Unicorn's version is 4.1.6.
I used the Unicorn.DataProvider.config for 10.1.

  • Can you describe when are you getting errors and is this in a standalone instance or CM?

I fixed it.

I was referring to Helix's Unicorn project. https://github.com/Sitecore/Helix.Examples/tree/master/examples/helix-basic-unicorn

It seems that the problem was the following. In Foundation.Serialization.Base.config

<dataProviderConfiguration set:enableTransparentSync="$(env:UNICORN_ENABLE_TRANSPARENT_SYNC)" />

I deleted here. Or, add 'type'. As written in Unicorn.config.

<dataProviderConfiguration set:enableTransparentSync="$(env:UNICORN_ENABLE_TRANSPARENT_SYNC)" type="Unicorn.Data.DataProvider.DefaultUnicornDataProviderConfiguration, Unicorn" />
