Installing nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone crashes server

Run npm install [email protected], then try again.

Problem solved. Any idea how I overshot the compatible release? I thought version restrictions were added to NodeBB plugins a few months ago.

[a_5mith]

@Guiri Not sure, i suspected it might be an issue with the dependency, but it's not even a dependency of 0.5.x. So only thing I can think of is it's just downloaded @latest, rather than the correct one. But, don't know how.

[Scuzz]

I have the same issue.

[a_5mith]

@Scuzz Exactly the same error code? What version of NodeBB & SBG plugin you running?

[bentael]

@Guiri actually, use [email protected] instead of [email protected] I backported a critical fix not too long ago.

What happened was that you installed the latest, [email protected] which is compatible with [email protected], if you are on NodeBB\@0.5.x you should use the [email protected]

NodeBB dependency enforcement has been updated and improved much more in for 0.6, but not sure what exactly happened with you.

Maybe I should take the [email protected] down from npm till [email protected] actually gets released, which is in a week or so

[Guiri]

@bentael Thanks for the tip!

Laters version of the plugin but after npm install [email protected] its working ok.

Same issues i am having with all the other plugins not being compatible with the stable version.

@Scuzz Look on Github for the version number prior to 0.6.0 changes. Or post the plugins here and I'll take a look, also read bentaels post two above this one, 0.2.52 contains a fix for something in 0.2.51. So that should work too.

@Scuzz @Schamper @a_5mith v0.5.5 was released, with an update to the plugin compatibility detection so that NodeBB will actively refuse to upgrade past the suggested version, and installation will throw a warning with instructions on fixing NodeBB in the event an incompatible plugin is installed. The warning also acts as a confirmation dialog.

[a_5mith]

Sounds good.

@julian Awesome, thank you.
