Redeploying causes error (Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'definitions')

[ghost]

Hi,

I tried to redeploy a CAP app (which uses cds-dbm), that I already succesfully deployed some time ago. The content of the app didn't change, only the location of the repository and therefor I needed to setup CI/CD pipelines again.

When testing my release pipeline I then came across the following error thrown by the deploy_to_postgresql task:

[APP/TASK/deploy_to_postgresql/0] ERR TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'definitions')

My project uses @sap/[email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]

The deployer app that's generated by my mta.yaml (through mbt build) gets the following package.json:

As there is no package-lock.json in the generated app, it causes the newest fitting versions to be installed for the deployer app when deploying, so I thought that might be an issue. However, when I install the newest versions of the 3 packages above and deploy to a local postgres (in docker) the deployment works without any errors with the exact same deploy command.

Can you support here? I'm a little bit lost as to what could be the issue.

Thanks & Best regards

Additional Info regarding this issue:

The issue above only occurs with the following deploy command:

npx cds-dbm deploy --load-via delta --auto-undeploy

when switching to --load-via full the issue doesn't occur

Maybe this helps in analyzing the issue
