We have a custom theme for our NodeBB installation, and after every deployment, composer plugin breaks, here is how it looks. To make it properly work, we have to go to admin panel and manually re-order our plugins such that our theme is at the end of the plugins list. Is there a way out? Or is there a way to automate it? Thanks

The process is too difficult to really describe here, it might be easier to just implement a feature where tests can be run than explain how to do it yourself.

So I will have to create a PR to NodeBB core for this feature? There seems not to be another way?

@PitaJ Actually I have a custom theme, which has extended the core router and there are a few endpoints which I want to write tests for. What I am not being able to figure out is that how I can load my custom theme when I run npm run test in NodeBB directory so that I could run tests for my custom endpoints. Please note that my theme is child of nodebb-theme-persona, can you please help me with this? Thanks

Anybody who can respond? @julian

Your plugin will need to be activated for the routes and sockets and stuff to work, though.

The way this has to be done is having the NodeBB test run the tests of your plugin.

This doesn't work either if your plugin/theme is having module.parent.require calls inside them. Any other solution?

@PitaJ @julian anybody?

I have to write unit tests for our custom plugins, and the tests files will be run with jest/mocha binaries. The problem is that I cannot require NodeBB core modules inside my test files to mock/stub them. I have tried both require.main.require and module.parent.require, and get the "Cannot find module" error. Is there a way to do so?

Hey @julian, can you please help with the above? Thanks

I am getting a lot of HTTP HEAD requests against some of the endpoints on my NodeBB instance, here are a few of them:

head /category/:category_id/:slug?
head /topic/topic_id/:slug/:post_index?

I wonder why I am getting these requsts with the HEAD method, and given there are no handlers for these requests? Can anybody help? Thanks
