I’m migrating my strapi from v3 to v4 and I got this problem

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach')

I did update the controllers and the services. I did try to delete node_modules and JSON lock file and then run the npm install again, sadly it didn’t work.

Here is my controllers:

const { createCoreController } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;

module.exports = createCoreController('api::group.group');

Here is my routes:

const { createCoreRouter } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;

module.exports = createCoreRouter('api::group.group');

Here is my service:

const { createCoreService } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;

module.exports = createCoreService('api::group.group');

Here is my content-type:

{
  "kind": "collectionType",
  "collectionName": "group",
  "info": {
    "singularName": "group",
    "pluralName": "groups",
    "displayName": "Group",
    "name": "Group"
  },
  "options": {
    "increments": true,
    "timestamps": true
  },
  "attributes": {
    "project": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "manyToOne",
      "target": "api::project.project",
      "inversedBy": "groups"
    },
    "users": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "manyToMany",
      "target": "plugin::users-permissions.user",
      "inversedBy": "groups"
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    "categories": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "manyToMany",
      "target": "api::category.category",
      "inversedBy": "groups"
    },
    "meetings": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "manyToMany",
      "target": "api::meeting.meeting",
      "mappedBy": "groups"
    },
    "googledocouidshared": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "googledocouid": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "documents": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "oneToMany",
      "target": "api::googledocument.googledocument",
      "mappedBy": "group"
    }
  }

I had file named 01-custom-policy.js inside routes directory (which I had included to test policies). Upon removal this issue got resolved.

Just see if you have some redundant files & remove them.

I got the same issue with a new strapi project.

can you please tell if you know anything about the TODO comment in the following screenshot

I use Vim and had an invisible .swp file within the routes directory which caused this issue. Check for invisible files if you’re also seeing this error

I would suggest you to check controller, router,and service s files. if appropriate code is written.

Easier way: Put Console log in for each and you will find an exact space where issue occurs in your modified files.
console.log(’’,api.routes);
Where ever error occurs you see like below:
{ ‘article’: [Function (anonymous)] }
