Installing Sitecore 9, SIF Error on installing SOLR cores - sitecore

When installing Sitecore with SIF, I experiencing the following error.
These are my modules
who can help thank you

For Sitecore 9.0 (update-x) you need SIF 1.2.1,
Since you already have a newer SIF version, it will uses the latest version and fail.
You can add this on the top of your PowerShell script to force use the 1.2.1 version:
Remove-Module -Name SitecoreInstallFramework
Import-Module -Name SitecoreInstallFramework -RequiredVersion 1.2.1
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Note: If you have already before installed Sitecore with higher SIF version, then you are probably running into a certificate issue when you fix the wrong SIF version error. See Sitecore XP 9.0 Update-2 installation fails when XP 9.1 is installed on the same PC
or you can delete the other Sitecore certificates if you don't need them, (Personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities) with certmgr
or with PowerShell:
Set-Location Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
#get a list
Get-ChildItem | Format-Table FriendlyName, Thumbprint -AutoSize
#example of remove a certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root\301F9A11F82BF45DA853BE573811AFF4ACA3B7CE | Remove-Item
Because your installation failed, it is also possible you have already created a certificates with precisely the same DNS name as the installer try to create than you also need to delete the old not in use certificate.

A while ago, we encountered this issue too. After some research we found out that the casing of the parameter "name" didn't match between the installer scripts and the configuration files (The scripts used "name" while the config files mentioned "Name"). After renaming the parameter in the config files, the installation process could continue.
sitecore-solr.json
xconnect-solr.json

Google Cloud SDK installation fails on Windows 10

When I tried to install Google Cloud SDK, it fails:
Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!
To use the Google Cloud SDK, you must have Python installed and on your PATH.
As an alternative, you may also set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable
to the location of your Python executable.
Google Cloud SDK installer will now exit.
Press any key to continue . . .
I installed Python and copied system32 path in system variable and environment variable even, but still fails. What's going wrong?
I had the same problem some time ago, this is how I solved it:
uninstall cloud sdk (delete also the folder), uninstall python
reboot you system
launch the installer and select "install bundled python"
when the installer asks for an installation path, point to "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\gcloud"
I had a problem with my windows installation since I had different permissions set on the default path suggested which was "Program Files (x86)".
Starting fresh + changing path fixed the issue for me :)

unknown error: call function result missing 'value' for Selenium Send Keys even after chromedriver upgrade

I am getting the below error while sending keys.
Result Message:
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)
I have updated the chrome driver to 2.36 but still my code search for 2.33?
Any idea ?
I've gotten the same error, please download the last ChromeDriver version and/or update chrome browser version and it will be working fine :)
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36/
After updating the Google Chrome browser to Version 65.0.3325.146 (Official Build) (64-bit), I'm also encountered with the same error
while sending values to the input field, here's the error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
using Chromedriver 2.32 and Google Chrome 65.0
As I did some research on the same, I found a recent commit on Google chrome v65 changelogs which help me to resolve the issue.
Solution:
Update Google Chrome to latest stable version (in my case it's v65 on 9/mar/2018)
Download and configure latest chromedriver (v2.36).
For configuring chromedriver (on Ubuntu) follow these steps...
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Copy the extracted chromedriver file to /usr/local/bin or to the location where you usually store the executable binaries.
Add the same path (where you place the chromedriver file) to environment variable PATH as
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
For testing the installation, restart the terminal and type this command
chromedriver --version
it would show the version of chromedriver that you just installed.
Note: If the chromedriver already installed and configured then just replace the existing driver file and If you don't know where the Chromedriver binaries already stored then try to find the file using following command
sudo find -H / -type f -iname chromedriver
It is because of the update of chrome browser version from 64.xx to 65.xx
Now you have 2 options to run your tests successfully.
Downgrade your chrome browser to previous version and with the old chromedriver which you have now.
Upgrade your Chromedriver to 2.36 version with the updated Chrome browser.
visit https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36 and download the new chromedriver.
Option 2 is better.
Replace your ChromeDriver.exe with latest version.. Same can be downloaded from Google easily.
Also its better to get it done automatically by using webDriver manager as explained below -
1. Add Mvn dependency to your project POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>${webdrivermanager.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Now in your Browser instantiation class instead of using traditional way to create driver i.e. by using System.setProperty(See belwo)...
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
Use below approach:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
And that's all, you are done!
Use below links for your reference-
What is Browser Binary Manager how to use it for Selenium
or chkout git project for same-

Need to update chromedriver :
In console, run: chromedriver-update 2.36
The error says it all :
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120
The error clearly complains about InvalidOperationException
Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :
You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v60-62
You are using chrome=65.0
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v64-66
Your Selenium Client version is unknown to us.
So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)
Solution
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
Keep Chrome version in between Chrome v64.x-66.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Web Browser/Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Browser/Web Client.
Execute your #Test.
If you are on Mac:
brew upgrade selenium-server-standalone
brew upgrade chromedriver
if the above two are not installed:
brew install selenium-server-standalone
brew install chromedriver
I'm running Protractor and have encountered the same issue.
The solution in my case was rather simple.
$ npm update protractor -g
$ webdriver-manager update
If you are on the latest stable Google Chrome (e.g. 67) I recommend to:
brew uninstall chromedriver
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install chromedriver
These set of commands will uninstall your current chromedriver, check for updates and install the latest found (e.g. 2.40).
Use xpaths instead of class names to locate elements
After updating chrome and its drivers it didn't helped me at all!!
I don't know how much it makes sense but it worked for me when i replaced class name with xpath. This is the xpath , i used to automate sending whatsapp message using python.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div')
previously i Was Using
driver.find_element_by_class_name('Some class Name Here')
In my case the team I'm on points selenium to a specific chromedriver file we had. In order to get Selenium to use the updated chromedriver, I first installed it with brew and then created a symbolic link to point where Selenium looks for it:
brew install chromedriver
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.36/bin/chromedriver /path/where/selenium/expects/chromedriver
On the chance this might be helpful to someone I needed an additional step:
I am on MacOS X. I did
brew upgrade chromedriver
bundle exec chromedriver-upgrade
I have the chromedriver-helper gem installed, but it is stashed and requires the "bundle exec" prefix or the shell can't find the command.
The above fixed my problem.
As mentioned by others, the latest chromedriver did the trick for me. In case you downloaded the driver manually and want to tell appium to use the new chromedriver you can do so by this command:
appium --chromedriver-executable /path/to/driver/chromedriver ....
I'm running Protractor (webdriver-manager) with Selenium in a Windows environment, and I had to do the following:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome="2.36" (This downloaded the new Chromedriver to the right path but didn't enable it in protractor.)
Edit %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\config.json and changed the chromedriver value from 2.32 to 2.36.
Delete my old chromedriver_2.32.exe from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium for good measure (not sure if that was required.)
Or:
When another Chromedriver update became needed, I was no longer able to update this way. A configuration setting still expected the old path and filename, and I couldn't figure out where to change that setting. So I just renamed the latest chromedriver to "chromedriver.exe" and stuck it in C:\Windows\system32 (which is always referenced by PATH). Crude, but effective.
If you're using gulp-protractor plugin, make sure to update it as well.
I don't know if you're still on this, but I was receiving a similar error. I had the latest version of chromedriver in my PATH and Google Chrome was updated. I run Python 3.6 on windows 10 x64 bit. What I was getting trying to select a value from a dropdown menu on a webpage. The weird thing was, it would select the dropdown value correctly and the page would be updated nicely, but I'd receive that stupid error anyway and my script would freeze. So I just made an exception error handler for it, because like I said it selected the dropdown value correctly, so I just wanted to bypass that dumb error message:
# select by value
try:
select.select_by_value('100')
except:
pass
hopefully someone finds this helpful.
The issue is because of mismatch in chromedriver and chrome browser version.
Below link specifies the versions of chromedriver supporting the chrome browser's version.

Drupal 8 - Commerce Module - BC math PHP extension not found

I'm trying to install the commerce module in Drupal 8 however I get the error 'BC math PHP extension not found'.
I've searched for this problem and tried different things such as editing the PHP.ini by adding 'bcmath.scale=2' however I still get the error message.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Just install bcmath plugin for your php version with no need to (re)build php as mentioned on accepted answer
# get php version
php -v
# install bcmath based on your version lets assume php 7.1
# for ubuntu
sudo apt install php7.1-bcmath
# for centos
yum install bcmath
# restart apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Above problem appears when installing commerce or commerce kickstart using composer
Update 2020
Please refer to #GiorgosK's answer for installing bcmath via a package manager if you are using a distribution that provides a bcmath package for PHP. I will ask the OP in comments to update the recommended answer, since that solution is probably what most people need.
Three years ago when I answered this question, I suggested that you have to rebuild PHP to get bcmath. That was incorrect. I was using an older distribution of Debian/Ubuntu that provided bcmath as a statically linked extension in the core php package. I determined at the time (incorrectly) that bcmath was a core extension that had to be enabled at build-time (like SPL and PCRE).
For those trying to troubleshoot a missing bcmath extension (such as those building/installing PHP themselves or nevertheless encountering issues), I've corrected and updated my original answer below. It explains in detail how to troubleshoot a missing PHP extension.
Original Answer (Corrected)
The error message indicates that PHP wasn't built with bcmath support or can't find the installed extension. PHP extensions are either built into PHP directly or they are loaded from an external dynamic library file at runtime.
Since PHP obviously doesn't have the extension built-in, it can't find the external library file that provides bcmath. This file on POSIX platforms will be called bcmath.so and php_bcmath.dll on Windows.
Extension files are installed under a directory indicated by the extension_dir property in php.ini. To determine the value of this property, run the following command:
php -r 'echo ini_get("extension_dir").PHP_EOL;'
The default value for this property is configured when PHP is built and may vary from distribution-to-distribution.
Once you verify the extension file is installed in this location, you can then check to see if the extension is enabled in php.ini. You should see a line that enables the extension like so:
# POSIX platforms
extension=bcmath.so
# Windows
extension=php_bcmath.dll
For Linux distributions like Ubuntu/Debian that install extensions via the package manager, the format is somewhat different since Debian employs a distributed configuration. Typically the package manager installs everything correctly, but you can check to see if an ini file exists for bcmath under the corresponding conf.d directory. These small ini files are snippets imported into the larger php.ini file, and they are typically symlinked to /etc/phpX/mods-available, allowing modules to be initially enabled for all PHP SAPIs such as CLI, CGI, Apache Mod PHP, ETC. Make sure a symlink exists for the PHP SAPI you need to use.
To ensure your PHP is loading the extension, run phpinfo(); in a test page and search for bcmath. You can also more easily do this with the CLI using a command like:
$ php -i | grep -i bcmath
# Success output: BCMath support => enabled
# (Another command that works well for checking extensions)
$ php -m | grep -i bcmath
# Success output: bcmath
In order for the CLI to show accurate results, it must target the same php.ini file. If it doesn't, then use the -c option to temporarily point the CLI at the correct php.ini (i.e. the one being used by your Drupal site).
Add BC MATH extension for PHP 7.2
If you are getting this (https://prnt.sc/sehmd5) error then, run below command using vagrant ssh
Run these command in root of vagrant ssh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php7.2-bcmath
service apache2 restart
Then open php.ini and search for bcmath
If bcmath scale is 0, Change it to 2
Restart php
Restart Apache
Hard Reload website
Install required modules
Similarly for any version of PHP, you only need to change PHP version in 3rd command.

Drupal Console Running in Docroot

➜ docroot git:(master) ✗ drupal list
You must set up the project dependencies using `composer install`
I am trying to get the full list of commands for console and to do so I must run the console in the root of my Drupal site. However, when I type drupal list, I get the error above. Can someone tell me what this means? I did run composer install and I still get this error. Tried googling, no luck. I do have composer installed.
Update: I am in docroot and am back to getting this warning:
[WARNING] In order to list all of the available commands you should install
drupal first.
There seems to be a lot of this going around, according to Google and no one answer. Could be a bug. I do have a drupal site installed. I am using the Thunder Distro.

Build of a ASP.NET Core RC2 project fails on Visual Studio Team Services

I have an ASP.NET Core RC2 project hosted with Git in Visual Studio Team Services.
When I try build using the Visual Studio Build task in Build vNext I get the following error "The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\DotNet\Microsoft.DotNet.Props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk."
I can build locally using VS2015 with the .Net Core SDK RC2.
Is there a way to get Asp.Net core RC2 SDK on to the hosted agent - I dont really want to create a custom one.
Anyone know when the .Net Core RC2 SDK will be added the build agent or where to even look for that information.
Thanks.
Unfortunately you'll have to create your own private agent with Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and the latest dotnet tools. The team consider .NET Core 1 RC2 as pre-release software, and don't as a rule install pre-release software on the hosted agent image.
You can add a PowerShell script task in your build definition to install the required runtime for Asp.Net Core project.
