Thank you. I found it in the console -- it was "Mousetrap" which was enabled in public/src/acp.min.js. I had to comment the entire section out. That was breaking everything else. Appreciate your assistance.
Edit: Also, FWIW, the output.log only shows the tail of the startup log ending with the plugin spam-be-gone being loaded. Nothing ever posts afterward. Now I can proceed with deactivating plugins singularly and hopefully it was something with one of them which was causing output.log to show basically nothing...
@elandriel how are you viewing the contents of the file output.log?
don't think plugins have the ability to mess with logging in output.log
edits made to public/src/acp.min.js will be gone once you restart NodeBB.
I view it directly with vi as well as watching it realtime in ./nodebb log. The only reason I mention that plugin is because it's the last line of output before it stops logging. However that may be because these errors are not significant enough to warrant a log entry...
It appears my woes continue anyway as there are issues with the dashboard still not recognizing properties.

If .js edits disappear upon a reload then I am going to have a bad time. Any thoughts?
Thanks again.
@elandriel there is no acp.min.js in public/src? do you mean public/acp.min.js?
@pichalite what do you see when you run cat logs/output.log from the nodebb directory?
You can also get more verbose logging using ./nodebb dev instead of ./nodebb start. This way it will start blocking. Useful for debugging.
@frissdiegurke Thanks. I will update more later after I have a bit more down time. I appreciate you guys' help.
@pichalite The only thing that shows up in output log is the startup stuff, and when I installed a database import plugin with the hopes of exporting my database to a usable format in case I need to blow everything up.
I did mean /public/acp.min.js; my mistake.
This is concerning... due to a change I made in how we load third-party assets.
@elandriel What happens when you go to these urls?
/src/modules/mousetrap.js/src/modules/Chart.jsThey should both load javascript files. If not, something went wrong during startup, as those files should have been bridged.
During startup in dev mode (./nodebb dev) you'll see a line that looks like this:
19/4 09:48 [8681] - verbose: [meta/js] 3 of 3 modules bridged
That line means the bridging was successful and 2 of those three filese are mousetrap and Chart...
@julian Thanks for the reply.
Looking into it, getting http://forum-url/src/mousetrap.js and /src/modules/Chart.js does load javascript files.
Also, "19/4 11:29 [5447] - verbose: [meta/js] 3 of 3 modules bridged" -- so you have little to fear there. Odd that they are not integrating with my forum post-upgrade.
The dev console doesn't show me the kind of javascript errors I'm receiving in my browser console so I'm thinking there's possibly something wrong with my install itself. Perhaps a permissions issue or something. So my next step is a total reinstall and mongo reconnect. Will update further after to advise.
