frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Search field my_custom_field is not valid

1

Getting error frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Search field property_unit is not valid

Can’t figure out how to get to the root cause. Will appreciate for pointers to find out more details on why this error occurs. I checked the custom_field.json (from fixtures directory) but couldn’t find any field there.

@aakvatech how did you solved this?

3

Had to remove the field name from search field in the doctype

4

Alternatively to add a field into the doctype to get this moving.

Where are you getting this error?

5

I am getting this error with another field, but it seems it happens the new do modifications to doctype, I have uninstall an add-on app we did to get this solve

Hi @aakvatech. I am also getting similar error type frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Customer field is not valid

I moved db from V10 to V12. It connected but after 1st time bench update I got this error. And now site is Your system is being updated. Please refresh again after a few moments state.

How did you fix this issue? I can’t login to site now. Can only SSH. Thanks.

Restart bench and do bench update again if required.

8

Did that, no luck. Not sure why it worked 1st time. I copied db from my V10 instance to V12. Was able to compare Customer, supplier and financial between both through UI. After that bench update is throwing up error. Don’t have any custom app or customization except for print format.

Anything before this?

The site started working after I did bench set-maintenance-mode off

Keep getting this error on bench update --reset or bench migrate

I edited the trackback in earlier post. Nothing was missed. Its all after running the commands.
