Standard application is missing messageList view ${LIST_VIEW

Error message

Standard application is missing messageList view ${LIST_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER}

What it means

Thrown by the 2.20 workspace upgrade command that creates the messageList standard view. In resolveViewsToCreate, after confirming the workspace does not yet have the 'allMessageLists' view, the command calls findFlatEntityByUniversalIdentifier against the computed twenty-standard-application flat view maps. If the standard definitions do not contain a FlatView with the universal identifier derived from STANDARD_OBJECTS.messageList.views.allMessageLists, the lookup returns undefined and the command throws. This is a code-level invariant: the command assumes the installed twenty-shared package defines that view.

Solutions

1. Verify STANDARD_OBJECTS.messageList.views.allMessageLists.universalIdentifier exists in the installed twenty-shared package (rebuild twenty-shared if stale: npx nx build twenty-shared)
2. Ensure twenty-server and twenty-shared are at the same release version in the monorepo
3. Run the command with --dryRun first to confirm the standard view resolves without side effects
4. If the standard definition was intentionally removed, delete or update this upgrade command to match

Example fix

// before: identifier references a view that no longer exists in standard definitions
const LIST_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER =
  LIST.views.allMessageLists.universalIdentifier;

// after: guard with an early return if the standard definition is absent
const LIST_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER =
  LIST.views.allMessageLists?.universalIdentifier;

if (!isDefined(LIST_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER)) {
  this.logger.warn('messageList allMessageLists view not in standard definitions, skipping');
  return;
}

// Before running the upgrade, verify the standard view exists in the installed definitions
import { STANDARD_OBJECTS } from 'twenty-shared/metadata';

const viewUid = STANDARD_OBJECTS.messageList?.views?.allMessageLists?.universalIdentifier;

if (!viewUid) {
  throw new Error('twenty-shared does not define messageList.views.allMessageLists — rebuild twenty-shared or align versions');
}

import { isDefined } from 'twenty-shared/utils';

const hasStandardView = (uid: string | undefined): uid is string =>
  isDefined(uid) && uid.length > 0;

When it happens

Trigger: Running 'upgrade:2-20:create-message-list-view' when twenty-shared/metadata STANDARD_OBJECTS.messageList.views.allMessageLists.universalIdentifier does not resolve to a FlatView in computeTwentyStandardApplicationAllFlatEntityMaps. Happens on version skew between twenty-server and twenty-shared, or if the standard messageList object was forked/modified to omit the allMessageLists view.

Common situations: Upgrading a fork where standard objects were customized; running the command against an incompatible twenty-shared build; a regression in standard metadata definitions that removed or renamed the allMessageLists view identifier.
