RE: Got exception on theme build liferay 7.3.5

I haven't tried this, but IMHO themes are so dependent on little details that I'd not assume that skipping two versions results in a usable theme on the newer version. There are so many updates of underlying libraries, the HTML DOM, etc that at the very least you're starting in a weirder place than when you create a new theme in the target environment and carry over individual theme elements piece by piece - validating if they need tweaking or not. This way, the change that you'll need to introduce is manageable, and it doesn't mean a completely new theme development.

Upgrading a theme as a monolith, fixing all appearing issues in buld doesn't sound appealing to me.

Note: That's my personal approach. It might well be that there's a claim that themes are upgradable, but with all designs that have been applied to an older version, I don't assume that they can be applied unchanged to a newer version and deliver the same (or even a usable) result.

Hi,

I have one theme previously deployed on liferay 7.1.1, now I want to deploy it on liferay 7.3.5.

But at the time of build creation with 7.3.5 it shows below error, kindly help to resolve it.
