Search engine does not find a method

I continuously getting this error in the log more frequently. But why search engine bot tries to access 'ProductDetails_AttributeChange' method? What will be solution of this problem? I assure this method is working fine.

Details log entry of this error:

Can anyone please explain this problem and possible resolution? Thank you.

Hello,

You have write "ProductDetails_AttributeChange" this method in ShoppingCartController ?.

You need to check it.

Search engines should not request this URL because we have it specified in the robots.txt file - "RobotsTextFile" method of the CommonController

3-4 days ago I was continuously getting this error. But for last few days this error does not happen. I will inform you if googlebot again will raise this error. (FYI, my website very new. only one month passed after it is live).
Thank you.

Im still getting this error to.
And this URL is in my robots.txt

The robots URLs are case sensitive, that is the reason!

Just make the line bellow lowercase:

_ProductAttributes.cshtml

url: '@Url.Action("productdetails_attributechange", "shoppingcart", new {productId = productId})',

Solved!

Hello Gentelmen,

I'm facing the same issue in the log file, and I'm trying to resolve this issue, (even though its not a serious one)

I tried to find this line as mentioned, url: '@Url.Action("productdetails_attributechange", "shoppingcart", new {productId = productId})',

I don't seem to find it or find  _ProductAttributes.cshtml


any suggestions.


Thank you

P.S I'm running v3.40

Nevermind, I found it, and for those who can't find it, it's under /views/product/


Thank you for the great work.

any update on this?

Getting the same exceptions in log, almost immediately after v3.60 site went live
log says customer is built in search engine record
but find it hard to believe that search engine crawls site instantly after go live?

has this been raised as an issue of maybe fixed in v3.70?

thanks

The WHOIS for the IP address of the search engine record request is google, so they are legitimate.

for anyone who needs a solution - we use our Redirect Plugin to reply with a blank "204 No Content"
response for GET requests to ShoppingCart/ProductDetails_AttributeChange - the plugin makes it work with any query at the end such as "shoppingcart/productdetails_attributechange?productid=3&validateattributeconditions=false " and it does not stop adding items to the cart as it is a POST from the browser to add items to the cart, redirecting the GET request does not interfere.
