Unknown dialect undefined

[davidbesteltunts]

Hi, I'm getting an error when trying to generate the types, but this error only occurs in the bitbucket pipeline, I have tried to simulate the error locally but I always get success.

Error: Failed to spawn remote strapi: /usr/app/node_modules/@strapi/database/lib/dialects/index.js:36
throw new Error(`Unknown dialect ${client}`);

This error only appeared now, when I updated the library version to 1.0.2. I used to use version 0.5.5, but this also started generating an error (so I updated to 1.0.2):

Error from 0.5.5: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'attributes')

Command used in 0.5.5: "t4s -i ../../apps/cms/src -o src/generated --prefix=''" Command used in 1.0.2: "t4s -i ../../apps/cms -o src/generated --prefix='' --reader=load-strapi"

Strapi Version: 4.11.1 Node Version: 16

Strapi Database:

export default ({ env }) => {
  return {
    connection: {
      client: 'postgres',
      connection: {
        host: env('DATABASE_HOST', ''),
        port: env.int('DATABASE_PORT', 5432),
        database: env('DATABASE_NAME', ''),
        user: env('DATABASE_USERNAME', ''),
        password: env('DATABASE_PASSWORD'),
        ssl: env.bool('DATABASE_SSL', false),
      },
    },
    pool: {
      min: 0,
      max: 10,
    },
  };
};

Can you help me? it doesn't matter which version, I just need to be able to generate the types the way they already work, thank you in advance.

Short answer:

To make it work like it used to in <v1, try setting the flag --reader by-file.

Long answer

Try falling back to using a sqlite database. The problem is probably that your pipeline cannot connect/create a database and the way it works right now is by temporarily starting the strapi server to extract all the content types from your app and plugins.

I hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't work

@Alexnortung Thanks for the reply, the "Short answer" option worked.
