Invalid payload. Collection \"logs\" doesn't exist.

[BorisKamp]

Hey!

I pulled my config locally, I then pushed to master, which builds my docker production image, I then run docker compose exec -u root directus npx directus-sync diff which works, this is the output:

I then run docker compose exec -u root directus npx directus-sync push which errors out:

    response: {}

logs is definitely there, here is a screenshot of my production db table called logs: In directus_collections you can also see it:

Why am I getting this error? Is there anything else I can do to debug further?

[EdouardDem]

Hi @BorisKamp.

• Do you see the collection logs in the target Directus instance models ?
• Did you try to use the --force flag (npx directus-sync push --force) ?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify this:

Do you see the collection logs in the target Directus instance models

please? Thanks

[EdouardDem]

Sorry, I didn't see the screenshot of directus_collections. Can you run the command with the debug flag : npx directus-sync push --debug and also the logs from Directus ?

[EdouardDem]

Do you use folders or sub-models to organize you models in Directus ? This may be an issue with the snapshot restore process of Directus. Sometimes it tries to create the sub-model before the parent and it can lead to this error.

I don't think so, these are my models:

[BorisKamp]

@EdouardDem I do recall months ago we went from the model name log to logs. I think this initiated the problem. What I don't get, is that now everything is renamed, there's still an issue.....

I removed the logs model entirely from production and then released a new docker image with the latest config from local (which includes the logs model), I then tried the push without success (see the error). However, I also created a snapshot (directus native) locally and applied that on production, and that worked great....

Maybe that helps you track the cause?

[BorisKamp]

@EdouardDem any idea?

[EdouardDem]

Maybe you have a remaining log reference in the JSON files. Can you search for log(not logs) in the directus-config folder ?

[Josiyahse]

Hey there, I have the same issue. I had a collection named "adress," which I deleted due to a typo. After that, I tried to sync my staging and production environments, but I encountered the same issue as you.

I connected directly to my Directus instance's database and found that there were still references to the deleted "adress" table in two Directus tables: directus_fields and directus_relations. I deleted these references to the non-existent table, and after that, my migration worked perfectly.

I do not have entries to the old collection log.

I do not find any results when doing this @EdouardDem
