Context

  • Agent (forest package) name & version: “forest-express-mongoose”: “^8.0.0”
  • Database type: mongoDB

Hello @fletoxIsHere,

UAT is a remote environment, are you sure that you are developing smart actions on it? The usual process is to develop smart actions locally on development environments, and then release them on remote environments.

I’m sharing this question because I noticed that the environment UAT had a few changes on August 3rd (changes in field definitions), but we did not receive any change since then.

The schema associated to the development environment on this project has not been changed since July.

Can you please share the 3 last characters of the environment secret that is configured on the environment you’re working on?

Also, can you check the value of NODE_ENV on this environment? When NODE_ENV is set to production, the schema is not automatically updated, which could explain why we did not receive any change.

Last question: can you see your action in your .forestadmin-schema.json file, which should have been generated inside your project’s folder.

yes i am developing directly on UAT server with ssh tunnel on vs insider.

the last 3 characters of the environment secret: b23

the project is runnig on container, this is the dockerfile of UAT env:
FROM node:14-bullseye
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY .npmrc package.json yarn.lock server.js /usr/src/app/
RUN yarn install --production
COPY data /usr/src/app/data
COPY config /usr/src/app/config
COPY src /usr/src/app/src
RUN yarn add nodemon
RUN npm install -g nodemon
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ “npm”, “run”, “dev” ]
ARG VERSION=“latest”
ENV VERSION “$VERSION”

there is changes that i can see on forest and forest ask me to refresh the page but still not added to the file .forestadmin-schema.json.

Can you please share

  • the value of NODE_ENV on this server?
  • the code declaring the new smart actions (I don’t need the implementation, just the declaration)

Have there been any other recent changes on the agent?

hi,
magenta.env.getString(“VERSION”, “dev”);
smart action declaration: name: ‘import Completed Rides’
we made migration on the agent from 7.9.1 to 8.0.0
thank you

Do you have access to the console on your server?

The latest released version of forest-express-mongoose on v8 (8.7.10, released yesterday) displays warnings in the console on the reasons why the schema is not updated. It could help to ugprade to this version and read the console message.

Could you please do the upgrade and copy/paste the messages here?

I don’t know how your servers are configured, but I’m not sure to see the link between magenta.env.getString(“VERSION”, “dev”); and the environment variable named NODE_ENV.

I took a look at the documentation for migrating from v7 to v8, and I did not find anything that seems related to your issue. It could be worth to check this documentation anyway to find if there are any changes needed regarding your customizations.
