[nodebb-plugin-friends] Friends plugin seems not to be working

cleo

Hello!

I have installed the nodebb-plugin-friends and nodebb-plugin-write-api. I saw a friends in the dropdown from the burger icon in user profile,

but when I clicked this, its giving me an internal error and the route was in

http://localhost:4567/user/:uid/friends

All I did was install both of the plugins. Do I need to configure something in the write-api plugin dashboard for this to work? Can you help me with what I'm missing out?

Appreciate your help. Thank you very much!

Seems like the friends plugin needs to be updated to support latest nodebb. I will take a look.

Updated plugin to work with nodebb 1.11.0 and up.

@baris Thank you so much for your response.

I tried to your suggestion: Nodebb is now in version 1.11.2 and friends plugin is in 1.2.0

It's returning me a different error now which is "Page does not exist" when I went to

http://localhost:4567/user/:uid/friends

Do I need to set another page for this route?

Thanks again for the help.

If you did a restart and rebuild that should be it.

@baris I did your suggestion. Still not working.
Here's a screencast when I tried to rebuild and restart the forum: https://bit.ly/2LESyKU

Do you see the plugin as active and installed in the ACP? Can you also start nodebb with ./nodebb dev and share the output.

Thanks.

@baris
The plugin is active and installed in ACP, also tried to run it in ./nodebb dev.
Kindly review: https://bit.ly/2Zjesqv
Thanks so much

Seems like there is an error at startup. What other plugins do you have active? Try friends plugin without other custom plugins and see if it works.

Also you don't have to be on 1.11.2, I am testing it on latest nodebb and it's working fine.

Hello @baris ,

Tried out your suggestion of starting nodebb from scratch (with default plugins installed) and downgraded nodebb from 1.11.2 to 1.11.0 then use nodebb-plugin-friends, unfortunately, it still isn't working. Recorded a screenshot trying this process, kindly check here: https://bit.ly/304bBC5

I executed ./nodebb-dev and it gave me an error upon start (image below), could this be the reason why it isn't working?

Thanks again for your help!

Does it work on latest master and nodebb-plugin-friends 1.2.0?

@baris I'm on nodebb-plugin-friends 1.2.0, latest master and unfortunately, it doesn't
