Hi,

Is this happening on the first attempt to update frappe-bench or has it been updated successfully before?

What does: bench version return?

Here is versions

frappe@ba0e35314905:~/frappe-bench$ bench version
erpnext 14.34.3
frappe 14.44.0
hrms 14.10.0
india_compliance 14.15.1
payments 0.0.1
whitelabel 0.0.1
4

Try going into each of the folders in the apps/ and git pull or git status to see if one of the apps is causing the problem.

actually after I update ERPNExt using bench update --reset my site can’t be accessed.
so I’ve wiped my system, and now using docker container for epnext. and I restored my old backups.
after I successfully restore old backup, there is many error stared coming up. mostly Invalid "depends_on" expression in Address Module, Item module, etc.
and the very big problem is I can’t see the Sales Invoice form. its completly hidden, strangly if I go to print preview, then I can see what ever content there.

I see this only for ERPNext and Frappe

frappe@ba0e35314905:~/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext$ git status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

frappe@ba0e35314905:~/frappe-bench/apps/frappe$ git status

I’m not sure how git will behave in a Docker context, hopefully someOne with a better understanding will help.

Yeah, I check manually, there is is no file .git/HEAD on erpnext or frappe folder
I don’t know how it works.

Were you able to solve this? I’m facing the exact same problem.

I figured out the issue on my end and maybe this will help someone else. Kind of stupid actually but in my docker file I had the below command. Somewhere I found a recommendation to add that but see now this isn’t correct.

# Clean Up
RUN find ~/frappe-bench/apps -mindepth 1 -path "*/.git" | xargs rm -fr
