I had the same problem now when updating again. The solution was to enter the docker container:

docker exec -it ff747e7168b7 /bin/sh

then when building it printed some errors:

/opt/nodebb # ./nodebb build

Then I removed all plugins, enabled only quill, rebuild (no more missing file warnings) and restarted the docker container.

Sooo it works if I restart the docker container when switching between quill and the default composer. Can we mark this thread as solved?

@kelteseth Oh no. Now it is even weirder

@PitaJ Ok so looks like my a restart of the machine did the trick. Before the update to 1.16 I updated the Ubuntu of the base machine (my nodebb runs via docker https://github.com/nilsramsperger/docker-nodebb) but without restarting. So if anyone else gets a nodebb invalid-event error, ask yourself: Did you try rebooting?

thanks!

@pitaj Yes even with only quill or none plugins I still have the same error. Any ideas?

Forum: https://forum.screen-play.app

The forum is vanilla nodebb with enabled nodebb-plugin-composer-quill. Even after downgrading to 1.15.5 I still get this error. Also enable/disable multiple combination of quill/markdown/composer-default did not help (with rebuild). The only thing that is working is quick reply.
