Hi @Houssem_Yahiaoui, and welcome to our community :wave:

Would it be possible to have your project name so I can check your configuration on our end?

Migrating from v5 to v8 can be a really big migration, especially since most of these versions introduced a lot of breaking changes. Do you have a more precise insight of when you started to experience this issue (While migrating to v6, v7, v8?)

It will help a lot in order to assist you in the resolution of this issue :pray:

Hi @jeffladiray yeah :confused: I’m really aware of it, I’ve tried to fix all the breaking issues from DB connection to everything else in between, all was good until this nasty issue came to live I will send you the data privately, but the project is still developing, our prod still using v5.

This issue actually appeared in v8, I’m sorry as I know this is very dangerous but we jumped from v5 to v8 directly :upside_down_face:

I will send you the data privately

You can contact me via DM here. Once I’ve got your project name I’ll take a look at your configuration to check if I can spot any issue with your current configuration :pray:

In the meantime, you could also give a shot at this strategy, which usually make it easier to migrate for old version to the latest:

  • Download our latest forest-cli version
  • Create a new project, and filled in your current database informations
  • Generate the new project, and compare the old and the generated sources
  • Do some fixes?
  • Delete the new project once the old one is migrated

Let me know if that helps
