Just documenting my new user journey here.
I had the above open issues .. but the solution would deploy and run on SharePoint Online 2013 and I could jump between screens.
I decided to add some new Sharepoint libraries, but then my solution would not compile or deploy. So I removed them but same issue. Tried, closing/opening vs 12 – no luck. So I removed packages and reinstalled lightswitch html .. now the solution compiles, deploys and opens up in sharePoint, but pages now give me:
Exception is about to be caught by JavaScript library code at line 5, column 111756 in https://localhost:44300/HTMLClient/Scripts/msls-1.0.1.min.js
0x800a138f – JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'read’ of undefined or null reference
File: msls-1.0.1.min.js, Line: 5, Column: 111756
I noticed there is a jquery update pending, but when I attempt it I get this:
Installing 'jQuery 2.0.3′.
Successfully installed 'jQuery 2.0.3′.
Updating 'jQuery’ from version ’1.9.1′ to ’2.0.3′ in project 'lightswitchSP1.HTMLClient’.
Install failed. Rolling back…
Updating 'jQuery 1.9.1′ to 'jQuery 2.0.3′ failed. Unable to find a version of 'Microsoft.LightSwitch.Client.JavaScript.Runtime’ that is compatible with 'jQuery 2.0.3′.
Maybe I need to update jquery and then install lightswitch html? Does reinstalling libraries break the application. I’ve tried rebuilds and closing/opening vs multiple times. tried clearing browser cache. no luck.
