The following happens when upgrading 1.5.5a to 2.3.

InvalidArgumentException: Table 'xf_job' does not exist so cannot be altered in src/XF/Db/Schema/Alter.php at line 39

XF\Db\Schema\Alter->__construct() in src/XF/Db/SchemaManager.php at line 231

Upgrading the same forum to XenForo 2.2.5 does work correctly, so that's the intermediate solution I used. It's not ideal for most users, obviously.
 
To go from 1.5 to 2.3 can be very problematic. Now that your on 2.2.5? (2.2.16 PL2 is the latest version), here is a great guide on upgrading to XF 2.3 though it looks like you do not need it...

XF 2.3 Thread '[GUIDE] Upgrading from XenForo 2.2 to XenForo 2.3 Guide'

Because a lot of people are running into issues which are probably often related to add-ons, I thought about posting a simple guide how I successfully upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.

Upgrading your XenForo installation from version 2.2 to 2.3 involves some careful planning and execution. If you're just gonna hit the upgrade button without any research, you're bound to run into issues. This guide will walk you through the entire process to ensure a smooth transition.

Still stuck on upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3. Only using the country flags add-on, which is compatible with 2.3. I guess I'll stick with 2.2 until all the upgrade issues are resolved.
 
Interesting to have found this thread and that it's recent, I'm encountering the exact same issue upgrading from 1.5.24 to the latest 2.3. What is the solution? Upgrading to a lower version? I tried this earlier but it told me there was a more recent update and to use that.

You kind of need to report your own issue separately and post what issues (error messages, what actually is happening) you are having. Nobody can give you a solution without know what errors you are facing. Good to include your server config and PHP version too.

I am having this exact issue verbatim. It is the exact same stack trace. There is no xf_job table in 1.5.24

I agree, I should have phrased that better.
To upgrade from 1.5 to 2.3 may take careful planning and multiple steps... ;)

Update:
Upgrading 1.5.24 to 2.2.5 and then 2.3.0 works. This does seem to be a bug in the most recent version however as it's not able to upgrade from Xenforo 1

Glad you successfully upgraded and developed an operation using multiple steps. :)

We'll get this sorted for the next release. In the meantime upgrading to 2.2 first should be fine, or you can replace \XF\Install\Upgrader::syncJobStructure with:

PHP: 
public function syncJobStructure(): void
{
    $sm = $this->db()->getSchemaManager();

    if (!$sm->tableExists('xf_job'))
    {
        return;
    }

    $sm->alterTable('xf_job', function (Alter $table) use ($sm)
    {
        if (!$sm->columnExists('xf_job', 'attempts'))
        {
            $table->addColumn('attempts', 'tinyint', 3)->setDefault(0);
        }
        if (!$sm->columnExists('xf_job', 'priority'))
        {
            $table->addColumn('priority', 'smallint', 5)->setDefault(100);
            $table->addKey(['priority', 'trigger_date'], 'priority_execute_date');
        }
    });
}
 
Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.3.3).

Change log:
Check if job table exists before attempting to sync structure

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
