ABTesting / KPI error in CMS 12 - Method Not Allowed (405)
It has indeed been open-sourced and community-supported.
Do you have a custom CORS configuration on your site? Cause often when a POST request to a POST-only endpoint returns 405, CORS turns out to be the issue.

We do not have a custom CORS configuration. This issue was fixed with package upgrade: "EPiServer.Marketing.Testing" version 3.1.1 to version 3.1.2.

Greetings,
I installed the package "EPiServer.Marketing.Testing" version 3.1.1 on an Optimizely 12 site (.net 6, cms version 12.18.x), and I am having issues running an AB test.
I verified the dependencies were included. I went to a page on the site, made a change, and selected "A/B Test Changes" from the Publish Changes dropdown in the CMS.
I added one conversion goal, a default goal called "Time on page", and set this to 10 seconds with a test goal note. When clicking "Start test", the conversion goal's "Add a goal" dropdown displays an error: Method Not Allowed. This error appears regardless of if I made a conversion goal or not (this is happening locally, and on our dev enviroment).
I opened the developer console, and I can see the XHR POST error (error 405). Looking into the error messages, an object is displayed saying: message: "Unable to load /EPiServer/EPiServer.Marketing.Testing/Stores/KpiStore/KpiFormData status: 405":

In my startup.cs file, I made sure to add the AB testing package:
services.AddABTesting(_configuration.GetConnectionString("EPiServerDB"));Has anyone else ran into this issue when trying to add this package to an Optimizely 12 site?
I have reached out to support regarding this issue, and found that this package is no longer supported, and is open source.
