I'm using Linux, so I don't have access to ABP Studio yet.
I've upgraded my modules to ABP 9.2.0, and now I'm encountering the following error. I noticed that ABP 9.2.0 upgrades the MongoDB driver to v3.x, which changes the default GUID serialization behavior.
I already followed the official MongoDB documentation on GUID serialization: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/csharp/current/fundamentals/serialization/guid-serialization/#std-label-csharp-guids
However, that didn’t resolve the issue.
Has anyone else run into this? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

To resolve the GUID serialization issue after upgrading to ABP 9.2.0 (which uses MongoDB.Driver v3.x), you need to address the change in default GUID representation. The new driver expects GUIDs to be stored with the
UuidStandard
subtype, but your existing data usesUuidLegacy
.Here’s how to handle this:
Set the Global GuidRepresentation
At the very start of your application (before any MongoDB operations), set the default GUID representation toV3
:MongoDB.Bson.BsonDefaults.GuidRepresentationMode = MongoDB.Bson.GuidRepresentationMode.V3;
Migrate Existing Data (if needed)
- The error occurs because existing documents use the legacy GUID format. You have two options:
- Migrate your existing data to use
UuidStandard
(recommended for long-term compatibility). - Or, configure your application to read legacy GUIDs, but this is not recommended for new projects.
- Migrate your existing data to use
See the official MongoDB migration guide for details:
https://abp.io/docs/9.2/release-info/migration-guides/MongoDB-Driver-2-to-3- The error occurs because existing documents use the legacy GUID format. You have two options:
Update Serialization Settings (if you have custom settings)
If you have custom serialization logic, ensure you use the newGuidRepresentationMode.V3
and do not set the obsoleteGuidRepresentation
property.Restart Your Application
After making these changes, restart your application to ensure the new settings take effect.

No it doesn't help. I tried to run some small script as follows but still i getting the same error. I dropped my collections in local mongodb then it worked. How can i fix this to my production now?
public static class MongoDBGUIDMigrations { public static async Task Migrate() { BsonSerializer.RegisterSerializer(new GuidSerializer(GuidRepresentation.Standard)); var connectionString = "mongodb://localhost:27017"; // Replace as needed var dbName = "your-database-name"; // Replace with your DB name var settings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(connectionString); var client = new MongoClient(settings); var database = client.GetDatabase(dbName); // STEP 3: Get all collection names var collections = await database.ListCollectionNamesAsync(); var collectionNames = await collections.ToListAsync(); Console.WriteLine($"Found {collectionNames.Count} collections."); foreach (var collectionName in collectionNames) { Console.WriteLine($"\n🔄 Processing collection: {collectionName}"); // Use BsonDocument to handle dynamic schemas var collection = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>(collectionName); var documents = await collection.Find(FilterDefinition<BsonDocument>.Empty).ToListAsync(); int updatedCount = 0; foreach (var doc in documents) { var id = doc.GetValue("_id", null); if (id == null) { Console.WriteLine("Skipping document without _id"); continue; } // Replacing with same document will reserialize with Standard Guid format var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("_id", id); await collection.ReplaceOneAsync(filter, doc); updatedCount++; } Console.WriteLine($"✅ Updated {updatedCount} documents in collection: {collectionName}"); } Console.WriteLine("Migration complete. All documents now use UuidStandard format for Guids."); } }

Hi, to fix this problem, you should say to the driver to use the old format. There is a really good community article that exactly explains how to do that, which you can check at https://abp.io/community/articles/solving-mongodb-guid-issues-after-an-abp-framework-upgrade-tv8waw1n.
Can you check the article and apply the suggested solution? It should fix your problem.
