OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such column: dbs.impersonate_user

Please help!

Make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue - thank you!

• [ yes ] I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if any
• [ yes ] I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset
• [ yes ] I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven’t found one similar

I looked at a similar issue https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/3517 However, I don’t understand how it was fixed.

Superset version

~# pip freeze | grep superset
superset==0.22.1

Expected results

A webpage displaying a list of Tables.

Actual results

Exception on /tablemodelview/list/ [GET]

Steps to reproduce

Just today, a co-worker reported a 500 internal server error running a query in SQL lab.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Attempting to fix the AttributeError issue by upgrading, I decided to upgrade but I have this no such column: dbs.impersonate_user issue now.

I upgraded following the steps here: https://superset.incubator.apache.org/installation.html#upgrading

pip install --upgrade superset
superset db upgrade
superset init

I did get some errors and warnings when running db upgrade.

The first error is usually you upgrading superset but forgiving to run the migrations to update the db. The second looks like something that should have been fixed by https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/3111

[bivav]

Can't locate revision identified by '4736ec66ce19' seems to point in the direction that your DB is further in change history than the repo. You’d have to either downgrade while the migration that’s stamped in the db exists in the release, or reset the db.

Could you please tell me how we can reset the db? ERROR [root] Error: Can't locate revision identified by afc69274c25a is really giving me hard time. I just want to reset it.

Were you able to fix it somehow ? I am facing the same issue @bivav

@BigDataArtist Well I did find that superset db resides in /home/user/.superset/db

Now I am not working on superset but when I had error I just deleted that db and initialized the db from beginning.
