Deleted entities included in export

[philipdanielhayton]

Hi Matt,

I'm getting a null reference error when deploying local changes to a new environment in Umbraco Cloud. I've traced it back to a Vendr Currency UDA that contains references to countries that have been soft deleted (as in, I deleted them in Umbraco but they still have rows in the DB).

To repeat this issue you need to:

1. Create a new country
2. Create a new currency
3. Add the new country as an allowed country to the new currency
4. Delete the new country
5. Re-run the export
6. Inspect the UDA file, it should contain a reference to the deleted country even though the country is no longer shown as allowed within Umbraco / Vendr.
7. If you then try to deploy that change, the target environment will throw a null reference error

Just to confirm that hard deleting the redundant currencies manually in the DB and re-running the export has fixed the issue.

Hmm, interesting.

We have event handlers registered in Vendr that when a country is deleted, it should remove itself from all currencies as an allowed country so that shouldn't be able to happen.

I'll have to take a look at why that might be occuring 👍
