Description

Question:
Is this a critical error cause the DB seemed to be fine after a restart. I did not investigate any details though.

Oh, that's interesting!

After investigating this I learned there is indeterminism involved here.
This error occurs if the Contacts migration 2 (part of DM 4.6) runs before the Type Editor plugin is activated.

When updating to 4.6 fails shutdown and start again. The next time Type Editor might be activated before Contacts. Retry this until all plugins are activated. The Contacts migration will finally run properly.

The proper solution is to remove that indeterminism by adding importModels=de.deepmehta.typeeditor to the Contacts plugin. I will do so for the next release.

Background: Contacts migration no. 2 replaces the Phone/Address? "Entry" topic types by corresponding association types and deletes the topic types. When deleting a topic type which is involved in an Assoc Def as a child type the Type Editor plugin hooks in and rebuilds the "sequence". (The sequence is the internal data structure that defines the order of the child types.) If the rebuild doesn't happen (because the Type Editor plugin is not yet activated) the sequence will be broken, resulting in a corrupt parent type.

Note: the DB rollback will remove that corruption. The memory (type cache) however is not rolled back. That is why you need to actually restart the server (in contrast to e.g. refreshing the Contacts plugin).

Lesson learned for plugin developers:
if your plugin uses a migration to delete a topic type which is involved in an Assoc Def as a child type your plugin MUST declare de.deepmehta.typeeditor in its importModels property.

(This apparently is not a comfortable situation for the plugin developer. The Core should care about the type definitions automatically.)

BTW: now it becomes clear that importModels should actually be renamed to waitFor. See #840, in particular ticket:840#comment:2.

That you very much for revealing this undetermined problem!

Ok, thanks! That would also explains why, in another try i just performed, the migration just ran through fine (without such an exception).

Also for the explanation about my question: In this case of an exception the necessary Migration is rolled back, which equals to not performed and the database upgrade can not be regarded as complete.

In 22eca4cfb8c48e09e45da0e2b140bdaa514adcde/deepamehta:

Contacts: fix 4.5 -> 4.6 upgrade (#900).

The Contacts plugin now waits for the Type Editor plugin.

Note: Contacts migration no. 2 (as of DM 4.6) deletes the "Entry" child topic types.
At that time the Type Editor must be in place in order to maintain the assoc def sequence.

Thank you very much, Malte, for reporting!

See #900.

Could it be that this dependency is also need if my plugin just adds a new assocDef to an existing "Type Definition". I ask because i had the same error in another context but there the migration just uses addAssocDef and nothing more.

Thanks for the clarification on the phone!

Replying to jri:

if your plugin uses a migration to delete a topic type which is involved in an Assoc Def as a child type your plugin MUST declare de.deepmehta.typeeditor in its importModels property.

(This apparently is not a comfortable situation for the plugin developer. The Core should care about the type definitions automatically.)

This is now addressed in the follow-up #942.
