V1.4.4 to 1.9.0 - Not upgrading although saying success?

[MBFTOM]

I have tried for a while to upgrade my NodeBB, but assumed there may have been a bug in the version levels.

However, seeing all other members have upgraded ok, I thought I would try again.

However, when I run ./Nodebb Upgrade, it only keeps trying to upgrade one of my plugins. Is this normal?
The plugin is for Registration Notification. I think the actual bug lies with this plugin, as I cannot un-install it.

-bash-4.1# ./nodebb upgrade

1. Bringing base dependencies up to date... OK
2. Checking installed plugins for updates... OK

A total of 1 package(s) can be upgraded:

• nodebb-plugin-registration-notification (1.1.0 -> 1.2.0)

Proceed with upgrade (y|n)? y

Upgrading packages... OK
3. Updating NodeBB data store schema...

Although it thinks the upgrade is complete... it's not.

If I try to manual uninstall the plugin:
-bash-4.1# ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-registration-notification"
4/5 17:42:17 [17260] - warn: You have no mongo password setup!
/opt/MYSERVER/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js:236
throw err
^

Could anyone advise me if it's me doing something wrong?

After trying via admin panel to Upgrade, it says it goes to 1.2.0

If i reload my forum, it then reverts!

In order to upgrade NodeBB, you have to run git fetch && git checkout v[target]

Then you can run ./nodebb upgrade to complete the process.

@pitaj said in V1.4.4 to 1.9.0 - Not upgrading although saying success?:

git fetch && git checkout v[target]

I have ran the following and got this:
-bash-4.1# git fetch && git checkout v[target]

Apologies if I have done it wrong, was I supposed to enter something inside the TARGET ?

Thanks for replying

I have now managed to upgrade from 1.4.0 to 1.4.6, but can't get any further.

Plugin issue has been resolved from deleting it on filezilla

Any ideas on going from 1.4.6 to 1.9?
