At times, the custom field is not getting created through fixtures. Why would it happen?

kirthi · June 6, 2016, 5:15am

When we export the custom field from devsetup to the production server through fixtures, the field doesn’t get displayed in the form. The field is present in the custom_field.json and yet it deosnt reflect in the UI., I have done bench reload-doc as well, and still no update.

I’m wondering what 's going on…why wouldnt it load from the json?

@sagar It works. But then, I just realized that when i run bench run-tests it all goes away again.

Has someone experienced this with bench run-tests?

bench run-tests always fails since it cannot find the custom fields…I wonder if this is a system issue or something to do with my customizations?

@kirthi
bench run-tests delete all custom fields before execution.

so you have to sync fixtures first while executing test cases.
