Hey @blackmouse572,

It's because you are using 3.17.1 for all of your Payload packages but are using 3.20.0 for plugin-search. All of your Payload packages should match version numbers and you should not mismatch Payload versions.

validOperatorSet was also added in 3.18.0 iirc so thats why plugin-search is looking for it. Try updating the rest of your packages to 3.20.0 or downgrading plugin-search to 3.17.1 to match.

Hi @akhrarovsaid ,
Thanks for your response, how can this possible? I have change “latest” version off all payload package in packages.json

Shouldn’t all the packages be sync with same versions?

Hey @blackmouse572,

Not necessarily. If you want all version to be synced across all environments with a certainty, you should pin the versions. In your package.json set all of your payload versions to a distinct version without any carets (^). Delete node_modules and your lockfile and reinstall. You can also use the list or why utilities of your package manager to determine what versions you have installed at any point.
