Editable Area error in MVC tutorial.

Edgar Chiroldes asked on March 9, 2020 15:53

Hi, I installed the Kentico cms with a free license on my local PC. I'm going through the MVC development tutorial, in the section 'Displaying the page content "add to the view" @ Html.Kentico (). EditableArea ("editableArea") "according to the tutorial, but on the public site I get the following error:

License for feature 'ABTesting' not found. Descripción: Excepción no controlada al ejecutar la solicitud Web actual. Revise el seguimiento de la pila para obtener más información acerca del error y dónde se originó en el código.

Detalles de la excepción: CMS.DataEngine.LicenseException: License for feature 'ABTesting' not found.

Have you enabled AB testing in your Application_Start method or in the ApplicationConfig class? The code that enables AB testing is: 'builder.UseABTesting()'. I think the free license you have doesn't support this.

Hi Arjan van Hugten, Thanks for your response, I wrote the code 'builder.UseABTesting ()' in ApplicationConfig, but the issue remains unresolved. The free license may not support this functionality as you say, but under the conditions of the free license it does not clarify that this functionality is not available. Another thing is that I don't understand why the editable areas are linked to ABTesting.

You could try removing the code from your ApplicationConfig.cs and test if the issue is resolved. I don't know why the A/B test functionality is linked to the editable area. It could be that it is initialized with the editable area.

As far as I know you have three different licenses: Free, CMS and EMS. For A/B testing the EMS license is required as shown on the documentation page of the A/B feature. https://docs.kentico.com/k12sp/on-line-marketing-features/managing-your-on-line-marketing-features/optimization-testing/a-b-testing-website-pages/creating-a-b-tests-for-pages

Thanks again for the reply. Without the editable areas, I am not sure, but I believe that the functionality of creating customs widgets to add them to those areas is also lost. Thank you

You don't have to remove the editable area's. You could just remove the 'builder.UseABTesting()' from the ApplicationConfig and check if the editable area works or check if maybe a other exception appears.

I Remove the builder.UseABTesting () code from ApplicationConfig and also disable AB / Testing functionality in the backend and the editable areas work. Thanks for everything.
