    To be safe, you really should run against test.sys.database_files

    The file name and info matches in sys.database_files, sys.master_files, sys.sysaltfiles and dbo.sysfiles...

    what is the recovery model of your database?

    We are in simple recovery and I ran a checkpoint before attempting to shrink the logs

    I would not expect it to give the error you see, but anyway the truncateonly option has no effect when applied to a log shrink

    I have used this script on other servers and been able to free up log space, what should be used?

    It's a puzzle, thanks for all your help so far 🙂

    I just always did this when needed:

    USE test

    DBCC SHRINKFILE(2,20)

    Since we already know that the fileid is 2, go ahead and try this.
