Database not recording assets

I have an issue with a new site I am building. It is still in the development stage however I have run into a problem that I have not encountered before with other Perch installs.

My problem is that I find that Perch is not writing the assets to the database. I tried uploading an image both through an image field type and directly through the Asset Page. At first it will show a thumbnail of the image before it processes. Once the processing happens, the thumbnail goes away, but does not appear in the Assets. I checked the resource folder on the server and the upload is successful even when a crop is coded. To ensure the file was good I downloaded it and there were no issues with the file. I searched to see if there were any similar problems with solutions and did what I could. One thread that I found said to change a value in the resourceAWOL column but when I looked that's when I discovered there was nothing in the resources table.

All the other data text data was captured fine without issue.

Here is the diagnostic

Health check

Was this a fresh install of 2.8.34?

Yes it was a fresh install.

Has this always been the case or did it start happening at some point?

It has always been the case with this install.

If you turn on debug and replace an image within the Assets app, what does the debug output say?

It appears there are a few missing columns.

Did you get any errors during setup?

Aside from typo or 2 when entering the credentials for install no.

Can you try doing a force-update by visiting this path in your site?

/perch/core/update/?force=update

I tried that. It seemed to have worked partially, it now registers in assets but does not show a preview image of the asset. Is that normal?

Here is what debug returned upon the forced update. There were a lot of duplicate column errors, which I assume would be normal for the forced update?

I tried uploading through an image field as well. That doesn't work as intended either. The upload works, it recognizes the asset being linked to it. I can see it on the page when looking at the site.

However, after adding the image the image field does not change from "Select or upload an image" to what the file attached actually is. Nor does it indicate what file is attached in the asset panel when I click on the link to select or upload an image. The asset panel doesn't show preview images either, just the names like the asset page / library.

Yes, you'd expect the SQL errors, as the update tried to reinforce the state of the DB. Looks like it did fix some things though.

Do you have much content entered into this install? It sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong here.

No content really. Just started integrating perch into the design and inserting filler content to make sure it works correctly.

I take it just do a reinstall of Perch.

I would drop the database tables and do a fresh install. Keep a close eye for any errors either on the page on in the log.

The reinstall worked. Thanks for the help.

I have come across another problem with my assets that was stated in this thread. Any new image assets I upload are again not displaying a preview thumbnail in the Assets page or panel. In addition to that the upload field does not display the file that is chosen but "Select File To Upload" instead. That new chosen asset also displays just fine on the front end. However, I looked in the database and the asset is being recorded and the file is successfully processed to the resources folder.

I do want to mention prior to this I did upload 2 assets to make sure everything worked after the reinstall. Those 2 assets display as expected. I don't know what could of happened to cause the problem. I was just working with my HTML templates when it stopped working after I updated.

Do you have any idea why Perch would suddenly stop displaying previews for new assets and show them as the chosen file for the field even when it seems to be recorded every where else?

Perch is a set of deterministic code, so it won't suddenly do anything different - it something has changed then it's in the environment. Have you checked the basics like available disk space?

I checked the environment and nothing has changed there either from what I can tell. Disk space 500mb used of 100 gb is a non issue and the same with bandwidth. All the sites I have are not big and don't draw a lot of traffic.

I turned on debug and didn't notice any errors reported from Perch. It's just odd how the assets work initially as expected then new assets don't show previews but are written to and read from the database, show up on the front-end, and processed to the server yet don't show up in the field they were inserted nor display a preview. Something is amiss somewhere and I'm not sure where to look. I have only a basic understand of programming and servers. So troubleshooting on my own is difficult.

What's changed between when it was working and now?

I was working on some of my templates. The field that I was trying to upload through didn't have a label so I added one for clarity. Initially I used the same value for the label as I did the id. After my last post I tried changing the label and even id and tried uploading again, but still had the same result.

I didn't write or upload any php that was out of the ordinary either.
