here is it... thanks for patience

[ryanmitchell]

Do you have any entries in collections that no longer exist? That’s what that error usually indicates.

i had an empty collection, and deleted it (file based)

[ryanmitchell]

It looks like a data issue to me more than a code one. Are you able to share your repo or a sample one showing the issue?

[ryanmitchell]

Any update on this?
