I'm on it. Breaking changes in emojione (not the NodeBB plugin) without proper versioning...

[hnahli]

@frissdiegurke is there anyway to start the forum now as it has been down since last night i guess?

[frissdiegurke]

You can now update to nodebb-plugin-emoji-one@1.1.4.

npm rm nodebb-plugin-emoji-one
npm install nodebb-plugin-emoji-one@1.1.4

@frissdiegurke I did updated the plugin and upgraded the nodebb but i am still getting the same error:

You need to explicitly state @1.1.4 otherwise it won't update to that version due to the static 1.1.3 within NodeBB's package.json

And a NodeBB upgrade afterwards could revert this. If you need that, change the 1.1.3 within NodeBB's package.json to a 1.1.4.

Still doesn´ t work:

@mechanix change the version of emojione plugin in NodeBB's package.json to 1.1.4 to get rid of that error

[Alex Papagiannis]

The error is fixed for me but still nodebb is not starting. see below:

Any advice?

@Alex-Papagiannis said in Error Starting NodeBB:

The error is fixed for me but still nodebb is not starting. see below:

You are still using nodebb-plugin-emoji-one@1.1.3 instead of 1.1.4; See above posts for solution.

[Alex Papagiannis]

@frissdiegurke I have the correct version. So not sure where the problem occurs. Any tips?

See below:

[frissdiegurke]

@Alex-Papagiannis
The NodeBB instance of your previous screenshot definitely does not use 1.1.4, that's how far I can tell for sure; The 1.1.4 version does not use /.images/svg anymore in any step.

So I can just repeat the steps to ensure an updated version for you:

# stop running instances
npm rm nodebb-plugin-emoji-one # or rm -rf node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one
# edit NodeBB/package.json; update nodebb-plugin-emoji-one version to 1.1.4
npm install --production # or ./nodebb upgrade if you wish
# start NodeBB as ususal

If that does not work, try npm cache clean and repeat. If it still does not work, there is something else wrong here.

[Alex Papagiannis]

I followed all the steps still the same error. I will continue to monitor this thread just in case someone has a solution. Thanks @frissdiegurke I hope something will come up soon.

Hi,
I've the same error but not with one but for me all plugins get a rollback in the first version, i upgraded all but when I want to do restart, it came back for old version.
So the error of emoji is the same...
I'm in v1.0.4 and it is the same for my 2 forums (one in localhost and one in website)

[frissdiegurke]

@LeChatP Since there is no NodeBB 1.0.4 released yet, I assume you're on the weekly branch. Might it be you have an (relic) npm-shrinkwrap.json within your NodeBB directory? If so, remove that.
If there is none, please post the output of git status.

[LeChatP]

Thank you very much @frissdiegurke , also my problem still the same than @Alex-Papagiannis with emoji. So I think this plugin just don't work in his last version, I disabled it using ./nodebb reset -p nodebb-plugin-emoji-one and so my forum came back I think i will don't have any emoji but it doesn't matter instead of a complete forum

[Herman Verzona]

Any progress yet? I have the same problem! please do something. I like emojis and i need them

[frissdiegurke]

I've had a conversation with the emoji-one support/dev and they reverted their (accidental) changes. Now 1.1.4 is not working anymore; every other version is. Released 1.1.5 because of this

[mechanix]

Still doesnt work. Nodebb is starting but in the composer I don´ t see the emoji icon nor is the auto completion feature working

[mechanix]

Pardon me, my mistake. The icon set wasnt active in the dasshboard
