[BUG] Stable interface compatibility check failed for canister

I’m using dfx 0.9.2 to deploy a canister to the local network twice without modifying it and get the following error:

Stable interface compatibility check failed for canister 'dao'.
Upgrade will either FAIL or LOSE some stable variable data.

/Users/moritz/projects/ic/flower-power-dao/fpd/.dfx/local/canisters/dao/dao.old.most:2.39-2.40: syntax error [M0001], unexpected token '/', expected one of token or <phrase> sequence:
  }
  <typ_args>?
  ; seplist(<typ_field>,<semicolon>)
  or <typ>
  . <id>
  -> <typ_nobin>
  and <typ>

Do you want to proceed? yes/No

I already deleted the .dfx folder and ran dfx start --clean, but this didn’t change anything.

The .most files are identical, I guess this error is due to some sort of bug?

// dao.old.most

Thanks for reporting this. We’re aware of the issue (a bug) and it should we fixed with moc 0.6.25.

This is another instance of the bug reported earlier here:

For now, if you are confident that you aren’t making any breaking changes, just click through and ignore the warning.

To add, this breaks my CI by giving a false positive. For now, I’m using the yes utility to pass yes to everything

yes "yes" | dfx deploy --network ic

But this can lead to state losing bugs as everything is allowed now

Thanks for posting … getting the same thing and with a “yes” it does the equivalent to an “reinstall” blowing away state data … hope this upvotes the patch … :slight_smile:

Hi guys i got this issue how can I fix this ?

WARNING!
Candid interface compatibility check failed for canister ‘jobs’.
You are making a BREAKING change. Other canisters or frontend clients relying on your canister may stop working.
Method create: func (Job) → (bool) is not a subtype of func (Job/1) → (bool)
Do you want to proceed? yes/No

Once i choose yes option canister is not working so how can I fix this ?
