Thank you

Seems something wrong in doctypes.json file. Save doctype again to generate appropriate json.

Thanks for reply. i deleted docktype folder( because i need to deal with only custom website for home page) but got AttributeError: ‘WebApplicationClient’ object has no attribute ‘populate_token_attributes’.
for cross check i tried to create custom app on server and install it on website by following command.
bench new-app myapp
bench --site www.xyz.com install-app myapp
then i got same error.

Hi

I’m getting the same error when trying to install an app (that I just created) on a different server

5

I can’t install any custom apps. I even tried bench reinstall but with no luck.

ValueError: Document for field "field_order" attached to child table of "YouTube Upload Settings" must be a dict or BaseDocument, not type 'unicode' (clientid)

and

ValueError: Document for field "field_order" attached to child table of "Step Failure Mode" must be a dict or BaseDocument, not type 'unicode' (potential_failure_mode)

Can anyone duplicate this? I created a new app on bench (latest develop branch), and when trying install-app on another bench (latest production version), I get the above.

hello @dirkvdl16 i was able to solve the problem by deleting doctype folder because in my project there was no need for doctype-field. i dont know what would be the side effect of deleting doctype folder. but for now its working…
Thank you.

Thanks for the info.

I figure that there must’ve been a recent change on the develop branch of frappe that changes the json structure on how DocTypes are saved. So my Production instance can’t read the json file correctly when it tries to install the custom app I made with frappe (on the latest development branch).

I’ve now changed my Development VM to still be a development environment, but use the master branch. This solves it for me

Cool thanks @dirkvdl16. Also experienced this issue when trying to install a custom app created on the develop branch. I’ve also now switched to using a development environment on the master branch.

Did you rebuild your entire custom app from scratch using the master branch or were you able to change the existing custom app back in the develop branch?

Thanks!

I fixed the .json files of the affected doctypes manually. Comparing old and new, you’ll see the structure changes, and be able to rejig your file to the old structure

ValueError: Document attached to child table must be a dict or BaseDocument, not type ‘unicode’ while installing custom app. Please assist to resolve this error.

Solution

I have made app with the structure of version 12 and after checking I get to know that client have ERPNext with version 10 So due to incompatibility I faced error.
