The admin panel upgrade message is wrong

[Pilvinen]

"You are running NodeBB v0.1.0.
A new version (v0.7.2) has been released. Consider upgrading your NodeBB."

What the ...

[Scuzz]

You are probably on the latest master version instead of the correct stable version.

[Pilvinen]

I don't think so ... I followed the installation instructions and everything was fine until a couple of days ago and I haven't run upgrade or anything that could affect the version.

@Pilvinen Hm, it shows up correctly here...

A new version (v0.7.3) has been released. Consider upgrading your NodeBB.

[Pilvinen]

As of today I'm now seeing this:

You are running NodeBB v0.1.0.
A new version (v0.7.3) has been released. Consider upgrading your NodeBB.

It looks like it pulls that number directly from the package.json, but a careless plugin could overwrite it... maybe try disabling your plugins to see if that's the cause?

[julian]

@yariplus Or maybe he really is running NodeBB v0.1.0

[Pilvinen]

Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

But is the version number of any relevance?

Let's say I try to upgrade now with the wrong version number there - will this affect the upgrade process?

[Pilvinen]

I found this in the root level package.json:

"name": "nodebb-plugin-bbcode-to-markdown",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "NodeBB BBCode to Markdown Plugin",
"main": "library.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"

I suppose it does not belong there? Changing the 0.1.0 to 0.7.2 was reflected upon the Nodebb version shown in the menus.

[julian]

Err... that's quite weird. It should not overwrite NodeBB's package.json...
