Smart view missing in all environments

Feature(s) impacted

Smart view of a collection not available

Observed behavior

I created a new smart view on a collection in development, released the schema changes associated to our test environment but the smart view didn’t appear. I clicked the button to deploy changes to test as usual and still they weren’t there. Going back to my development environment, my branch has 0 changes and the smart view isn’t available.

Expected behavior

I expect smart views to persist beyond deployments and to be released with those deployments.

Hello @richw-kai

To help me investage, can you tell me the your collection name and your smart view name ? Also I would like to know the name of the environment you deployed your changes on.

Thanks in advance

Hi, the collection name is conversations_conversationHealth and I deployed it to test-v2. However I have found that the update to 1.60.1 seems to be the main issue. When I try to view the collection locally, I’m getting this error:

error: [500] POST /forest/_internal/capabilities - 37ms

I’m assuming it is the root cause for the collection not deploying but if I revert back to 1.53.1 the error goes away but the smart view is still missing

Hello @richw-kai,

Could you share the versions of the @forestadmin packages you upgraded to in your package.json ? I suspect that you’re using an older version of the inner dependency @forestadmin/datasource-toolkit from which isPrimitiveType is imported

I had updated the versions of them to:
“@forestadmin/agent”: “^1.60.1”,
“@forestadmin/datasource-mongoose”: “^1.11.3”,
“@forestadmin/datasource-replica”: “^1.6.4”,
“@forestadmin/datasource-sequelize”: “^1.12.1”,
“@forestadmin/datasource-sql”: “^1.16.10”,
“@forestadmin/plugin-flattener”: “^1.4.11”,

but moved over to my laptop and clearly didn’t rerun an install. This has been resolved with an npm install.

Still outstanding issue of the missing smart view unfortunately. Any ways we can retrieve it somehow?

Hello @richw-kai,

Great that the install resolved the second issue.

Looking at your test-v2 environment it seems like there were errors when generating your layout.

After investigating it seems like some manual edits done directly on the test-v2 environment resulted in a broken state of the layout, meaning it could not resolve the later changes pushed to the branch.

We have removed the problematic edition and rebuilt your layout. Are you able to see your changes as expected now ?

Thanks very much for sorting this. The smart view is there now and the other collections are too. Not sure what the manual edits were that caused the issue so will see if someone tries to make changes in the future that cause it to fail again!

Thanks again
