How to solve duplicate entry error while installing packages/modules in erpnext, eg indain_compliance module

Hey I have been trying to install indian_compliance module on my ubuntu vm for use on erpnext using the following commands in terminal:

bench get-app https://github.com/resilient-tech/india-compliance.git
bench install-app india_compliance

but it failed once for some reason and a folder got created in home\frappe-bench\apps\indian_compliance

then on retrying the same command was getting this error:

raise frappe.DuplicateEntryError(self.doctype, self.name, e)
frappe.exceptions.DuplicateEntryError: ('Module Def', 'GST India', IntegrityError(1062, "Duplicate entry 'GST India' for key 'PRIMARY'"))

but then tried deleting the folder but still getting the same error code

Before this I was facing similar error while installing erpnext

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

but the only solution I found was to to make a completely new machine !! from scratch i have faced this error quite a few times and it has become a hassle to create an entire new machine again, there must be a way to solve such error, like somehow deleting it from the mysql database on the machine, but was not able to figure much out

mysql -u root -p
SHOW DATABASES;
USE database_name_here;
SHOW TABLES;

then what to do next how to find the duplicate entry is what i am not able to do

Solution

  • I was facing similar error, the way I solved was by finding the duplicate packages in mysql and deleting them, in your case too this should work, you mysql steps are infact correct to a point first follow them again:

    mysql -u root -p
SHOW DATABASES;
USE database_name_here;
SHOW TABLES;

    then

    SELECT * FROM `tabModule Def`;
DELETE FROM `tabModule Def` WHERE app = 'Indian Compliance';

    then the install commands should run!!
