Try stopping NodeBB then running ./nodebb upgrade

./nodebb upgrade

I did upgrading (got two warnings: in entrypoint size limit and asset size limit). But there is no result: the list is empty.

by the way:

@kadmy any errors in the server logs?

this is also a problem that @cagatay has encountered with v2 upgrade...

Before 2.0.X, there was already a problem with the plugin list, I guess it might be related:

Plugins not listed in 1.19.5

The plugin listing appears for a short time and then instantly disappears in 1.19.5. If you go to /admin/extend/plugins#download, it appears like this: Ther...

@crazycells Yes, exactly the same problem! "The plugin listing appears for a short time (≈0.1sec) and then instantly disappears"

When I load "/admin/extend/plugins#download" no errors occur, neither in syslog, nor in dmseg, nor in journalctl

Here is nodebb.log:

What other errors could I try to find and where?

[PitaJ]

@kadmy anything in your browser log?

@kadmy anything in your browser log?

Please look at our chat where I placed the link to my HAR file.

[PitaJ]

@kadmy I have no idea what a HAR is. I meant the console in your browser developer tools.

[kadmy]

@PitaJ, I don't know... that's all the console contains at that moment:

[PitaJ]

@kadmy looks like you're on the "find plugins" tab. Do the other tabs behave the same?

[kadmy]

@PitaJ, when switching the tabs, absolutely nothing happens in the console:

here I try to install the nodebb-plugin-poll plugin:

[PitaJ]

@kadmy wait so you can access those other tabs fine. What is the problem you're having? You can't search for or install plugins?

[kadmy]

@PitaJ Yes, I can't this. I have the problem with the "find plugins" tab only. Sorry I didn't phrase the question accurately.

[PitaJ]

Ah, ok. What happens if you type in the "search for plugins" box?

[kadmy]

@PitaJ, Nothing. Neither on the panel for plugins, nor in the browser console - nothing changes.

[kadmy]

It seems I have solved the problem. I did stopping NodeBB then installing NVM, then installing latest Node (18.4.0 against 16.x.x before), and running "./nodebb build".
After restartng NodeBB works fine vith the plugin-searching.

Thank you very much for your time and participation, dear @PitaJ

@kadmy glad you got it working. We'll have to investigate to see if we can reproduce with node 16
