<@U06TM7M40RK> Datahub version in the web UI is null (under the user profile section). How do I fix this?

The issue of the DataHub version appearing as “null” in the web UI under the user profile section has been reported by other users as well. According to a <Issues · datahub-project/datahub · GitHub issue>, this problem can occur when starting a fresh DataHub instance using certain configurations, such as docker-compose-without-neo4j.yml.

To address this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check Environment Variables: Ensure that the environment variables DATAHUB_VERSION and ACTIONS_VERSION are set correctly. In the reported issue, setting these to specific values like head caused the version to appear as null. You might want to try setting them to a specific version number instead.

  2. Docker Configuration: If you are using Docker, make sure that you are using the correct Docker Compose files and that all services are healthy before accessing the UI.

  3. Version Consistency: Ensure that the version of the DataHub UI matches the backend services. This can sometimes be a source of inconsistency if different components are running different versions.

  4. Reinstallation: As a last resort, you might consider completely uninstalling and reinstalling DataHub to ensure that all components are correctly configured and up-to-date.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to check the <https://datahubspace.slack.com|DataHub Slack community> for additional support or updates on this issue.
