Whenever an action is supposed to trigger a notification, I see the following in the logs:

I’m still getting these errors above in the latest API unstable version.

When I GET e.g. https://_ **.** _.\*\*/api/v1/projects/7/webhooks

I get:

The API Docker container says:

Also maybe worth mentioning that I’ve added VIKUNJA\_WEBHOOKS\_ENABLED after the initial instalation in a later restart.

Can you check in the `migrations` table which migrations were run?

There is no `migrations` table.

These are all the tables that are there:

Does it work if you delete the entry for `20230913202615` and restart the Vikunja api?

Was this a new installation or an upgrade?

It was a fresh instalation.  
That seems to have gotten rid of the missing table error, however now when I add a comment to a task I’m still getting this error:

This error only happens when I add or update a comment.

This doesn’t appear to be webhook related. I missunderstood that webhooks need to be setup per project manually and tought they worked globally based on actions taken.

Looks like the ci build failed and thus the unstable build you used didn’t contain the fix. The current latest unstable build now has the fix, please pull the update and try again.

I can confirm the error is no longer there on the latest unstable version.
