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

@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 [email protected].

npm rm nodebb-plugin-emoji-one
npm install [email protected]

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?

You are still using [email protected] 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:

@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
