2008 plugin is a completely dead product.
We'll just have to struggle along until we get VS2010, at which point I can start filing connect bugs.
