I am getting an error while publishing a Page in SDL Web 8.5.

Error :enter image description here

When the Page is previewed, it works fine.

The event viewer log :

    JScriptException: Expression 'RenderComponentPresentation()' had error 'String cannot be of zero length.
    Parameter name: oldValue'
    String cannot be of zero length.
    Parameter name: oldValue

Note: I have migrated the contents from Tridion 2011 to web 8.5. In 2011 the publshing works fine.

Please help.

  • Have you tried to "debug" the Template in the Template Builder, is it failing on a DWT Template Building Block, if so can you perhaps edit your question and update it with the source of that DWT TBB? – Bart Koopman Jul 5 '17 at 13:58
  • Yes. I tried that one also . It is working fine in Template Builder. – Manas.p Jul 5 '17 at 14:11

    You can try debugging the publisher service: attach your Visual Studio debugger to TcmPublisher.exe and let it break on any exception. Then check the call stack to find the value for the expression/statement parameter. – Rick Pannekoek Jul 5 '17 at 19:02
  • Thanks Rick. It was the TBB that was expecting a Publication Target name as Staging and Live where as I have created a new one as "Staging New". That's where the rendering was getting failed. Now it works fine with the old ones. – Manas.p Jul 10 '17 at 9:14
