I have migrated controllers, services and router files.

api/activity/routes/activity.js

const { createCoreRouter } = require("@strapi/strapi").factories;
module.exports = createCoreRouter("api::activity.activity");

api/activity/controllers/activity.js

const { createCoreController } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
module.exports = createCoreController('api::activity.activity');

api/activity/services/activity.js

const { createCoreService } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
module.exports = createCoreService('api::activity.activity');

schema.json

{
    "kind": "collectionType",
    "collectionName": "activities",
    "info": {
      "singularName": "activity",
      "pluralName": "activities",
      "displayName": "Activity",
      "name": "activity"
    },
    "options": {
      "increments": true,
      "timestamps": true,
      "draftAndPublish": true
    },
    "attributes": {
      "mobile": {
        "type": "media",
        "allowedTypes": [
          "images"
        ],
        "multiple": false,
        "required": false
      },
      "desktop": {
        "type": "media",
        "allowedTypes": [
          "images"
        ],
        "multiple": false,
        "required": false
      },
      "name": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "activity_types": {
        "type": "relation",
        "relation": "manyToMany",
        "target": "api::activity-type.activity-type",
        "mappedBy": "activities"
      }
    }
  }

I have already tried by deleting node_modules, yarn.lock, build, .cache but no luck yet

can you share your schema file for activity.

@Meher_Chandan I have updated the schema file in the question

Sorry folks, there was an api in which schema file was missing. Removing that fixed the issue

Hi Gajanand, I migrated from strapi 3 to 4 and I can see the content but have same issue as you and getting same error message. Were you able to find a solution?

The solution for me was to add a missing record to the strapi_core_store_settings table, this is what was missing
‘76’, ‘plugin_i18n_default_locale’, ‘“en”’, ‘string’, NULL, NULL

After adding this record it worked.

Hi Sujay, I am getting this same error but all my schema.file for all content-types. Do you know the workaround for this error. I am struggling for 3 days.

I’ve been battling with this issue for 2 days. Finally fixed it and decided to help others whose source of issue might be similar to mine.

If you have a TS project, ensure your tsconfig.json is properly configured. Especially the include array. I tinkered with mine and didn’t realise I bricked Strapi.
