Hi there, I try to assign a new ListURL in SharePoint Event Receiver for a Document Library and install it by vs .net as shown below: But the error message " Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Sample.EventHandler_101" comes up. After that I went to "Manage site features", the message "The list " wwa/Shared%20Documents" doesn't exist. Please fix the ListUrl attribute. ". Actually the URL is correct, does anyone have any ideas on it. thanks. ** wwa/Shared%20Documents: the document library is under a subsite called <wwa>. the document library is default library and URL **

Hi @SHUO .H , Try to change ListUrl to Shared%20Documents: ListUrl= "Shared%20Documents" . Check if it works for you. If an Answer is helpful, please click " Accept Answer " and upvote it.

Hi @MichaelHan-MSFT ,

Is it possible to use the following format: ListUtrl="Subsite/Shared%20Documents" or this configuration is just only for Top-Level site??

Thanks

@SHUO .H , thus you need to deploy your feature to Web Scope and enable the feature on your subsite.

@MichaelHan-MSFT thus you need to deploy your feature to Web Scope and enable the feature on your subsite.

Web Scope: yes. current settings is WEB SCOPE
Enable the feature. : when I deploy the feature by vs .net then I got the above error. so if that mean if we just enable it by manual.

@SHUO .H ,
The list url should be relative to the web not the site. You shouldn't use the format: ListUtrl="Subsite/Shared%20Documents". Just ListUrl= "Shared%20Documents", then enable the feature only on your subsite.

@MichaelHan-MSFT ,

so If my site collection is http://xxxxxxx:29847 and have a web http://xxxxxxx:29847/wwr.
there is a Document Library called :: Resources and URL is ResDoc

so my ListURL will be: wwr/Resdoc or Resdoc??

Thanks

@SHUO .H ,
It would be Resdoc.

If I use the "Resdoc" - cannot find the document library
If I use the "wwr/Resdoc" - Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features'

@SHUO .H ,
This becasue when deploy the solution, it would try to activate the feature in the root web(Top-Level site) by default. Since the "Resdoc" library is not in the root web. It would get error when activating the feature. Just ignore it. The solution should be deployed successfully.

If you go to your subsite, you should see the feature in the sites feature. And you could activate it successfully.

Put simply, the default mechanism is to deploy to Root web instead of webs/ sub sites, as for webs/ sub sites, the feature still can be deployed, but we will get the same message.

@SHUO .H ,

You could trun off the Activate On Default for the feature when deloying. Thus you would not get the error any more.

@MichaelHan-MSFT : I follow your instruction, and I got the same message.
even I use the
"wwr/Resdoc" ->Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features'

or

"Resdoc" -> Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': The list "Resources" doesn't exist. Please fix the ListUrl attribute.

@SHUO .H ,
My fault. The ActivateOnDefault attribute does not apply to site collection (Site) or Web site (Web) scoped Features: https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/42113/feature-not-activated-by-default

And you should use "Resdoc", just ignore the error. The feature is deployed successfully.
