v1.4.0 startup error

[MJ]

@PitaJ Upgrade totally broke my NodeBB

Did reset the plugin, Now it's up again, but composer doesn't show up

[PitaJ]

@MJ "totally broken" isn't very specific. Can you please reactivate composer and give some more information like:

• git commit NodeBB
• composer version
• default or redactor
• error on server
• errors on client
• screenshots if it's a UI issue

And make sure you do a full restart of NodeBB with

./nodebb stop
./nodebb build
./nodebb start

[MJ]

@PitaJ Sorry for the unspecific answer.

Composer is working again after ./nodebb build. Composer is back at v4.3.0.

git commit NodeBB
What does this meaning? Must I use this in console?
composer version now
4.3.0
default or redactor
default
error on server
No error seen.
errors on client
I did get 1 error after restarting NodeBB.
NodeBB could not be restarted, as a running instance could not be found.

@PitaJ Done

NodeBB not starting up anymore

[PitaJ]

@MJ any errors?

[julian]

As @PitaJ says, a full startup log would be helpful.

delete logs/output.log, start up NodeBB using ./nodebb start, and then when it fails, attach output.log here.

@PitaJ said in v1.4.0 startup error:

@MJ try this sequence of commands:

./nodebb stop
npm install nod[email protected]
./nodebb build
./nodebb start

For me this results in:
4/12 04:11 [14399] - warn: One or more of NodeBB's dependent packages are out-of-date. Please run the following command to update them:
4/12 04:11 [14399] - warn: ./nodebb upgrade

After running nodebb upgrade, I'm back to 4.3.0.

[MJ]

[outdated] nodebb-plugin-composer-default installed v4.3.1, package.json requires 4.3.0
4/12 19:26 [28809] - warn: One or more of NodeBB's dependent packages are out-of-date. Please run the following command to update them:

[MJ]

ofter doing npm install [email protected] it works again

[PitaJ]

@MJ try changing the nodebb-plugin-composer-default line in package.json to be 4.3.1 instead of 4.3.0

[MJ]

@PitaJ before or after installing the composer?

[MJ]

still same error

[PitaJ]

@MJ change the line in package.json to 4.3.1 then install [email protected] then try starting

[MJ]

a ssoon as I change a file, my nodeBB stopt working

[MJ]

only if i do ./nodebb upgrade my nodebb works again.

[MJ]

okay step by step

change to this

./nodebb log only 1 error only, but this plugin gives error from the beginning I use nodeBB.

next upload and overwrite package.json in nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-composer-default

done

after uploading the file my NodeBB gives allready an error

running log

I did'nt even use npm install [email protected]

so before ugrading NodeBB gives the error

[PitaJ]

@MJ so you're running these:

1. ./nodebb stop
2. edit package.json to 4.3.1 for composer
3. npm install [email protected]
4. ./nodebb build
5. ./nodebb start
