Cannot build project

I constantly get the error :× Failed: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name') .
This happens after building my project. This only happens when the files are larger than something like 3500 KB.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
I have tried logging in and out, I have tried creating a new database file. If the file is smaller it does work.

Hi @coolruah ,

I guess you used dbdocs, right? So please correct me if I’m wrong.
Can you provide with me more context of your issue?

  • Which commands did you use?
  • Describe more about your previous steps before facing the issue.

Thank you.

Hey, Yes I used dbdocs, I used this extension in VS: GitHub - noakesey/d365fo-entity-schema: Visual Studio extension to generate entity relation schema for Dynamics 365 Finance Operations (D365FO).
I used this to generate my dbdocs scheme, which works fine if there are a limited amount of tables, but as the database file gets bigger I encounter this issue everytime.
This is the order in which I execute my commands:

dbdocs logout
dbdocs login
dbdocs ls
dbdocs build "C:\Users\localadmin\Desktop\New folder\database.dbml" --project newdynamics

I don’t know at exactly which size of file I encounter this issue but for example a file of 2000 KB works, however, something bigger like 3800 KB doesn’t work.
This is what I received after my latest attempt:

C:\Users\localadmin>dbdocs build "C:\Users\localadmin\Desktop\New folder\database.dbml" --project newdynamics
√ Parsing file content
× Failed: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

I am willing to share my database file privately.
Thank you.

Hello @huyleminh

Has there been an update for this?
Even if it’s just maybe outlining some clear restrictions like the file size or table count?

Thank you.

Hi @coolruah ,

Sorry for the late reply.

We have a restriction when building a project to dbdocs. But the error message should display the restriction to you.

So to verify your problem exactly, could you send us your DBML via support email dbdocs@holistics.io? We will keep your information private and use it for debugging only.

Thank you.

Hi @Phat_Nguyen_Truong ! Thank you for following up on this. I actually just tested now and found the issue. It was simply incompatibility with the Node.Js version I was using (12.2.0). After switching to a more recent version, I was able to upload to dbdocs! Thank you and I’m leaving this comment here in case others in the future with similar set-ups might be able to troubleshoot as well.
