[Solved] blank home

[Giorgio Chiodi]

Hello guys, this morning I was welcomed with a blank homepage on my local install... what could it be?

I also noticed this some times (within the last weeks), but always forget to view js-console...

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@frissdiegurke Sorry I meant on my local install

[frissdiegurke]

@Giorgio-Chiodi Noticed on both local and this site

[julian]

Hm... let me know what javascript errors you get. Also make sure you're on the latest version

[Giorgio Chiodi]

how do I...?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

ah there it is:

You can grab the version hash by running git rev-parse HEAD in console.

git rev-parse HEAD

It looks like your nodebb.min.js was improperly parsed, so you can delete that file and run NodeBB again.

Alternatively, the latest version of NodeBB does away with that file altogether, so you can update to the latest version, if you'd like.

On the same version, yes? Hm... what happens if you try to run it in development mode? (./nodebb dev)

[Giorgio Chiodi]

To add to this, my nodebb.min.js never gets created on last nights code. I'm on Windows.

[julian]

@mr_waffle As of commits yesterday, the js minfile is no longer a real file

@giorgio-chiodi let me try to go back to your version and see...

Anyway, I was getting errors in the JS console of require not being defined, and a bunch of followup errors, and was greeted with a blank page

[julian]

Yeah, that issue should be fixed by upgrading to the latest version -- this might also be fixed in the latest version, actually. Could you give that a try @giorgio-chiodi ?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

This post is deleted!

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@julian so I stop everything and do a ./nodebb upgrade?

[julian]

@giorgio-chiodi Yes:

$ ./nodebb stop
$ git pull
$ ./nodebb upgrade
$ ./nodebb start

Remember, back up your database first!
