Hi I am also getting the same error. Have you found the solution yet?

3

No, checked on other instance as well, upgrade is giving error after latest release.

Till last release (Release v8.0.14) I was able to upgrade same instance which failed with Release v8.0.15.

4

I am getting the same error… Any fixes yet??

Hi,

You can try this:

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench --site sitename mysql
ALTER TABLE tabDocType MODIFY COLUMN in_dialog int(1) NULL;

Then run bench update.

After that you can change the previous mysql command as before:

ALTER TABLE tabDocType MODIFY COLUMN in_dialog int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1;

Thanks @Krishna_Das

Update worked perfectly after modifying column, but after update re-modifying column gave error as below.

ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column ‘in_dialog’ in ‘tabDocType’

7

Same problem. The ALTER TABLE solution above did not seem to solve the problem. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

8

I have the same. I added the column in_dialog manually, but this is not resolving the isssue.
I’m migrating (or try) from 8.013 to 9

9

I’m almost through with a fix for this. Follow the progress here:
https://github.com/frappe/frappe/issues/4311

I finally was able to migrate to V9.
This is what I did:

Install ERPnext
I installed a complete new instance of erpnext

  1. Download the install script
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
  2. Run the install script
    sudo python install.py --production --user frappe

Restore
Copy content of site1.local (or your site directory) to the corresponding directory in the new created instance of frappe-bench.

Copy your last backup of your database to /frappe/frappe-bench/
Something like 20170421_091326_2a418746_database.sql

Open terminal
Type “sudo su”
Go to the frappe-bench folder
“cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench“
Run the following bench commands (to restore db and run latest)
If needed install extensions:
install base_vat
bench get-app base_vat GitHub - saguas/frappe_base_vat: Repository for frappe base vat application
bench install-app base_vat

install poll
bench get-app poll GitHub - frappe/poll: Online Polling App
bench install-app poll

restore ERPnext database
bench --force restore sqlfile.sql (sqlfile.sql = name of the recent backupfile)

bench mysql
ALTER TABLE tabDocType ADD COLUMN restrict_to_domain VARCHAR(40);
bench --force reload-doc core doctype page

You will need to copy the encryption keys from your old server. (they will be there in bench/sites/sitename/site_config.json)

bench build
bench migrate
bench restart
