nodebb-plugin-write-api failing to load admin page

[tin]

Hi,

I am running NodeBB v1.4.2 fronted by NginX and trying to play with the write-api plugin. I installed the plugin following the instructions from https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api restarted NodeBB, activated the plugin and restarted NodeBB again.

I can see a new entry in the Plugins menu saying "Write API". Please see image:

However, when I clicked on "Write API", it led to a non-existing page:

I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance!

try to reload -> restart.

Thank you @Iamt2a. I tried all those, but no luck so far .

./nodebb build, not rebuild.

Hi @julian,

Do I need to rerun nodebb build each time I install a plugin outside of the UI? I was hesitant because I thought since the build script changes the state of the db, there is a chance I might lose data. Should I back up my db each time before I run nodebb build?

Thank you!

@tin The build process does not touch the database at all

Thanks @julian! Works now. Seems like we'll have to rerun build each time we npm install a new plugin
