I am attempting an app rebuild and having a failure on ‘bundle exec rake db:migrate’. This is an existing installation that has been running quite a while. Most of the searches I’ve seen about this problem seem to be tied to plugins, but I have no additional plugins in use. Just stock Discourse. Plenty of disk space available. Related log below. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I finally managed to sort this out. While scrubbing the output of my build, I found a line that said something about an unrecognized plugin. I went into my app.yml and I only had two listed - docker_manager and discourse-checklist. When I went to look at discourse-checklist I noted that it had been merged into core so I removed it from app.yml. After this my build proceeded successfully.

Hey there, have you tried asking the Dr? ./discourse-doctor Also, rebooting the server, albeit an extreme approach, has worked for me in the past. Are you upgrading from a very old version?

I did try the discourse doctor. All it seemed to do was attempt the rebuild again and didn’t give me much useful otherwise. Rebooting server didn’t do anything :confused: I’m two minor versions behind so no, not terribly old.

This is the issue [image] Greg Dunlap: rake aborted! [checklist] Javascript files under `assets/javascripts` are automatically included in JS bundles. Manual register_asset calls should be removed. (attempted to add javascripts/checklist_ui.js) Can you please check which branch of Discourse you are on via git status and share here? Your error message doesn’t make a lot of sense to me as if you look at the source code there is no such command.

I am still experiencing this problem and all my attempts to resolve it have failed. Anyone have any ideas for me?

I had a similar error while doing some updates tonight. Running ./launcher rebuild app a 2nd tie did the trick. Maybe try again??
