upgrade from 0.5.0 to 0.5.1

meetdilip

Tried

./nodebb stop
gitpull
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start

At gitpull it throwed some errors and the whole upgrade ended up in a blank page on site as a result. Any idea what went wrong ?

No, you'd need to supply us with those errors.

Looks like the author of the "flip" theme needs to be contacted...

meetdilip

hmm. How to uinstall it then ?

npm rm nodebb-theme-flip

Edit: pinging @Tanner as I believe it's his theme.

Care give the command to be used. I am not very good at this.

git stash should be fine.
I'm assuming you're wanting to go to master branch?
If so,
git checkout master (If you want stable (recommended) then git checkout v0.5.x)
git pull
./nodebb upgrade
npm up
./nodebb restart

If you get any errors about plugins wanting certain versions of vanilla or lavender, then disable or uninstall them, then run upgrade/npm up again..

FWIW, there's no 0.5.1 branch, it's either 0.5.x or master, master includes the changes that were in 0.5.1, with some other nuances that may cause instability.

Thanks @a_5mith. Will try them.

I see this when trying to upgrade BitBangers, I dont know enough about git to bypass it myself.
This is stopping me from upgrading too.

mootzville

@meetdilip What's your output of git status?

EDIT: I'm guessing what has happened is maybe you manually modified some file(s) in your folder -- which is a git folder. git pull does several things. I'm not an expert, but among them it does git fetch & git merge and I'm not sure what else. Anyway, since you modified some files and it's trying to merge it can't because the file(s) are different. So, first you have to do a git status to see what's going on. Then, from the looks of the output you've already shown you'll have to do something with the npm-shrinkwrap.json file.

You can also try git diff which might give you some more info about what's different since you've already tried to git pull

Basically, git doesn't want to merge because it doesn't know which file(s) you want to keep...the one getting pulled in or the one you've modified. It could be something as simple as an extra space somewhere, or even just a different timestamp (I think) on the file.

Disclaimer: As I've already stated, I'm not an expert with git -- still learning it myself -- so this may not be exact.

meetdilip

Thanks @mootzville . Only changes I made are installing a few themes and plugins. I have not made any manual edit to any of the files as far as I can remember.

@meetdilip, open npm-shrinkwrap.json with a text editor and replace its content with the contents of this file.

After you've done that do a git add npm-shrinkwrap.json, git commit -am "updated files" and git push and things should be working.

That just means that the public/google-adsense.config.json isn't being tracked by git (it isn't under source control). Most likely that file was added by some NodeBB plugin.

You can either add it to the git repo using git add pulic/google-adsense.config.json and then git commit -am "added adsense config file" and git push to update the remote repository, or ignore that message.
