I have just installed the vanilla Sitecore 9.1.1 and SXA 1.8 on the local machine.

  1. Created the demo website.
  2. Upon adding any component in experience editor it throws below error.

Error:

9188 09:38:41 ERROR Application error.
Exception: System.Web.HttpUnhandledException

    Can you include a screenshot of your content tree - in particular the data folder under the site.

It turned out that \App_Config\Modules\SXA\Feature\Sitecore.XA.Feature.Composites.config was disabled, due to which services specified in the file were not registered and resulted in the null exception.
