Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions for the cloud compiler and CLI.

401 Unauthorized

Your session may have expired (sessions last 7 days). Re-authenticate:

quickback logout
quickback login

Compilation timeout

Large projects may take longer to compile. The cloud compiler uses Cloudflare Containers to run compilation in isolated environments. If you hit timeouts, try running the compiler locally.

"Command not found: quickback"

Make sure the CLI is installed globally:

npm install -g @kardoe/quickback

Or use npx:

npx @kardoe/quickback create cloudflare my-app

Compile errors

  1. Check your quickback.config.ts exists and is valid
  2. Ensure all tables in quickback/features/ have valid exports
  3. Run quickback compile with --verbose for detailed output

Drizzle rename prompts in CI/headless compile

If compilation fails with an interactive Drizzle message like:

  • drizzle-kit requested interactive rename input, but Quickback compile is running headless
  • Missing rename hint for table/column ...

then add explicit rename hints in quickback.config.ts:

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  compiler: {
    migrations: {
      renames: {
        tables: {
          events_v2: "events",
        },
        columns: {
          events: {
            summary_text: "summary",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

tables and columns mappings are always new_name -> old_name.

If a hint is missing, compile now fails loudly with the exact key path to add, for example:

  • Expected hint key: compiler.migrations.renames.tables["events_v2"]
  • Expected hint key: compiler.migrations.renames.columns["events"]["summary_text"]

"Could not load organizations"

This can happen if your session token expired or if the API is temporarily unavailable. Re-login:

quickback logout
quickback login
