I hit the same issue with a fresh install.

Dear @sharpec could you find the solution ?
i’m having same problem;

4

Did bench update solve your case ?

5

Update your ERPnext the problem would be gon away.

6

hey, i am new to erpnext development. i seem to have run into the same problem here.

what do you mean by :

Could you please describe the steps involved?
Does it mean just “bench update”? or git pull in the erpnext app folder? or something else entirely?

7

Bench update should do it

8

got to bench folder and run bench update --pull
it worked for me

9

Unfortunately, that didn’t do it for me. The update was again trying to run the same patches and it seemed to show the same errors again…

what worked for me: stop the problematic patches from executing in the first run… then execute them in the second pass…

BTW thanks guys for pitching in.
