Sitecore null value exception

Question

I had a Sitecore installation running until I made a deploy with some code changes. After that it completely broke.

Prior to this I create a new template item with a field of type "multilist with search". I didn't generate synthesis code before deploying.

Following is the exception from the IIS.

This exception is thrown on all pages. This also means that I can't access the content editor. I can't use Sitecore rocks either.

does anybody have any idea on what to do?

Answer 1

For right now, rename /App_Config/Include/.../Synthesis.config to Synthesis.config.disabled . That should allow you to bring the site back to a state where you can communicate with it.

Be aware that the Multilist with Search field relies on Sitecore ContentSearch - and it appears to be incorrectly configured in your solution.
