System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null

Hi All,

I created a Library that has been working fine and I recently upgraded Orchestrator to 2019.10.16 and Studio to 2019.10.3 and I have made some changes to it and I am trying to publish it and I am getting the following error:

Unexpected error has occurred during the library compilation process:

I have searched the forums and I can see people have had similar errors before but I have tried what they have suggested to no effect. Can anyone help me to know where abouts I should be looking for this issue?

I can see that something is not being set correctly, and Parameter is the node but I cannot find what that means anywhere.

Your help is greatly appreciated or a direction to look in!

Hi,

Quick Update - I have disabled every Invoke workflow activity in the entire library and added default Argument values to every argument and I still cannot get it to compile.

I then realised I was using a Microsoft package - Workflow Manager Activities so I just removed any activity that used this and the package itself and still I cannot get it to compile.

I cannot see what Studio is having an issue with as the error is so vague. Going to log it with the technical support team as I do not know what else I can do or than potentially downgrading my Studio version back to 2019.4.4

Hello @Gerard_McNamara_Ged. Please check out Updated Studio from 2019.10.2 to 2019.10.3 Community and now I have a null reference error on my Custom Library - #11 by ClaytonM.
You can either update to 2019.10.4 or switch the compiler.

Upgraded and it is working as expected. Thankyou
