Have you tried npm install command to install dependencies as stated by phenomlab on Sudonix website?

phenomlab

@nhl-pl @dave1904 yes, this is how I resolved it for @cagatay.

I did
npm install [email protected] --force
but

"No matching version found for [email protected]"

Can you tell me which steps you did for your install of sharp?

EDIT: npm install fixed it for me. thanks @phenomlab

For whatever it is worth

I had to run a "rebuild & restart" in the ACP after upgrade from 3.5.0 > 3.6.1, for the ACP to register the 3.6.1 version, it was still alerting me to update to 3.61 from 3.5.0

I also got this error at the end of upgrading (before running the ACP rebuild-restart) post ./nodebb start command:

Error: kill EPERM

However the NodeBB install appears to work

Hi @baris

Thanks for opening this topic.

I am currently running v.2.8.1 and need to upgrade to the latest (v3.6.3).

I plan to shut down my current VM and choose a different provider. I will be taking a dump from the current MongoDB and backing up public uploads so I can connect the same DB with v3.6.3.

I did some reading but could not find anything that says that there is any discrepancy between a v2.x db and a v3.x db. Neither have I had a chance to perform this on a test server yet so was wondering to perform the upgrade as above in a totally new VM whether I need to:

Install my current version on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads, and then upgrade that to v3.6.3
Install v3.6.3 in one go on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads

Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks

<baris>

@yasas that should work, during the upgrade to 3.x there will be some scripts that will update the schema for some keys.

yasas

Hi @baris
Thanks for the response.

Install my current version on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads, and then upgrade that to v3.6.3
* Install v3.6.3 in one go on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads

Do you mean that instead of installing v3.6.3 straightaway and restoring the DB dump (dumped from v2.8.1 earlier), it would be wiser to install v2.8.1 on a new VM, restore the db dump, and then upgrade to V3.6.3?

PitaJ

@yasas you should be able to install v3.6.3 right away and then just run ./nodebb upgrade first thing.

<baris>

Yeah no need to install your current version, the upgrade process will take care of running the scripts.

yasas

@baris @PitaJ Got it.

So basically the idea is to install v3.6.3 right away, point to the db (with the restored dump) during config, run ./nodebb upgrade and all done yeah?

<baris>

Yeah you can just copy your old config.json in and run ./nodebb upgrade as well

yasas

@baris Perfect. Thanks very much for clarifying!

Sebastián Cisneros

@baris I had 3.6.5 installed, no problem. All other updates from that version up, break my website. updating to 3.6.6 works. 3.6.7 breaks my install.
upgrade does not report any problem
Build does not report any problem,
nodebb dev gets stucked

the nodebb updates comparison here
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/compare/v3.6.5...v3.6.7
I've noticed that if I undo the updates on src/plugins/hooks.js the nodebb starts to work again.
Any idea what can I do on my custom theme/plugins to fix it?

Sounds like you have plugin or theme that has a static hook that is using a callback and not calling it properly. Check your custom plugins/themes and make sure their static hooks use this pattern. That hook is for static:app.load

Sebastián Cisneros

@baris thanks for the help. I'm going through all the static: hooks used in custom theme and plugins, and noticed some difference on how some of them are coded. Maybe this is the problem? some have like a next() or callback() function at the end. Can this be the issue? I see that the example you show to me doesn't have the callback / next function at the end.

example one (not calling callback)

{ "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "init" },
plugin.init = async function (data) {
	const controllers = require('./controllers');
	SocketPlugins.composer = socketMethods;

	data.router.get('/admin/plugins/composer-default', data.middleware.admin.buildHeader, controllers.renderAdminPage);
	data.router.get('/api/admin/plugins/composer-default', controllers.renderAdminPage);
};

example two (calling callback)

{ "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "init" },
exports.init = ({ router, middleware }, callback) => {
  router.get('/admin/plugins/cdn', middleware.admin.buildHeader, renderAdmin);
  router.get('/api/admin/plugins/cdn', renderAdmin);

  router.get('/api/admin/plugins/cdn/save', (req, res, next) => {
    setObject('plugin_cdn:settings', JSON.parse(req.query.settings), (err) => {
      if (err) {
        next(err);
        return;
      }

      res.sendStatus(200);
    });
  });

  callback();
};
