Upgrade from v1.16 to v1.17 errors making twenty server crash

Bug Description

During an upgrade from v1.16 to v1.17, we encounter an error that prevent the upgrade to finish and make twenty server crash:

After that, twenty server just crash (the docker container stops).

Technical inputs

Some information that may be useful (or not at all):

• Twenty is self-hosted, using Docker compose.
• We had enabled the Dashboard feature in beta in version v1.14
• I just successively upgraded twenty from v1.14, upgrading from successive version (v1.14 -> v1.15, v1.15 -> v1.16) without noticing any errors just before trying to upgrade to v1.17.

@Rom1an Thanks for the detailed bug report and logs, they’re very helpful.

I’m new to the Twenty repo, but I’d like to work on this issue and try to reproduce it in a self-hosted Docker setup, following the same upgrade path (v1.16 → v1.17), especially with the Dashboard beta previously enabled.

Based on the logs, the upgrade process appears to fail due to non-idempotent migration steps and missing filesystem artifacts:

• Attempting to drop a column (name) that does not exist
• Re-adding a unique constraint that already exists
• Crashing on missing .local-storage directories during workflow migration (ENOENT)

My proposed approach:

1. Reproduce the issue on a clean v1.16 instance upgraded to v1.17.
2. Investigate DeleteFileRecordsAndUpdateTableCommand and related migration logic.
3. Add existence guards for columns and constraints to make migrations idempotent.
4. Make the upgrade flow resilient to missing local storage paths (skip instead of hard fail).
5. Ensure workspace-level errors do not crash the entire server process.

Unless someone is already assigned, I’d be happy to take ownership of this issue.

So, i made some progress, but only to hit a bigger wall.
Using the code (such as packages/twenty-server/src/database/commands/upgrade-version-command/1-17/1-17-migrate-workflow-code-steps.command.ts) i understood that the migration code was looking for both serveless function source and build, respectively in WORKSPACE-ID/serverless-function and WORKSPACE-ID/built-function folders. Since I was completely missing the built-function folder, i rolled back to v1.16 and provoked the creation of built files by running Workflows. Once done, I was able to start the migration and complete it successfully (there was only few errors related to database wanted to do already existing things, I d'ont think this is the cause of the issue):

Besides that, after few seconds, the docker container simply crash, and I have absolutely no error message nor nothing that can help to understand why... Here is what I see when I do a docker logs -f twenty-server:

[...]

[Then nothing and the container stops]

Getting the same error when upgrading my installation from 1.16.7 to 1.17.0. Doing an upgrade with the same versions on a fresh installation does not cause the issue and the workspace is upgraded to 1.17.0. So it must be related to some data in the existing installation.

The reason seems to be that the migration script tries to delete a bunch of columns that don't exist in table file of schema core for a 1.16.7 database.

So, after modifying the "core"."file" table, just to test if the encountered errors where the cause of the crash, I managed to run a migration without any errors:

However, this does not fix anything... After a few seconds, the container stops... Could someone take a look at this ?
