Wtf? Upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and all my plugins were uninstalled...

[Michael Pfaff]

Maybe this has something to do with it?

When I try to checkout v1.5.2 or v1.5.1 I get this error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
        package.json
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

@julian My plugins are still gone, but I ran ./nodebb upgrade again and now it seems to be installing the plugins correctly without deleting others.

[Michael Pfaff]

Er. Maybe not. Deleting plugins still. Dangit.

[Michael Pfaff]

Do you know what this error might be?

4/8 01:20:08 [5535] - error: /login
 invalid csrf token

Keeps reappearing and I've never noticed it before.

nodejs 8 isn't officially supported, maybe try with 6.x

Gotcha! Let me try downgrading nodejs.

That did it. Used nvm to downgrade to v6.x and worked like a charm. Thanks so much!

@michael-pfaff I have seen these issue when using nodejs 8. Not with NodeBB but with other app. Seems to be issues with npm on nodejs v8.

Yup. Downgrading resolved the issue. Very much appreciate the help!

Good call @baris

[PitaJ]

It's due to how npm@5 works.

[Normando]

The same as 8 with nodejs 7.10

[PitaJ]

npm install npm@4 -g should also fix this issue
