Err :“the given key was not present in the dictionary ” SPO

Swetha

Hi,

I am unable to create a publishing page in any of the subsites,gettingerror:"the given key was not present in the dictionary". but able to create in site collection level.

Below is my Code:

$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($ParentSiteurl)

$ctx.Credentials = $credentials

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

$subsiteCtx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($subsiteUrl)

$subsiteCtx.Credentials = $credentials

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

$pageLayoutList = $ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Master Page Gallery")

$ctx.Load($pageLayoutList)

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

$pageLayoutQuery = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery

$pageLayoutQuery.ViewXml = "OneSmallOneLargeOneSmallColumnLayout.aspx"

$pageLayouts = $pageLayoutList.GetItems($pageLayoutQuery)

$ctx.Load($pageLayouts)

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

$pageLayout = $pageLayouts[0]

#Get the publishing Web

$pubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($subsiteCtx, $subsiteCtx.Web)

$subsiteCtx.Load($pubWeb)

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

$pageInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.PublishingPageInformation

$pageInfo.Name = $pageName

$pageInfo.PageLayoutListItem =$pageLayout

$page =$pubWeb.AddPublishingPage($pageInfo)

$subsiteCtx.Load($page)

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

$PagesList = $subsiteCtx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Pages")

$subsiteCtx.Load($PagesList)

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

$publishPage = $subsiteCtx.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl($PagesList.ParentWebUrl + "/Pages/" + $pageName)

$subsiteCtx.Load($publishPage)

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

$publishPage.CheckIn("Page Created", [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CheckinType]::MajorCheckIn)

$publishPage.publish("Publish")

$subsiteCtx.load($publishPage)

$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()

Please try below script
param (
    [string]$Url,
    [string]$UserName,
    [string]$Password,
    [string]$PageName,
    [string]$PageLayoutName
)

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing")




Function Add-PublishingPage([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext]$Context, [string]$PageName,[string]$PageLayoutName,[hashtable]$Properties)
{
    $pubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($Context, $Context.Web)
    $pageInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.PublishingPageInformation
    $pageInfo.Name = $PageName
    $pageInfo.PageLayoutListItem = Get-PageLayout -Context $Context -Name $PageLayoutName
    $publishingPage = $pubWeb.AddPublishingPage($pageInfo)
    $pageItem = $publishingPage.ListItem
    foreach ($p in $Properties)
    {
       $pageItem[$p.Key] = $p.Value
    }
    $pageItem.Update()
    $Context.ExecuteQuery()
}


Function Get-PageLayout([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext]$Context,[string]$Name)
{
    $list = $Context.Site.GetCatalog([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListTemplateType]::MasterPageCatalog)
    $qry = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery
    $qry.ViewXml = "$Name"
    $result = $list.GetItems($qry)
    $Context.Load($result)
    $Context.ExecuteQuery()
    if($result.Count -gt 0) {
       return $result[0]
    }
    return $null
}


$context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($Url)
$context.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($UserName, $Password)
Add-PublishingPage -Context $context  -PageName $PageName -PageLayoutName $PageLayoutName
$context.Dispose()
call the script as
./Add-PublishingPage.ps1 -Url "http://contoso.sharepoint.com/search" -UserName "[email protected]" -Password "password" -PageName "CustomResults.aspx" -PageLayoutName "searchresults.aspx"

Hi Swetha,

you write code is correct but publishing step is wrong. checkin done ofter publish. but you do both at a time..try it once below steps once.

$publishPage.CheckIn("Page Created", [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CheckinType]::MajorCheckIn)
$subsiteCtx.load($publishPage)
$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()
$publishPage.publish("Publish")
$subsiteCtx.load($publishPage)
$subsiteCtx.ExecuteQuery()
