While deploying SharePoint solution I got an error saying
that
Error occurred in deployment step ‘Activate features’:
Cannot complete this action. By checking the error in logs I have found the
exception details as
GetUserListSchema(): Failed to get the list schema XML
for feature
By digging into the issue I have
found that there is some scope activation details we are unable to deploy this
feature. In the code I have added a list definition and list template
associated to that list definition. I have added a new feature scoped with site
and moved List definition feature to that. So here I have changed the List definition
scope from web to Site and kept list template on the same scope. While
deploying the feature I got the error on that.
To fix this issue we have to edit the list instance
elements.xml file and need to update the list definition feature id in elements.xml
file.
We can update the list inastance elements.xml
as
<ListInstance Title="Name of the list instance"
TemplateType="10000"
FeatureId="List definition Feature ID"
Url="Lists/InstanceName"
Description="List instance description">
</ListInstance>
TemplateType="10000"
FeatureId="List definition Feature ID"
Url="Lists/InstanceName"
Description="List instance description">
</ListInstance>
By updating the feature id, Iam
able to deploy the solution without issues. Hope this helps.
