Hi @vrms,

Go to ERPNext’s folder, open .git/config and make sure it is set up to fetch all branches in upstream:

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

After this run git fetch too.
Then you will be able to run bench switch-to-branch ...

This happens due to shallow cloning.

thanks @chdecultot

my erpnext/.git.config (after replacing the staging with * looks like this now

[core]
       repositoryformatversion = 0
       filemode = true
       bare = false
       logallrefupdates = true
[remote "upstream"]
       url = https://github.com/frappe/erpnext
       fetch = +refs/heads/staging:refs/remotes/upstream/*
[branch "staging"]
       remote = upstream
       merge = refs/heads/staging

even though this is the same as in the config file of frappe it is still not working out

~/frappe-bench$ bench switch-to-branch master erpnext --upgrade
fatal: Invalid refspec '+refs/heads/staging:refs/remotes/upstream/*'
Branch master does not exist in Upstream for erpnext
Switched to master
Please run `bench update --patch` to be safe from any differences in database schema

@vrms this is what you want

and this too:

looks like this is what I have (see above)

~/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext$ git fetch
fatal: Invalid refspec '+refs/heads/staging:refs/remotes/upstream/*'

use the config from here:

What is the official advice how to do backup of the whole ERPNext before upgrading it?

28

@generare This is the official way to do it:

bench --site [your site name] backup

This was detected and fixed immediately. So it ran successfully when re-run.

Thanks… so if I try it now, it will be successful on the first run?

Yes, I think so. Please report if that’s not the case.

34

OK, I will try it once again. System will be consistent even after two-pass-update?

35

Yeah, shouldn’t be an issue

Just got the same error, when tried to update on ESXi/Centos7. Tried also on VirtualBox/Ubuntu18.04 and got also the same error.

37

And works fine on re-running?
EDIT: Sorry, had fixed another issue with same error message. Thanks for reporting.

38

Okey, I’ll give it another try, have snapshots before update
