Bench Update Error on Custom Doctype

ERPNext
1

I created a custom Doctype for my requirements, but this doctype screwed up my migration. How can I restore a previous version of my site? I know bench takes 3 backups daily.

Migrating site1.local
Executing frappe.patches.v11_0.apply_customization_to_custom_doctype in site1.local (1bd3e0294da19198)

There was an issue while migrating the DocType: Sampling

You can uninstall the custom app, rerun the update, and then re-install the custom app. You might need to do a bench migrate to synch the DB

3

I am unable to run Bench Migrate because there seems to be some missing element in my doctype. Is there anyway I can access the doctype through SSH and add the missing data? so that the migration can run?

4

You can do

bench reload-doctype “Name Of Doctype To Reload”

but I am not sure if that works for custom apps/types

frappe@folder:~/frappe-bench$ bench reload-doctype Sampling
/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/manufacturing/doctype/sampling/sampling.json missing

Sampling is my file. Then I go to that folder, and none of my custom Doctypes are there. This happened after today’s update. Is there any way I can delete the custom doctypes from my sistem through ssh and start over? I have alot of other info that I don’t want deleted.

6

I don’t know that app - I can only guess - maybe the uninstall/reinstall will recreate the necessary tables/data?

7

Can you point to how can i do this?

8

I am guessing, but… (as user frappe)

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench --site site1.local uninstall-app Sampling

9

Same error:
ImportError: No module named Sampling

I think the issue is that the Doctype was created as Sample, and we later changed it to Sampling. Maybe renaming a doctype has a bug and didn’t update the file system (but it did update the database) and this is causing an issue

Thanks everyone for their help, but I think the quickest way to handle this is to create a new site and put the database back in.
