Can't trigger server event

[spaghetti1337]

I'm trying to trigger server event:
 

---server side ---

function removePlayerVehicle(player, vehicle)
    local playerID 
    if isElement(player) then
        playerID = getElementData(player, "acc:id")
    elseif tonumber(player) then
        playerID = tonumber(player)
    end
    
    local vehicleID
    if isElement(vehicle) then
        vehicleID = getElementData(vehicle, "veh:id")
    elseif tonumber(vehicle) then
        vehicleID = tonumber(vehicle)
    end
    
    if playerID >= 1 then
        if ownerCache[playerID] then
            local data = ownerCache[playerID]
            for k,v in pairs(data) do
                if v == vehicleID then
                    table.remove(ownerCache[playerID], k)
                    return true
                end
            end
        end
    end
        
    return false
end
addEvent("removePlayerVehicle", true)
addEventHandler("removePlayerVehicle", root, removePlayerVehicle)

--- client side ---

triggerServerEvent("removePlayerVehicle", localPlayer, vehicle)

Error: Client (player) triggered serverside event removePlayerVehicle, but event is not added serverside

Also I tried to replace triggerServerEvent with exports:

exports['vehicle']:removePlayerVehicle(localPlayer, vehicle)

--- meta.xml ---
 

<export function="removePlayerVehicle" type="shared"></export>

Error: call: failed to call 'vehicle:removePlayerVehicle' [string "?"]

1) Is there any error inside the server or client debug console when starting your resource?

2) What is the content of your meta.xml file for the triggerServerEvent version?

NOTE: shared does not mean synchronized, but that the export rule is applied to both clientside and serverside or the script is available on both ends.

1, no errors

2, 

<script src="server.lua" type="server" cache="false"></script>

This issue is really strange. I doubt that the client script is starting faster than the serverside script. Could you send me the complete resource so that I could take a look?

I re-created the resource and now works fine but I still don't know what was the problem... but at least it works now, lol - but thanks your replies and time again

I had a similar issue on my local machine in the past. For some unknown reason the server wasn't ready yet to receive the event, when the client triggered a server event immediately. Not sure if that is going on with this script but clientside looks kinda empty. So I wouldn't consider it to be impossible.

That looks unusual. While it may look intuitive that the script will execute on server before executing on client, I guess there's no guarantee it will be that way, so it looks like a race condition. But I would expect onClientResourceStart to get triggered after everything has been set up on the server so it's better to do this kind of communication from that event.
