Thanks for the tutorial, but I won't do that, it's like we say in Germany: "mit Kanonen auf Spatzen schiessen" (shooting with canons on sparrows). Also, I can't install software, because I'm on a shared system w/o root.

best,
Tom

@julian said in Upgrade from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2 failed:

Yes... that's correct. If you want, you can set package_manager to yarn, so the nodebb upgrade process uses yarn as well.

Then you should be good to go.

ok, I'll try this on production tomorrow.

Thanks for you help so far!

Well, at least I didn't add them as I don't have any clue about this stuff This is how I started: git clone -b v1.7.5 https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb.

Thanks goodness, now it went through with success.

What next? Do I still need to execute ./nodebb upgrade?

Eh... paste your package.json please

Ah, how is it "my" package.json? It came with NodeBB

Pretty sure you can remove lwip from there.

Ok, I did ... and ran into the same compilation error with some module named mmagic.

Nope.

What's interesting though is that it tries to upgrade /package/host/localhost/nodejs-6.13.1/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js which is a global package.

Yes, but how?

If you are seeing weird npm errors, remember to delete npm-shrinkwrap.json, package-lock.json, as well as clearing cache and such.

I did.

Double-check your package.json to make sure it doesn't require node-gyp or heapdump, we shouldn't require those.

Doesn't.

Honestly if all else fails... install yarn, set package_manager in config.json to yarn, and then yarn...

I don't understand. Especially, since before 1.8.2 I had no problem upgrading, I started at 1.7.5 and did it twice successfully.

It's a desaster

well, its many dozen pages of output everytime.

So, here's the whole output.

different errors:

Oh, I just found the module: /home/curv/.npm/heapdump/0.3.7 it's installed within my home directory as well!

I removed it and repeated the above procedure to no avail

Next, I looked where heapdump is being referenced and found npm-shrinkwrap.json from where I removed it as well.

Repeat the procedure. No more "heapdump" errors, but still no success and lots of compiler errors, here's the end of it:

Now what?

I'm not sure if I agree with npm's idea of package management:

WTF?

However, since this is a test folder anyway, I just removed the plugin, did the npm r heapdump && npm cache clean, removed "heapdump" from package.json, checked if it is referenced in any other module (it is not), checked if the directory node_modules/heapdump doesn't exist anymore (it didn't) and executed npm i afterwards.

It seems that it updated all the required modules, it displayed the long final tree. But in the end, there were still compiling errors and it finishes with:

Compiler errors are the same, I'm not going to post them again.

no idea?

I installed the write-api plugin, created a master token and I am able to access the usual suspects such as /api/users or /api/topics via the read-api.

However, I cannot access backend url's:

% curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" "https://www.foo.bar/api/admin/manage/privileges/?_uid=1"
"not-authorized"

If I access this url via chrome (once logged in into the admin backend), I get JSON output as expected.

Is this unsupported or am I doing something wrong?

best,
Tom

Ah, that explains it! Searching for Semmelknödel reveals 1 topic and 2 posts (which is correct). So, we have to seach for whole words until partial matches are supported sometime.

Ok, still a little annoying for the girls, but I'm going to blame you

However, thanks for clarifying @baris !

best,
Tom

@serdo said in Upgrade from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2 failed:

How can I install the script?

pls open your own thread, thx.

I also tried:

rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clear
npm i

with the same results and any nodejs version: it fails to build heapdump.

So, I'm offline now, any help is very appreciated!

Tom
