Yes, Here is my version
I think it because it run on localhost

Similar error noted here AttributeError: 'Meta' object has no attribute 'permissions'

And reported here AttributeError: 'Meta' object has no attribute 'permissions' · Issue #15130 · frappe/erpnext · GitHub to be fixed

A wild guess possibly a result of this caching change to develop two weeks ago optimize(meta): meta is now cached in redis by rmehta · Pull Request #5948 · frappe/frappe · GitHub

read about it here too [Performance] 1 Sales Invoice Save makes ~700+ DB calls. ~1000+ DB calls on Submit - #28 by jpp

I strongly suspect you’re right. I’m getting the same error, but if I clear the cash the next notification works fine, then subsequent notifications (until I clear the cache again) go back to failing with the error message above.

“if I clear the cash the next notification works fine, then subsequent notifications (until I clear the cache again) go back to failing with the error message above”

That’s good info! nabin closed issue # 15130 a few days ago with no note why. If an update does not fix your error I suggest re-open that issue and add this thread to the discussion.

That’s a very good call. I’ll test it out as soon as the next release comes out and report back here.
