Piece metadata not found Error

Hi,

When trying to access the frontend, we are encountering a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error. Upon checking the logs since yesterday, we noticed the following issue: Piece metadata not found.

I have attached the log file for your reference. Could someone guide us on how to resolve this issue?


Thank you!

Hi @Bharathan

Are you self hosting Activepieces? if yes please include which version and do you have custom pieces installed?

Hi @abuaboud

Yes, we are self-hosting Activepieces and currently using version 0.28.0. we have installed custom pieces.

I ran into the same issue before, and in my case, it was because the custom piece wasn’t properly built or the folder structure was off. Double-check that you’ve run the build command inside the piece directory and that your metadata files are correctly placed.

I’ve also been experimenting with some automation setups using www.blueberry-ai.com, and keeping everything cleanly organized really made a difference.
