ERPNext upgrafe v12 to v13 fails on updating dashboard for erpnext

Install / Update
1

I get the following failure when upgrading from v12 to v13. The upgrade works fine but fails on the migrate phase for ERPNext dashboard so it is incomplete.

I can run ERPNext v13 but when I enter a Sales Order, I get a failure sound but no error message - don’t know if this is related but it’s worrying that the migrate didn’t complete properly.

I’ve tried reinstalling erpnext previously but it still fails to migrate completely. I assumed it was a problem with a database entry. I noticed there were only a few rows in the tabDashboard* tables, so I delete existing rows except for tabDashboard Settings. When rerunning bench migrate, 4 rows are created in tabDashboard Chart Source and then it fails. Any hints to fix this? :

Although the system starts, I am unable to process documents. I can’t create new Sales Orders, for example. I tried switching to the dev branch and back again as that sometimes fixes things. Same error when migrating or bench update --patch. So I tried cancelling one sales order and amending it. When submitting, the error message appears: “pymysql.err.OperationalError: (1054, “Unknown column ‘c.is_billing_contact’ in ‘field list’”)”. So a column that was not added to the DB during migration? But which table?

Apologies for not giving a status update. I kind of fixed it. In my case, ERPNext did start up and I was able to input a Sales Order but when I tried to post it, nothing happened. So I switched from Brave browser back to Chrome. Then when I tried posting, an error popped up about the is_billing_contact column not being found. After some investigation, I guessed it must belong in the Contacts table so I added it manually. That worked and everything seems fine now. But I haven’t tried running the upgrade again in case that breaks something else and I don’t know if is_billing_contact was also the ‘unknown column name’ mentioned in the upgrade error. Seriously, why these things get missed in the upgrade script, I don’t know. But I hope the info proves helpful to you.
