Has anyone seen this error before or know how to solve it?

I am seeing this error when I try to set a DataSource on a rendering. I have tried this both via the Experience Editor and by setting it in the Layout manager.

Reset to default

Ok this was a stupid mistake. I haven't realized that my Solr instance has stopped running. The exception is thrown because it can't connect to Solr.

Starting Solr again solved the issue.

This is due to Solr being unavailable, as noted in the other answer. However this has also been addressed as a bug for Sitecore 9.0 Update 1 and the dependency on SOLR for the Datasource Validator has been removed.

You can download the patch here - https://github.com/SitecoreSupport/Sitecore.Support.212959

Sitecore 9 Update 2 does not require this patch.
