java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Basename must not be empty - jasperserver

I am migrating a lot of reports from an old application to JasperServer. It usually goes well, except for a couple of times where I get an error. It gives me:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Basename must not be empty
I was able to solve it in some reports by just playing around with stuff in the report itself or by redoing the resource bundles. However, this doesn't seem to work for some reports. Does anyone know what is the definite cause of this error and what I should do to remove it?
Thanks,

Guidance for diagnosing {"message":"An error has occurred."}

Can someone point me in the direction of instructions for working out what has gone wrong with my Mobile Service App. It was working fine with a couple of simple tables. I then extended the data model using code first and migrations and now all I get when enter a url such as:
http://xxxxxxxx.azurewebsites.net/tables/firm?ZUMO-API-VERSION=2.0.0
is
{"message":"An error has occurred."}
I have now removed all new tables/data objects and controllers so that only one exists for a single table called "Firm" which has a single string property. I have switch OFF authentication/authorization in the Azure portal but I still get the same error.
I have tried both CustomErrors=Off and CustomErrors=RemoteOnly in the debug web config. I am publishing a debug build.
I have tried switching on logging and remote debugging etc in Azure but am unable to work out what is broken. I have tried remote debugging with a break point in my FirmController GetAllFirms method but error occurs before that point.
How do I get more useful information about what the problem is?
I have managed to solve this one myself. In fact now that I know what it is the answer was staring at me from the build output.
The issue was that when extending my model I referenced a .NET Standard 2.0 class library containing some enum definitions that are common to both the backend and the client.
I did not notice the warning that some assembly versions needed binding redirects added to web config. Double click on the warning message and VS2017 will add the necessary entries to web.config for you.
For more details see here on github.
I never did manage to get behind the {"message":"An error has occurred."} though. I solved this by rebuilding my backend project one step at a time and it was after adding the reference to the .NET standard project than I noticed the "Consider app.config remapping of assembly ..." messages in the build output window.

Accidentally published CompositeC1 with precompile on

I accidentally published Composite C1 from Visual Studio with "Precompile during publishing" when I first set it up and have now come to realize that several plugins do not work with precompile turned on. Unfortunately I have no idea how to reverse this. I've tried several things to no avail. I usually end up with a 500.0 error. If I go to the admin interface everything is working properly, and I can even preview the pages, but from the customer side all I get is a 500.0 error.
Of course I could republish from the Visual Studio project I have, but that project has the default template on it. I've tried copying what appears to be changed on the server to the original project but I end up with a 500 error. I've tried removing all the precompiled stuff on the server but I end up with a 500 error. I'm pretty lost.
At this point I'm willing to do anything. Is there a doc explaining how to copy the content to a newly downloaded copy, kind of like an upgrade doc but "side-grading"? I am using the most current version at the time of writing this 4.2 Update 1
Thank you
Solved use the PackageCreator suggested by wysocki's answer. It was not exactly straight forward to create the package. The errors can very cryptic at times. So here are some of the issues I encountered and how I got past them:
wysocki was correct to suggesting starting with a bare bones installation even though my original project was started with the Venus theme. I tried both ways.
I encountered issues with the MasterLayout and the Page Template Features which are currently not supported by the PackageCreator, although they may be supported in future versions. The solution was to add the missing elements to the fresh C1 project from the original C1 installation in the App_Data/PageTemplates and App_Data/PageTemplateFeatures folders.
A few times I ran into an issue where I added the same page or function twice to the PackageCreator. This was obviously my fault, but it should be mentioned that you can add the same site element twice which throws and error on import. Make sure you are careful to only getting one of each when creating the package to be exported.
If you are getting and error and it uses and Id like "4061397b-ee9e-4512-984d-f2b2d41eb654" I've found that it was very helpful to extract the zip file you are trying to import and then search the extracted folders for that Id. The lines with the Id usually have more information on them that will help you to identify exactly what content page or whatever the error is being generated from.
If you are using installed packages in your project like SimpleSearch for example, make sure you don't add it's functions to the PackageCreator. Install them separately.
I had an issue where I somehow had an element in the Data section that didn't have a "type". The error simply "The type cannot be empty". This was obviously tough to find so I suppose the lesson is, less is more. If you think your project might have a few elements that are unnecessary, don't add them at first and see if the project you import them into complains about missing them. It's much easier to troubleshoot missing elements than it is to figure out which element is causing the issue that you really didn't need.
Is there a doc explaining how to copy the content to a newly downloaded copy
You can try and export content / templates / anything else related to a "package" via Composite.Tools.PackageCreator.
Its latest version gives you quite a lot of flexibility in what you can export ("package") - please its user manual.
Once the package is made and downloaded, you can go on and install it on a new website. If you export / import a lot of content / templates etc, it makes sense to have a "Bare Bones" site as the new one.
All the starter sites like "Neptune", "Venus" are installed as a bunch of packages in specific order during Composite C1's initial setup.

Flash Builder intellisense - Unable to detect members of class randomly

Suddenly flash builder stops identifying data members of a class. When I type obj. the intellisense window does not show any data members or methods. Yesterday I got problem with 4.6 and now with 4.0. Yesterday I imported the source files into new project to resolve this problem. I thought it is something to do with the newer version but I got this in 4.0 as well. This is really a huge problem.
I did all tries like
Reopening project
Restarting FB
Triple checking the import packages/classes
Syntax error
It is similar problem with many of people got here and I am sure it is not a problem of importing packages/classes or any syntax because It happens all the sudden randomly to random class.
Not just that but when I ctl+click on the variable (which should tame cursor to the variable declaration) IDE throws an error message "Code Navigation error: Source could not be found"
I am not pasting any code here because, as I said earlier I am sure its not related to any syntax, importing issue (in short not a coding isssue), but just some sort of FBs memeory/stack or something else.
Please let me know if any one has faced this problem and found the solution other than copying the source into a new project

Exclude ReSharper error for "Resource not found" inside Views

I have an MVC2 application and use ReSharper 6.1 - I've heavily customised the Code Inspection Severity and edited what it decides to show as errors, warnings, suggestions and hints, but I cannot seem to stop it from telling me that a specific resource is missing when utilising a HTMLHelper.
So, for instance:
<img src="<%:Url.Content("~/Resources/Image12345.jpg")%>" />
I get an error on every line similar to the above telling me that the path above does not exist - which at design time it does not, but during the build process all of these views are XCOPY'd to a location which contains all of the resources, such as the images, so at the point of running the application all of this path resolution is correct. Because of working in a team of people, some of which are new to ReSharper, I wanted to exclude this error from appearing as it may cause colleagues of mine to start fiddling with something that isn't broken.
ReSharper obviously doesn't know that this isn't an issue and it has no way of knowing which is why I want to turn off this specific bit of analysis. I've found on the whole that ReSharper is massively customizable and in version 6.1 under Inspection Severity there are some new MVC options, which have proved useful - but I can see no way of turning off the inspection for this.
Anybody have any ideas?
There are few options, press ALT+ENTER.
Suppress inspection "Path Error" with comment. You can suppress whole block of code, not only each of tag.
Suppress inspection "Path Error" at all at whole project.
There is new feature of 6.1 - path mapping, but it seems broken in conjunction with MVC.
Set to ignore that specific error by:
Open Soultion Errors Window by ReSharper->Windows->Soultion Errors Window.
Right-click annoying error and select Ignore Error.
See answer for another error for more explanation.
Well - It seems that this particular type of inspection is not currently catered for. I'll see if I can request it with JetBrains and hopefully more granular MVC inspection will be included in the future.
Cheers guys

Crystal Report corruption

Unsure if anyone on here could lend a hand, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Google wasn't too useful.
I have a report that I was working on all yesterday in Crystal Reports XI. I thought it was all good and working, so I closed the file (big mistake). Now, I try and open it again, and it's not letting me.
I get the following errors:
"An Ole object in this report could
not not be loaded. It has been
replaced with a blank object"
So then crystal tries to load my report with it's changes (I think), and then I get:
" This document could not
be opened. It does not appear to be a
Crystal Report document. This document
has the expected file extension
(.RPT), but it seems to be corrupted.
If this report used to work, try
opening it with a different version of
Crystal reports and if that still does
not work, please contact your
administrator".
I don't have another version of Crystal to check it with, and I'm pretty much the local admin for crystal, and I have no idea what to do.
Crystal wasn't letting me save over previous versions of this report yesterday, and now none of the 6+ versions I have are loading.
Can anyone suggest anything to help?
I got around this error by recreating the entire report.
I have no idea what the issue was, but after I spend 2 hours recreating it, it now works as intended.
I'm guessing that if anyone else receives the terminal Corruption error, they should just throw it away and start again.
You can try opening it in Visual Studio, which may or may not have the same version of Crystal. But it's a binary file, and if that gets munched, I'm not sure you have much recourse.
