Expected or Desired Behavior

To package the solution and upload the sharepoint package file to my app catalog.

Observed Behavior

Uploaded .sppkg file to app catalog, but Valid App Package column has value of No with Error in App Package also displayed on column value.

Steps to Reproduce

Inside Solution folder, install NPM and gulp, adjust the write-manifest.json to have a cdnBasePath value which is my sharepoint assets folder. run gulp bundle -ship, upload files from deploy folder to sharepoint asset folder. run gulp package-solution -ship. upload .sppkg file to app catalog.

My extensions in the starter kit are not working. My all starter kit is complete but the extensions not working and so that's why footer is not working

Webparts for personal mail and appointments show an error:

n.setAttribute is not a function. (In 'n.setAttribute("sandbox","allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms allow-pointer-lock")', 'n.setAttribute' is undefined)

After a couple of times refreshing the page (F5) the error goes away, but turns up now and again.

Expected or Desired Behavior

The script fails when the tenant is having the default managed path set to teams for group creation. Groups get created but applying of the template fails as /sites/ is captured hardcoded in the script. Suggestion would be to include guidance to configure the tenant to use /sites/, and for future releases to update the script to determine what managed path should be used.

Observed Behavior

Script fails on line 139 if group is created under the managed path /teams/

Steps to Reproduce

Go to the SPO admin center, select 'settings' and navigate to the Create Groups under setting to change the managed path to /teams/

Expected or Desired Behavior

The desired behaviour would be a one-click-no-sorrow-solution for everyone :-)

As Modern Sites are inheriting the default language from the root site collection when they are created, the default document library in a german tenant for example has a path called "Freigegebene Dokumente" instead.
In the file portal.xml several Urls are hardcoded to "Shared Documents" (e.g. Upload of .pptx File).

Observed Behavior

When the pptx should be uploaded, the "Shared Documents" Library can't be found. This leads to this exception message:
"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."

Also because of this, the webpart that shows the pptx in the portals home page will be broken.

Steps to Reproduce

Try with a tenant with another Default language, e.g. German.

My personal Quick-Fix Solution

Search and replace "Shared Documents" with e.g. "Feigegebene Dokumente" (or the name of the default doclib in your language).

My personal "Aha-Moments"

Although this might not be the right scope, I want to quickly share some hints, that took me a little time to figure out. Might save some time to someone, I hope this is ok for the community:

1. Make sure you have this "First Release to Everybody" Setting in your tenant (see issue #6 )
2. On my machine all files were automatically blocked (Win 10). With the PowerShell Command
   Get-ChildItem [your path to folder]\sp-starter-kit-master -recurse | Unblock-File
   you can unblock all files at once
3. When you deploy the app-package manually, there is no need for building it with the code. To skip this step, you can either change the deploy.ps1 or simply create a folder "solution" in the existing folder "/solution/sharepoint" and paste the "sharepoint-portal-Showcase.sppkg" from the folder "package" into it

After this, everything worked perfectly fine for me with the latest version. Thanks, guys!

It took me ages to realise that my tenant was set to create new groups under the /teams/.. URL which was causing the deploy script to fail with a lot of errors because it assumes a path of /sites/...

I have been able to get it to partially deploy. However the theme doesn't get applied. I am not sure if this is because of the previous failures.

I love what you are doing with this initiative, it looks really useful.

I also noticed that the Edit button for My Links doesn't seem to work on my iPad in Chrome.

Thanks

Jeremy

Expected or Desired Behavior

Tiles, Personal and other PnP should display information and render properly

Observed Behavior

All custom web parts display a variation of the same error message (I've hidden my domain name). The message below is from the pnpTiles web part:

[SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]:
***Failed to load component "26cb4af3-7f48-4737-b82a-4e24167c2d07" (pnpTiles).
Original error: ***Failed to load URL 'https://publiccdn.sharepointonline.com/#######.sharepoint.com/sites/AppCatalog/ClientSideAssets/3624777a-337d-4b34-8384-5ab774c069aa/solution-controlstrings_en-us_9fdf3a263d9b4c41bea5ddcb4928cf9d.js' for resource 'ControlStrings' in component '26cb4af3-7f48-4737-b82a-4e24167c2d07' (pnpTiles). There was a problem in the server.

I also notice that I can't Approve any of the APIs in the SharePoint Admin Center. I receive the [HTTP]400 error and the message "A service principal with the name xxxxxx could not be found"

Steps to Reproduce

I followed the steps from the front page of the sp-starter-kit GitHub Page.

I have also

• Ensured the account I am using is a Global Admin
• It is a Term Store Administrator
• I have tried uploading the solution from the package directory. I also tried rebuilding the solution and uploading the new package into the App Catalog

The customize footer is not visible as demonstrated in SharePoint starter kit video

• Bug

Expected or Desired Behavior

When using the Site Information webpart, the Site Organization term picker should bring up default terms to pick.

Observed Behavior

The default term set and group hard coded into webpart properties is not created by default, thus when attempting to set the Site Organization, no terms are provided.

Steps to Reproduce

Add the Site Information webpart and attempt to set the Site Organization. Assuming you did not manually add the default term set and group, no terms are displayed.

Recommended solution

in provisioning/solution.xml, add a default group: Company, a default Term Set: Organization, along with a few default organization terms.

Expected or Desired Behavior

I'm trying to deploy sp-starter-kit to my tenant and up until https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-starter-kit/blob/00a5081e854f2ebc40ccd0687d60dfdb143b9c43/provisioning/deploy.ps1#L133 everything seems to be running perfectly well now. However Get-PnPNavigationNode returns null/no value and after that several commands fail because of that.

Observed Behavior

I'm not sure if it's the hub site top navigation bar which is loaded there or if it's something different. It appears maybe this only fails to create hub site navigation, but it's still not working for me.

Steps to Reproduce

I simply ran

.\deploy.ps1 -TenantUrl https://m365x445956.sharepoint.com -SitePrefix "NeverUsedBefore11"

I have an o365 developer site.
I am the tenant/global admin.
I set targeted release for everyone.
I am admin of Taxonomy/Term Store.
I have newest PnP PowerShell:

Name Version

SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline 2.27.1806.1
SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline 2.27.1806.1
SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline 2.27.1806.0

1. Download starter kit, extract.
2. Create PnP-CollabFooter-MyLinks property
3. Get StockInfo API key
4. Upload sharepoint-starter-kit.sppkg from package directory to my App Catalog
5. Deploy sharepoint-starter-kit.sppkg by sharing to myself
6. I run ISE as admin & issue Connect via PnP -url https://myspdevelopersite.sharepoint.com
7. then issue: Set-Location C:\Users\aspnetdev\somedir\spdir\starterkit\provisioning
8. Then I run: PS C:\Users\aspnetdev\somedir\spdir\starterkit\provisioning> .\deploy.ps1 -TenantUrl https://myspdevelopersite.sharepoint.com -siteprefix demo

The following output occurs:

Reading Site Hierarchy from ./hierarchy.json
Creating https://myspdevelopersite.sharepoint.com/sites/demoportal
New-PnPSite :
{"d":{"Create":{"__metadata":{"type":"SP.Publishing.CommunicationSiteCreationResponse"},"SiteStatus":3,"SiteUrl":""}}}

•         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : WriteError: (:) [New-PnPSite], Exception
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : EXCEPTION,SharePointPnP.PowerShell.Commands.NewSite

9. I stop script.

This happened several times. I found potential solution online, and have run these statements (prior to the .deploy ps1 script):

//permanently delete all deleted sites
Connect-SPOService -Url “https://myspdevelopersite-admin.sharepoint.com”
Get-SPODeletedSite | foreach { Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity $_.Url }

//Remove hubsite associations
Get-SPOHubSite | ? {$_.Title -eq “PnP SP Starter Kit”} | Unregister-SPOHubSite

I have also tried changing prefix of 'demo' to something else.

Each time, same error. Previously I still let the entire script run in the SPO Mgmt Shell. Same thing. I have targeted different sites (team collections new experience). Same thing.

Am I doing it wrong?

Can I manually provision the first part, then run the rest of the script?

Approve API Management Requests

Observed Behavior

After execution of the deploy script, I later noticed I had several entries in the API Management page.
Was the script supposed to handle the Approval of these requests or is this a step that needs to be identified in the Read Me?

After noticing the entries, I tried to Approve them but they would error.

Steps to Reproduce

Review API Management after execution of the deploy script.

Expected or Desired Behavior

I would expect that the PnP Tiles web-part would render in three columns in Safari just like it does in Edge, Chrome, etc. Perhaps this is a display: flex issue?

Observed Behavior

When using the Safari web-browser, the Tiles web-part is wrapping one tile to its own line instead of a consistent three-column layout.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy and configure sp-starter-kit
2. View the Tiles web-part in Safari

Expected or Desired Behavior

Deploy.ps1 should build the SPFx solution and generate a new package file (sppkg)

The script fails to build and generate a new package file

Steps to Reproduce

Ensure there is no sppkg file on folder ..\solution\sharepoint\solution
Run deploy.ps1 script

I will submit a PR very soon with a fix

There is an issue in pnp tiles webpart is that instead of list url the office fabric ui is configured not the url of pnp tiles list .
