Turning on feather caused "Unable to upgrade database s

I'm using sitefinity 8.2.5903.0. Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend runtime version is 4.0.30319. I turned on the Feather module under Administration->Modules & Services. After waiting for Sitefinity to initialize again I got these messages

Also this was added into my SystemConfig.config:

<add startupType="OnApplicationStart" version="1.4.390.0" name="Feather" />

Please help. No idea how to fix this.

For the time being, I removed 

<add startupType="OnApplicationStart" version="1.4.390.0" name="Feather" />

from SystemConfig.config.

If someone could explain to me what I need to do so I can utilize the mvc widgets and templates provided by feather I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,

The error you are receiving is most probably caused by Feather having been turned on once already (with version 1.4.410.0) and now there is an attempt to turn it on again with version 1.3.390.0.

You can check the Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend reference in the project and see what is the current version of the dlls. If it is 1.3.390.0 use the Feather nuget package to update it to 1.4.410.0.

After that remove the version attribute of the Feather entry in the SystemConfig.config and restart the project. The entry should look like so:

If the assembly version is already 1.4.410.0 build the project and remove the version attribute from the Feather entry as above. After that restart the application.

The reason to build is that Sitefinity uses the dll files that are in the bin folder and usually the Feather references come from a nuget package. In order to have the proper version of the dll files in the bin folder the project must be built.

Hi,

Have you been able to investigate whether Feather is turned on? Did removing the version attribute help resolve the issue?

Eventually, I updated the Feather nuget package then turned on the Feather module. Everything was fine.

First time I updated Feather.Core package, saw everything else update then turned on the Feather module. Doing these actions caused it to spit out these error when it sitefinity reinitialized.

Hello,

The Feather.Core nuget package is designed to be used in external assemblies to allow creating widgets in such. Upgrading it, however, does not execute the required PowerShell scripts to upgrade the Feather module in Sitefinity. This is the reason for the errors.

That answers a lot. Somewhere in your docs I read you could do either upgrade Feather or Feather.Core

Thank you!
