[X] Bug ?

Version

Please specify what version of the library you are using: ["@pnp/spfx-controls-react": "^3.18.1" ]

Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

My 365 group "DPC Department" is a valid group so I should use:

	<PeoplePicker 
		    context={context as any} 
		    personSelectionLimit={1}
		    groupName={"DPC Department"} 
		    showtooltip={true}                
		    onChange={getPeoplePickerItems} 
		    principalTypes={[PrincipalType.User]}
		    resolveDelay={2000} 
	/>

Observed Behavior

the control is disabled and shows "Group could not be found." I also tried the Guid of the group and the SharePoint group. got same results

Steps to Reproduce

Use code like above.

not sure if related, but Typescript did not like peoplePickerContext for PeoplePicker context so I used context={context as any} //from props

Thanks!

Seems like a compatibility issue: I described it here.

Hi @Ofer-Gal,

Do you still have compatibility issues? I tried with latest version (3.20.0) and a SPFx solution (1.20.0) without trouble.

All is good, Thanks

I am getting the same error message now with SharePoint version "1.21.1" and "@pnp/spfx-controls-react": "^3.22.0"

import { PeoplePicker, PrincipalType } from "@pnp/spfx-controls-react/lib/PeoplePicker";

<PeoplePicker context={props.context as any} titleText="" defaultSelectedUsers={ props.DATA.PDBClerk ? [props.DATA.PDBClerk.DisplayName] : []} personSelectionLimit={1} groupName={GroupNames.Sachbearbeiter} showtooltip={true} styles={ppStyle} disabled={!props.DATA.IsClerk} onChange={_clerkChanged} principalTypes={[PrincipalType.User]} resolveDelay={1000} />

Previously it was working with 1.19.0 and 3.8.1 After I upgraded my project to 1.21.1 and 3.22.0, we are getting this issue now and must revert back as this is in production and people cannot work!

Could you deliver a hotfix?

From https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pnp/spfx-controls-react/v/3.22.0?activeTab=code and your package.json this version supports node 22.14.0 < 23.0.0:

"name": "@pnp/spfx-controls-react", "description": "Reusable React controls for SharePoint Framework solutions", "version": "3.22.0", "engines": { "node": ">=22.14.0 < 23.0.0" }

if we install that version (having node 22.18.0), we see this: "node_modules/@pnp/spfx-controls-react": { "version": "3.22.0", "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@pnp/spfx-controls-react/-/spfx-controls-react-3.22.0.tgz",

and find this dependency: "@microsoft/mgt-spfx": "3.1.3" which supports only node <19.0.0:

"node_modules/@microsoft/mgt-spfx": { "version": "3.1.3", "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@microsoft/mgt-spfx/-/mgt-spfx-3.1.3.tgz", "integrity": "sha512-3lg2sBiN38+yn4J/+3FHEO0qYs5Rzu/5eswyHGgo6BMyLbO4ILr9E6+ULs8FhIoAw0qGV6+GxicCkyFlAVhhJA==", "license": "MIT", "dependencies": { "@microsoft/mgt-components": "3.1.3", "@microsoft/mgt-element": "3.1.3", "@microsoft/mgt-sharepoint-provider": "3.1.3", "tslib": "2.3.1" }, "engines": { "node": ">=16.13.0 <17.0.0 || >=18.17.1 <19.0.0" } }

If I want to use an earlier version of @pnp/spfx-controls-react, it does not support node higher that 19.0.0

Since the beginning of computing we run into the dll-Hell, now we also live in the Dependency-Hell. Anybody able to fix this?

I have downgraded my project to sp 1.19.0 with node 18.19.0 and @pnp/spfx-controls-react": "^3.18.1" I get: Group cannot be found.

When i debug your code, i can see that this.context.AbsolutUrl is undefind, hence the error:

in method searchTenant.

this then is a call with a wrong constructed url:

which at least raises the error here:

So, it seems that the root cause is that this.context.AbsolutUrl is undefined

Dear @michaelmaillot : Could you please have a look into it?

Version 3.19.0 has a valid context but we are not using the PeoplePicker anymore to support the selection of users from a specific group, we are using a dropdown now as we could not wait for a fix regarding groupName.
