No consequential item changes - Sitecore with Unicorn
While doing some Sitecore items clean up activity we have faced one Unicorn issue while moving some of Sitecore items from one folder to another Sitecore parent node.
We observed that Unicorn is not able to move those items from source to destination. We quickly looked at the Logs and the below are the respective logs
INFO AUDIT (sitecore\admin): Move item: master:/sitecore/content/ABC/Home/Data/Videos/FirstVideo, language: en, version: 2, id: {75A227AA-5FF2-4BE6-BFD2-F52AFE47FBAC} to sitecore://master/{BAE484E4-DADC-4E42-8F20-A584FD158EDE}?lang=en&ver=1
INFO [Unicorn]: Serialization File System Data Store: Moved serialized item
/sitecore/content/ABC/Home/Data/Videos/FirstVideo (75a227aa-5ff2-4be6-bfd2-f52afe47fbac)
to /sitecore/content/ABC/Home/Data/Videos
INFO [Unicorn]: Serialization File System Data Store: Ignored save of
/sitecore/content/ABC/Home/Data/Videos/FirstVideo
because it contained no consequential item changes.
Sitecore item structure
Unicorn is recognizing both Source path and destination path is same and hence items are not moving. This is because of same path and same item name.
Quick fix : Just change the name of Source item or destination item name.
Try again and you can observe that items will be moved without any issues.
Lesson learnt # Source item path and destination items path should not be same even if they are created based on different templates.
