Continuous Integration Error: Message: Restoration of object type "User" failed during objects' dele

Lance Keay asked on September 28, 2017 13:17

I'm trying to use the CI in v10.0.24. When trying to restore the CI objects from Git, it runs fine for a few minutes and then shows the following error. It seems that CI is trying to delete the Global Admin and having a problem:

I think I wouldn't trust such sources that wants to delete Global Admin. I would rather ask what author of those changes wanted to achieve.

It is very odd that someone deleted global administrator. For the interum, take your instance that has global admin, in continuous integration serialize all objects, push your global admin user XML file up to GitHub and then try to pull down and full restore. Should get you back going, also may want to look it for some reason that file was just not pushed in the initial ci push. Git is usually good about not missing the files but it's definitely possible.

Are you using visual studio online tfs or GitHub though, because visual studio online tfs skips user and class objects and you need special ignore files to include them.

@Woj - I just dumped all the objects, and by default, it delete the Global Admin! I don't think that there were any changes. But when you turn on CI and serialize all objects, this is what happens!

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up editing the repository.config file and only choosing some of the objects that I was interested in - templates, pages, etc. Now it only takes about 30 seconds to run, rather than 15min and failing.

@trev - We are using Github - I don't think I was missing files. I think serializing all objects, committing them to github then running ContinuousIntegration.exe -r without a modified .config file was what caused the error.

I would have expected that Kentico would have gracefully ignored attempting to delete objects that are not allowed to be deleted.

Very odd, glad you resolve it Lance, we have a CI integration site and although a bit of a learning curve with getting the repositories right, haven't ran into that issue.

I just ran into the same issue, but made no edits to the repository config file. I'm not certain what is causing this issue, going to try the above recommended solution.
