Usually when I get issues like this, I have to do an npm cache clean and then an npm install or npm rebuild

codejet

for some reason my ./nodebb upgrade script after git pull missed a ton of modules

leksar

trying to update, but npm i shows me that

Tried to do npm unlink nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone and npm unlink nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui, but the result is the same. Any ideas ?

codejet

try npm uninstall nodebb-theme-vanilla and then reinstall it again, it might install the version that satisfies the dependancy.

Save changes made to vanilla too if need be

leksar

same result

codejet

@leksar try run ./nodebb upgrade
paste error from th@ ?

sounds like unlinking those plugins did nothing.

I'm out of idea's but that was why it was complaining, maybe uninstall them if they aren't vital

I dont use shoutbox or that other thingo

leksar

@Codejet said:

I'm not using them too, just tried for some time. The weird thing is that even uninstalling doesn't help. I would remove them manually, if there is a way.

julian

@leksar Remove them from node_modules/ is the most manual way

Whenever the peer dependency error comes up, I just purge every module it mentions, and then run npm i

leksar

ok, so i restored my forum from a backup
removed all unnecessary plugins by ACP (including spam-be-gone and ifsta-ui)
checked that there was no plugin foldes in node_modules/
restarted forum and checked it works well

then:

sudo git checkout v0.7.x
sudo git fetch
sudo git reset --hard origin/v0.7.x
sudo npm i

there was no more warnings, but the errors still exists

looks like the "links" are stored somethere else

Hm. Perhaps some of the modules were installed globally.

$ npm unl -g nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui
$ npm i nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui   # not globally this time!

No need to run npm commands as sudo. In fact, it's actively discouraged.

Delete your node_modules/ folder again, and then run npm i as the leksar user.

drew

Providing you've not done anything insane like edit things inside node_modules directly, or added packages without saving them in your package.json then a quick fix for this stuff is to do:

./nodebb stop
rm -rf node_modules #to remove your entire node_modules folder to start again
npm install #to install all your stuff from scratch
./nodebb config #to setup your database driver install

(press enter a lot on the config to use the same options as you already had installed)

./nodebb start
./nodebb log

leksar

I think I get it

leksar

Ok, problem is solved. The reason is my stupidity.
What we see on logs as "nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui" is not what it seems.
Month or two ago i manually copied folder nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui, renamed it and changed some strings in package.json, so it appered in ACP as separate theme which I was working on lately. So, after the removal of the theme update goes smoothly.

Shame on me, thanks for your help and sorry for your time
Now, all what i need is to learn how to add my own theme properly.
