What is causing this Error? Could not find a model type for region Main even using a predefined region

Question

I am getting this error when my application starts

11:50:56.788 [http-nio-8080-exec-5] WARN  c.s.w.c.impl.DefaultRegionBuilder - Could not find a model type for region Main with MvcData MvcDataImpl(controllerAreaName=Framework, controllerName=Region, actionName=Region, areaName=Core, viewName=Main, regionAreaName=null, regionName=null, routeValues={}, metadata={})
11:50:56.789 [http-nio-8080-exec-5] ERROR c.s.w.c.impl.DefaultRegionBuilder - Could not find a model type for region Main even using a predefined region

So basically we believe this tag is not getting evaluated for some reason.

<div class="after-header">
    <main class="main">
        <dxa:regions exclude="Hero,Left,LeftNavigation,Header,Footer,Content-Tools" containerSize="${mainContainerSize}"/> 
        <dxa:region name="Footer"/>
    </main>

Problem is that this error comes intermittently on some developers machines and not of all machines, some developers have complained of this error especially when the project is run for the first time on newly configured tomcat server.

These are the versions we are using

<properties>
    <dxa-bom.version>1.7.0</dxa-bom.version>
    <dxa-release-branch>release/1.7</dxa-release-branch>
    <java-version>1.8</java-version>
    <spring.version>3.1.4.RELEASE</spring.version>
    <hibernate.version>3.6.7.Final</hibernate.version>
</properties>

Here is the stack trace on server start up. please see the last lines, for the above error. Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Got the answer of the problem, maven profile was the culprit .

The core-module profile needs to be activated or selected for to work.

I would suggest adding to make core modules as default profile or add the corresponding dependency "dxa-module-core" outside the profile so it is packaged always with project.

<profile>
   <id>core-module</id>
   <activation>
      <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
   </activation>
