Add regression tests for XsltListViewWebPart provision on sub-webs

[SubPointSupport]

Both CSOM/SSOM should pass these tests, we should be able to provision XsltListViewWebPart under subsities resolving rootweb and other web correctly.

The following tests are to be implemented:

• XsltListViewWebPart provision on sub-web + list at root web
• XsltListViewWebPart provision on sub-web + list at other sub-web
• XsltListViewWebPart provision on sub-sub-web + list at other sub-web-web

Base on community feedback:

I'm having some trouble adding an XsltListViewWebPartDefinition that shows a list on a different site.

I have on my rootweb a list with the name 'Projects' (also created via SPMeta2). On a subsite of a subsite, I try to add a web part that shows this list (later I'll try to filter this). The definition of my web part is included as an attachment.

Whenever I try to provision, I get an error saying the list does not exist. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I had the issue with a list on the rootweb and a web part on a page in a subweb of a subweb. It may be interesting to note that the site collection is not the root site collection, but under /sites/somesite:

RootWeb

var projectsList = new ListDefinition
        {
            Title = "Projects",
            Description = "Projects",
            TemplateType = BuiltInListTemplateTypeId.GenericList,
            Url = "Projects",
            ContentTypesEnabled = true,
       }; 

var projectsWeb= Template = new WebDefinition
        {
            Title = "Project sites",
            Url = "projects",
            WebTemplate = "STS#0",
            UseUniquePermission = false
        };

Subweb (projects)

var projectWeb = Template = new WebDefinition
        {
            Title = "Project template site",
            Url = "projecttemplate",
            WebTemplate = "STS#0",
            UseUniquePermission = false
        };

Subweb 2 (projects/projecttemplate)

site.AddHostList(BuiltInListDefinitions.SitePages, list =>
{
    list.AddWebPartPage(new WebPartPageDefinition
    {
        FileName = "Home.aspx",
        NeedOverride = true,
        Title = "Home",
        PageLayoutTemplate = BuiltInWebPartPageTemplates.spstd2
    }, page =>
    {
        page.AddWebPart(new XsltListViewWebPartDefinition
        {
            Title = "Projects",
            ZoneId = "CenterColumn",
            Toolbar = BuiltInToolbarType.None,
            ViewName = "All Items",
            ZoneIndex = 0,
            WebId = null,            
            WebUrl = "~sitecollection/",            
            ListTitle = projectsList.Title
        });
    });
});

The following tests were added:

• CanDeploy_XsltListViewWebPart_At_RootWeb_FromRootWeb
• CanDeploy_XsltListViewWebPart_At_RootWeb_FromSubWeb
• CanDeploy_XsltListViewWebPart_At_SubWeb_FromSubWeb
• CanDeploy_XsltListViewWebPart_At_SubWeb_FromRootWeb

https://github.com/SubPointSolutions/spmeta2/blob/dev/SPMeta2/SPMeta2.Regression.Tests/Impl/Scenarios/Webparts/XsltListViewWebPartScenariosTest.cs

Confirming that SSOM does not allow to deploy XsltListViewWebPart at sub-web with list being at other web or root web, CSOM gives same errors.

Only CanDeploy_XsltListViewWebPart_At_RootWeb_FromRootWeb test is passed.

Fixing up, ETA would be about March 25th or early.
