Plugin page returns 404 but searchable in Search for Settings

RogerLevy

I've been trying to use nodebb-plugin-import on our live forum after successfully importing on localhost but I've been running into these issues. (Both sites are 1.8.2)

First, the plugin is not found by Install Plugins > Search, so I npm install it. Then activate and rebuild.

It's not showing up under Plugins, and going directly to plugins/import returns a 404, but it does show up if I search for it in the Admin settings search box, it returns several settings on the plugin's page!

Already tried deleting and re-installing the forum, no change.

Make sure the plugin is saved to package.json

Make sure the plugin is actually installed with npm ls nodebb-plugin-import

Does the plugin not show up in the list in the ACP, or does it just not show up in the menus?

RogerLevy

I used --save and it is in package.json. It is in the list in ACP, but not in the menus.
npm ls nodebb-plugin-import returns

@rogerlevy I can explain why it shows up in search: the search index is built from the templates during the build step.

Anyways, it's a weird issue. Are there any errors in the logs?

RogerLevy

No errors in the logs after clearing them, stopping nodebb, rebuilding and restarting.

If I try to build while nodebb it's running, nodebb build hangs after completing 8/9 of the tasks and I have to CTRL+C out. Nothing is added to the log , if it's supposed to.

RogerLevy

Also no errors thrown trying to visit the Import page except for the 404 returned by the server.

Can you post the output of ./nodebb build?
