Scratch Org Creation Error with sfdx

Question

I am getting below error when trying to create scratch org.

No such column 'Settings' on sobject of type ScratchOrgInfo.

Here is my org definition json file -

{
    "orgName": "offer",
    "edition": "Enterprise",
    "features": ["Communities"],
    "settings": {
        "orgPreferenceSettings": {
            "s1DesktopEnabled": true,
            "networksEnabled": true,
            "enableLiveAgent": true
        },
        "nameSettings": {
            "enableMiddleName": true,
            "enableNameSuffix": true
        }
    }
}

Command I am running -

sfdx force:org:create -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a SO6 -v ConsumerProd

Any idea why I am getting this error?

Answer 1

The structure looks correct to me.

Googling the full message produces a few matches including this Is it possible to test new Scratch Org Settings before Winter 19 is released to Production? that relates to before Winter '19 being GA so probably isn't the problem. But it does suggest that the error is coming from your Dev Hub org so log in to that and check that all looks OK. See e.g. Manage Scratch Orgs from Dev Hub.

Your JSON Structure is not proper, You have to remove the settings key

{
    "orgName": "offer",
    "edition": "Enterprise",
    "features": ["Communities"],
     "orgPreferenceSettings": {
            "s1DesktopEnabled": true,
            "networksEnabled": true,
            "enableLiveAgent": true,
            "enabled":["enableMiddleName","enableNameSuffix"]
        }
}

I updated my cli version and after that it started working.
