Upgrade from v1.19.x to v2.0.x failed

whuut

Hi,

we are trying to upgrade our v1.17.2 instance to the latest version.
Going to v1.19.x worked fine, but v2.0.x caused some major issues.

We could resolve most of the issues by:

./nodebb reset -p nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended
./nodebb reset -p nodebb-plugin-emoji-one
./nodebb reset -p nodebb-plugin-custom-file-extensions
./nodebb reset -p nodebb-plugin-composer-redactor
./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-emoji
./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-composer-default

But the build still fails with 2 errors:

ERROR in ./build/public/src/modules/jquery.form.min.js.map 1:10
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:10)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders

and

These are the plugins we use:

I already tried to reinstall the pulling module, for example, and manually install all its dev dependencies, but it did not help:

npm install rollup rollup-plugin-typescript rollup-plugin-uglify tslint tslint-config-airbnb typescript uglifyjs

The forum itself works, but none of the links in the admin UI work. There are no errors in the web console - simply nothing happens when you click on a link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: we are using Ubuntu 22.04 with Node.js v20.11.1 and NPM 10.2.4.

Thanks and best regards,
Tobi

maybe you can reset your plugins and try ./nodebb upgrade again?

whuut

Thank you for the reply.

I already did that. I only forgot to mention, sorry.

Coming from v1.19.x I did:

git fetch
git checkout v2.0.x
git reset --hard origin/v2.0.x
./nodebb reset -a # I even did reset everything
./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-composer-default
./nodebb activate nodebb-theme-persona
./nodebb build
./nodebb upgrade

Same two errors. Any other ideas?

Best regards,
Tobi

Might be better to try going to the last stable version of 2.x which is 2.8.17, also you don't need the ./nodebb build before ./nodebb upgrade. ./nodebb upgrade needs to run npm install to upgrade all the dependencies first so the build will probably fail if it runs before that.

whuut

I also did that. That was my very first attempt, lazily going from v1.x -> v2.x -> v3.x.

$ git checkout v2.x
Already on 'v2.x'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/v2.x'.

$ git reset --hard origin/v2.x
HEAD is now at dc14d6a8d1 chore: up version

$ ./nodebb upgrade

Same two errors and all links in the admin backend do not work.

@whuut can you just upgrade to v3 and update everything to the latest and see if the errors are still there?

whuut

Yes, the errors are still there with v3.x.

I even deleted the build/ and node_modules/ directories because I thought there might be outdated files in there. But that didn't help.

However, since the MongoDB schema upgrades were successful during the ./nodebb upgrade runs, I was able to complete the upgrade by doing a fresh git install and copying back the old config.json before running the setup routine. I then manually restored all the static files in public/uploads via rsync.
