dove

Same problem happens to me. Clicking on "Register" link in navigation results in error message "Error
Converting circular structure to JSON". Using latest from github

Thanks for reporting.

passing req to fireHook causes circular reference · Issue #1540 · NodeBB/NodeBB

I think this was added recently for the filter:register:build hook. https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/blob/master/src/controllers/index.js#L210 https://community.nodebb.org/topic/1525/typeerror-converting-circular-structure-to-j...

Ok, so... is this fixed? I'm a bit confused because both issues are closed.

https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/issues/1540 is open, so not fixed.

@baris Hmm, okay. I guess I misread the labels. >.<

Until #1540 is resolved, and if you are on master branch, please either downgrade to v0.4.x branch, or use the following stable(-er) hash: 6ec36a00ad7828041346f55013374f2eee579480

git reset --hard 6ec36a00ad7828041346f55013374f2eee579480

Switching to the hash version given, fixes it. Thanks.

In my case, the given hash does not seem to fix the problem

Or am I doing something wrong? I entered git reset --hard 6ec36a00ad7828041346f55013374f2eee579480, then git pull(?) and lastly ./nodebb upgrade

julian

@markkus Just run the git reset command. If you run git pull and ./nodebb upgrade, you'll just bring yourself right back up to the latest (unstable) commit!

This is fixed on latest master btw.
