How to upgrade from 0.5.7 to 0.6.0 - Now there are Error of Installation.

[scottalanmiller]

Here is my config file with the obvious stuff stripped out...

/opt/kae# cat config.json
{
	"port": "4569",
	"secret": "......",
	"database": "mongo",
	"mongo": {
		"host": "127.0.0.1",
		"port": "27017",
		"username": ".....",
		"password": ".....",
		"database": "....."
	},
	"url": "http://localhost:4569"

@scottalanmiller You will need to install the version of the plugin that is compatible with 0.6.0.

So in this case it should be npm i nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook@0.3.0

[scottalanmiller]

@baris said:

npm i nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook@0.3.0

So many dependency errors. I've tried removing those modules but they keep being required.

[scottalanmiller]

That Vanilla error has been going on for a few versions now.

[baris]

I would just remove the themes with npm uninstall and then install the latest version of the one that you use.

Cerulean is pretty outdated can remove that permenantly.

[scottalanmiller]

Took out a lot of modules and it throws no more errors about them. But the same issue starting up.

Imgur plugin should be version 0.1.2 for nodebb 0.6.0

[scottalanmiller]

Finally, that did it. Thanks!

Any means of getting those to automatically update?

[baris]

While upgrading running ./nodebb upgrade should call npm install, which in turn should install all the latest dependencies. Not sure if you ran ./nodebb upgrade?

[Master-Antonio]

@priapo said:

@Master-Antonio yes, as they said, it is a file inside your nodebb/ directory; so go to your nodebb directory and type

cat config.json

then copy and paste it in your text editor, remove the passwords and post here.

Or you can remove the file and run ./nodebb setup again, if you know the passwords and ports.

How change the python version to 2.7?

[priapo]

@Master-Antonio I don't know how to do this in arch linux but as I can see by your screenshots, the procedures you did already worked for the python issue, your error is probably: or regarding your config.json format (please copy and paste it here changing your passwords) or regarding your plugins, or both. As you see above, some plugins are non-compatible with the current nodebb version 0.6.0 and should be updated.

For your plugins try the command npm update inside nodebb directory... I was with the same problem and this worked for me another day.

Every time you need python 2.7 again you just need to use the last command:

export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

[TaLoche]

Hello guys,

I've been trying to update to v0.6.0 without any success.

If I do a $ git pull
It seems like I'm already up-to-date.

If I do a $ git checkout v0.6.x I get the following error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
src/groups.js
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.

I've checked out all the topics here I could find on this issue, but even with ./nodebb dev I don't find anything wrong.

If you have any ideas, that would be great. For now I've been giving up goats to the gods and so far no answers.

Thanks!

[julian]

@TaLoche That git error means you (or somebody else) modified the src/groups.js file. You'll need to reverse the changes to that file and checkout again.

[TaLoche]

Thanks @julian for your reply.

I downloaded v0.5.7 and did overwrite via FTP this groups.js file and it got me to a new level:

throw new TypeError("Parameter 'url' must be a string, not " + typeof url)

My config.json is the same as before and I have in it:

"base_url": "http://178.X.X.X",

But I ran node app --setup then just to play it safe and then ./nodebb start and got this error:

module.js:340
throw err;
^

Am I missing a module? I don't have many plugins activated.

[julian]

If you downgrade to 0.5.7, you'll need to run npm install again, as the dependencies have changed.

[TaLoche]

Thanks @julian!

I started from my old 0.5.7 version, changed back my group.js to the original one found on Github.

Did

./nodebb stop
git pull
git checkout v0.6.x
git pull
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start

Everything went fine but nodebb wasn't lauching... In the end I started over again by disabling all the plugins (I think the mybb importer was the one causing all this fuss) and it worked, I am now in 0.6.0 and it's time for me to pull out the sunglasses to look cool.
Thanks again!

[julian]

For future reference, to easily "go back to the unmodified version", use git checkout

$ git checkout src/groups.js

I'm learning something new here everyday! Muchas gracias Señor
