SXA 1.6 Creative Exchange Import error after upgrade

Question

I recently upgraded from 8.2u4 to 8.2u6 and SXA 1.4 to SXA 1.6 and ran into some issues found here. SXA 1.6 Creative Exchange Import Export options grayed out. After resolving this issue, I thought all was good. Until I needed to import and received the following error.

"No locator provider is configured at Sitecore.XA.Foundation.IoC.ServiceLocator.get_Current()..."

Screenshot is attached for the reference.

The issue has been resolved but I thought I would post the answer in case someone else runs into the issue.

Answer 1

There is a patch that is under \App_Config\Include\zzz\Sitecore.Support.9318.config that is causing the issue. Once the patch is removed the Import works correctly. There is also an assembly file in the bin folder that needs to be removed.

<assembly name="Sitecore.Support.9318.dll">
    <fileVersion>1.4.0.0</fileVersion>
    <productVersion>1.4.0.0-8.2.4</productVersion>
    <lastWriteTime>11/07/2017 09:23:00</lastWriteTime>
    <md5>67FC4466CE890D60344842D437698089</md5>
  </assembly>

Apparently, the patch has been incorporated into 1.6 and is no longer needed.

I hope this helps.
