Hi!

I just wanted to push a cloud function to my self hosted Appwrite 1.7.4 server.
While the init part works (I can see the function in the web console), i'm not able to push function to the server anymore.

I can run the function local just fine.

In the Appwrite logs i can see the following:

appwrite  | [Error] Timestamp: 2025-09-22T10:47:20+00:00
appwrite  | [Error] Method: PUT
appwrite  | [Error] URL: /v1/functions/:functionId
appwrite  | [Error] Type: Utopia\Database\Exception
appwrite  | [Error] Message: Must define $id attribute
appwrite  | [Error] File: /usr/src/code/vendor/utopia-php/database/src/Database/Database.php
appwrite  | [Error] Line: 4111

The error i get when i use the CLI to push the function is the following:

AppwriteException [Error]: Server Error
    at Client.call (C:\Users\matthias.merk\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appwrite-cli\lib\client.js:214:13)

  code: 500,
  response: 'general_unknown'
}

appwrite -v: 8.3.0

Can anyone help me getting this to run again? All the functions that are already deployed are working fine...

Summary

When pushing functions, consider setting default instead of NULL and backup before making changes. Additionally, try flushing Redis to clear cache if needed.

I updated the Console version as sugested in another support thread (to fix missing buttons ando other display errors of the console)

Edit: I switched back to the 1.7.4 default versions but still have the same errors. I updated to 1.7.4 way back when it was released and was able to push functions some time ago...

I also just noticed, that i can push older functions without any problems.

Some more testing:

A cli deployment is possible using:

Plain text

But it also fails with the error

"Must define $id attribute"

But at least I can see the deployment in the console

Here is a log from appwrite-worker-builds:

appwrite-worker-builds  | Build id: 68d282cf759409d801d7 created
appwrite-worker-builds  | Build failed:
appwrite-worker-builds  | Must define $id attribute

appwrite-worker-builds  | #0 /usr/src/code/src/Appwrite/Platform/Modules/Functions/Workers/Builds.php(1208): Utopia\Database\Database->updateDocument('schedules', '', Object(Utopia\Database\Document))

I also noticed, that if i try to change function settings in the console, i also get a server error:

Error] Message: ***.***@***.com (role: users) missing scope (functions.read)

But do you install your instance from 1.7.4 or did you upgrade it? seems like you miss a migration 🤔

It was a upgrade.

I just did some more Testing. I created a new Project on the same Server and migrated the data over. in the new Project everything is working as it should...

I'm out of Ideas now

Hi! I have to get back to this problem....
I'm still unable to push new functions.

It's a self hosted 1.7.4 Server.
appwrite/console:6.1.21
CLI 8.3.0

Like a couple of month ago I'm unable to push new functions. Init works, and i can see the functions in the console. Push fails with "Server Error".
Pulling older functions and redeploing them works just fine.

Im really out of Ideas and need your help.

What can I do? What do I need to check?

Besides of this problem the project is running just fine with ~600 Users.

Other Projects on the same server are running just fine!

I'm really looking forward for any help!

Maybe you can see if there is any error running this command docker compose logs appwrite(after try to push your function)

Thanks for helping me out! After pushing a new function, i can see two errors:

Function with the requested ID could not be found
Invalid document structure: Missing required attribute "region"

appwrite  | [Error] Timestamp: 2026-05-11T06:53:11+00:00

And if i delete the function in the web console I get an Server Error aswell, but the function is deleted.

The Error in the Logs is the following:

[Error] Timestamp: 2026-05-11T07:16:23+00:00

Are you using CLI or the console to create/push the function if you're using CLI what is the version?

Sorry for bringing this up again... but I still have no Idea what to do.
I just tried to make a knew function via the web console -> Server Error

Is there anything I can do?

hey, just something to check, is it normal that your using 6.1.21 for the console ?
in the compose it shows 6.0.13 ( https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/1.7.4/app/views/install/compose.phtml#L180 )

other thing, it looks like the function itself is wrongly created.
if you created the function from the console, try to create from the CLI (with an appwrite.json or appwrite.config.json file).
If via CLI the function does create properly, it might be because of the console version (iirc it's in 1.8.0 that the region thing got released)

Also can you check others containers logs like worker databases, functions and maybe build as well if there is something ?

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I just found some time to have a look at the issue again.

I just had a look at the projects at the database level (I replaced the project names with xxx):

+-------------+----------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------+
| internal_id | project_id | name | region | version |
+-------------+----------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------+
| 1 | 625fc74f9528e70d092b | xxx| NULL | 1.6.0 |
| 5 | 673b3b41002d599dd100 | xxx| default | 1.6.0 |
| 6 | 67f6321800235ea4712f | xxx| default | 1.6.0 |
| 7 | 67ea5a0b0002ab59c69b | xxx| default | 1.7.4 |
| 8 | 68d29f2d003461e52277 | xxx| default | 1.7.4 |
| 9 | 68f899400038c60aebb1 | xxx| default | 1.7.4 |
| 10 | 69c3a99e002b588e4ab6 | xxx| default | 1.7.4 |
| 11 | 69f99e7e003c040c91af | xxx| default | 1.7.4 |
+-------------+----------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------+

Project 1 with region NULL is the one with the problems...

Is it safe to change it to default? anything else to check?

Ibaraki Douji

since you didn't get any reply, i think there is nothing preveniting you from setting default instead of NULL, tho i would still recommend making a backup or at least have a revert script in case it doesn't resolve the issue.

Also you might need to flush redis to clear the cache.
