Wtf? Upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and all my plugins were uninstalled...

[Michael Pfaff]

That sucks. Just thought y'all should know.

No idea how that happened. Re-installing them now.

[Michael Pfaff]

Welp. To make matters weirder, now any time I install a new plugin, it deletes previous plugins.

i.e. I installed Recent Cards. Great. Works fine. Then, I install SendGrid and it deletes Recent Cards.

No obvious issues in log:

Err, that's really weird! That definitely shouldn't happen and is not anything we've done with NodeBB.

Did you perchance upgrade Node.js at the same time? Instead of using the ACP to download and install plugins, try using npm i pluginName, does it still happen then?

I have upgraded Node.js recently, but it was working perfect on NodeBB v1.5.1? My Node version is v8.2.1.

[Michael Pfaff]

@julian said in Wtf? Upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and all my plugins were uninstalled...:

Yup. That also deletes my other plugin.

I had SendGrid Emailer installed, installed Recent Cards via npm and now SendGrid is gone.

What's the best way to rollback NodeBB to 1.5.2 (or, 1.5.1 if that is acting up also?).

[Michael Pfaff]

Maybe this has something to do with it?

When I try to checkout v1.5.2 or v1.5.1 I get this error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
        package.json
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

[Michael Pfaff]

@julian My plugins are still gone, but I ran ./nodebb upgrade again and now it seems to be installing the plugins correctly without deleting others.

[Michael Pfaff]

Er. Maybe not. Deleting plugins still. Dangit.

[Michael Pfaff]

Do you know what this error might be?

4/8 01:20:08 [5535] - error: /login

Keeps reappearing and I've never noticed it before.

nodejs 8 isn't officially supported, maybe try with 6.x

[Michael Pfaff]

@baris said in Wtf? Upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and all my plugins were uninstalled...:

Gotcha! Let me try downgrading nodejs.

[Michael Pfaff]

@baris said in Wtf? Upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and all my plugins were uninstalled...:

That did it. Used nvm to downgrade to v6.x and worked like a charm. Thanks so much!

[pichalite]

@michael-pfaff I have seen these issue when using nodejs 8. Not with NodeBB but with other app. Seems to be issues with npm on nodejs v8.

Yup. Downgrading resolved the issue. Very much appreciate the help!

[julian]

Good call @baris

[PitaJ]

It's due to how npm@5 works.

[Normando]

The same as 8 with nodejs 7.10

[PitaJ]

npm install npm@4 -g should also fix this issue
