browser console errors after v1.6.0 upgrade

teh_g

Being an early adopter, I upgraded to NodeBB 1.6.0 since I saw it was released. My forums seem pretty borked now. I can get to the main page, but I can't view categories or navigate anywhere in the admin panel. This seems to be tied to some console errors.

Edit: Link to my site for the curious: https://gamingexodus.com

Here are the errors when I got to the category page:

No errors in the NodeBB log though.

@julian

Something is definitely broken. I disabled some of the security options I have in nginx, hoping it was tied to that, but no luck.

Any idea why some of these errors are occurring?

julian

That's a little odd... Are you using CloudFlare or some other CDN?

CloudFlare. I cleared the cache on their edge networks. Let me try disabling "the orange cloud".

I also was wondering if "/assets/templates/modules/taskbar.jst" should be taskbar.js?

Edit: same error with CloudFlare's special sauce disabled.

julian

Did you run ./nodebb build after upgrading, just in case?

@julian said in browser console errors after v1.6.0 upgrade:

I did do that, hoping it was something getting missed in the build. Still the same issue on my page.

julian

Just for debugging, try to disable all of your plugins via the command line... Perhaps there's a third party plugin not playing nicely

Is there a bulk way to do it or is it all manually?

teh_g

I didn't have a ton enabled. I disabled a lot of plugins, and am still seeing the errors.

It seems like it has something to do with the MIME type for the taskbar.jst, which causes a cascade of failures?

julian

The main thing is that not happening on any of our environments... Which usually suggests some sort of customisation or configuration could be to blame.

Nginx config?

Nginx config?

I commented out the security headers and reloaded nginx, but that didn't seem to change anything.

Try without http2?

Same result.

The MIME type errors are probably the cause. The only thing I can think of is that node is sending the wrong content type for the jst files?

julian

We'll have to wait for @PitaJ to speak to that

For some reason disabling add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; works now. BUT, why did this change with v1.6.0? I'd greatly prefer to keep that option enabled for security purposes.

teh_g

Ahhhhh, so disabling it in nginx is great and all, but Cloudflare had it on too, so it took a little bit for the changes to propagate once I turned off the Cloudflare proxy.

Anywho, this seems like a defect to me. There was some change in the MIME settings.

julian

@teh_g definitely something we should look into, can you send us the issue details on GitHub?

A better solution for nginx is this, which sets the content type for .jst to application/javascript

types {
  application/javascript jst;
}

You can either put this in the /assets... location block if you have one, or just anywhere in the server block.

I'm working on setting this content type in NodeBB as well, I'm tracking it with this issue: NodeBB/NodeBB#5934

Thanks @PitaJ

Modified the block below to add your suggestion:

        location ~ ^/assets/(.*) {
                root /var/www/nodebb/forums/;
                try_files /build/public/$1 /public/$1 @nodebb;
                types {
                        application/javascript jst;
                }
        }

It caused a lot of strange display errors. I'll just leave the strict enforcement off for now and wait for the fix to be in NodeBB... It looks like everything is coming down as application/octet-stream?

The X-Content-Type-Options response HTTP header is a marker used by the server to indicate that the MIME types advertised in the Content-Type headers should not be changed and be followed. This allows to opt-out of MIME type sniffing, or, in other words, it is a way to say that the webmasters knew what they were doing.

... :trollface: (emphasis mine)

As @pitaj issued it, we'll track its fix, but as X-Content-Type-Options is not likely to be used extensively, there's no need to prioritise this issue for backport into v1.6.x. However when resolved, you can easily cherry-pick the fix into your existing installation.
