I recently updated my frappe and erpnext working trees, ran bench build, and since then, my ERPNext dev instance has been completely unusable.
<div class="main-section"> is not visible on the webpage and has fallen below .body-sidebar-container:-
This is using frappe_docker on a Macbook, with develop branches of frappe, erpnext, webshop` and a custom app.
The only 404 errors when running bench serve appear to be of no concern:-
192.168.65.1 - - [13/May/2025 06:06:06] "GET /socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=polling&t=PR8G1iS HTTP/1.1" 404 - 192.168.65.1 - - [13/May/2025 06:24:09] "GET /supplier_feeds/icons/icons.svg?v=1747117399.205631 HTTP/1.1" 404 -

Compiling translations for webshop
Actually, in writing this post, I’ve just pinned this down, since trying to figure it out since Thursday…
In my hooks.py, I have an Svg Icons section:-
# Svg Icons
# ------------------
# include app icons in desk
app_include_icons = "supplier_feeds/public/icons.svg"
I’ve just seen that commenting out app_include_icons, uninstalling and reinstalling my app and suddenly I get the main content back, but of course, without any icons…
I note there is no documentation at Hooks regarding app_include_icons, but in frappe’s hooks.py, it uses both app_include_icons and web_include_icons.
Further, I’ve just created a new app (bench new-app test), and it includes the same section. So, it’s not something I made up!
# Svg Icons
# ------------------
# include app icons in desk
# app_include_icons = "test/public/icons.svg"
Okay, questions!
- This worked fine before, when I was on a
version-15branch. There must be a breaking change ondevelopregardingapp_include_icons. What changed, and how can I useapp_include_iconsnow? - Is there any documentation for
app_include_icons? Why isapp_include_iconsincluded in the templatehooks.py, but not documented online? - Is there a new way to include SVG icons in frappe apps? The only vaguely relevant page I could find in the docs is: Custom Module Icon. This suggests I need to create a
desktop/config.pyfile now? - Debugging this has been immensely time-consuming and frustrating. I’ve not yet fixed it yet, but I struggle to understand why my site completely fell over, just because frappe has suddenly forgotten how to find this svg file? Can we improve this for anyone else in a similar situation?
