    Problems with 7.6.3 upgrade

    Hi,

    Anyone else having issues with the upgrade from 7.6.1 to 7.6.3?

    So, upgraded via NuGet - first problem is the requirement to have nuGet version 3 - which means you have to have VS2015 or above. Issue 1.

    OK, so use VS2015 - use NuGet to upgrade. Unfortunately, Umbraco 7.6.3 doesn't support the latest versions of AutoMapper and a host of other packages so can't do a simple Update All.

    OK, so just select to upgrade the Umbraco.Core and Umbraco.CMS packages. All goes through fine - accept the usual gripe about overwriting a host of config files for no reason - including the grid.editors.config.js and the umbracoSettings.config so we then have to go through all those and copy them over - including any scheduled tasks.

    Build the solution and watch a host of issues for the PermissionsHandler.asmx. Run the application and it just crashes/hangs with the errors on the PermissionsHandler.

    Anyone else having this issue? Is anyone else finding the whole 7.6.X experience half done and not up to the usual Umbraco standard?

    First off: Umbraco is a complex solution

    1. Correct - it's a catch-22 if we don't require this NuGet version some people can't upgrade, now that we do require it, some people will need to install VS2015 :(
    2. You have never been able to do Update All with an Umbraco project, sorry. Maybe in v8 it will be better.
    3. You can answer No to all to not overwrite config files. This is recommended in the upgrade documentation as well. Of course you have everything under source control, right? So a quick revert if something went wrong is easy.
    4. Don't include PermissionsHandler.asmx in your solution. :-) You're the first person I've heard having problems with this asmx, what are the errors? Still have errors after you exclude it from the solution?

    FYI: neither the umbraco nor the umbraco_client folder should be included in your solution or at the very least those files should not be set to Compile, set them to Content instead.
