`JsonDynamicValue' does not contain a definition for 'ToObject'

[MikeAlhayek]

Now sure how to reproduce this issue. Adding it here for now.

scanning my logs after deploying 2.0 I see the following errors

OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.Implementation.DefaultHtmlDisplay|ERROR|Func`2 thrown from System.Func`2[[OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.Implementation.ShapeDisplayContext, OrchardCore.DisplayManagement, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null],[System.Threading.Tasks.Task, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e]] by RuntimeBinderException Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException: 'System.Text.Json.Dynamic.JsonDynamicValue' does not contain a definition for 'ToObject'

Are you sure all the DLLs of OC got updated during deployment?

[MikeAlhayek]

I deploy using docker containers. So all dlls are pulled directly from nuget.

I think this must be in one of your *.cshtml templates, which may use a dynamic value. I don't find any ToObject from a JsonDynamicValue in Orchards cshtml files.

This basically comes down to the same discussion we had in #15816 (comment): Should we add functionality back that Newtonsoft had, even if it is not used by our own code?

@gvkries I have to try to find where it's being used. I don't think this is something I have in my code. But, I'll try to see if I can find where it being called

@MikeAlhayek I used a file search for ToObject once more and didn't found this case. But in the documentation, I found this:

OrchardCore/src/docs/reference/modules/Media/README.md

Line 456 in 7196b5b

var anchors = (Anchor[])Model.ContentItem.Content.Blog.Image.Anchors.ToObject<Anchor[]>();

I guess using that will fail as well.

Yeah, I don't think we should add back shims for easier migration from Json.NET unless we'd use them otherwise as well.

I don’t think this issue in OC. Closing it
