Upgrade Problem from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Yes, I do, but it’s not a version issue - it’s permissions.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab permission for user right? so i did not change any permison for nodebb user so why it caused or what i should do for to give permision to nodebb user? till 2.8.2 nodebb user can upgrade any permission case what happened with 2.8.4

[phenomlab]

@cagatay are you able to remove that plugin and reinstall or does it present the same error?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab yeap i removed the plugin and reinstall it problem is fixed.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i deleted emoji plugin but while upgraded to 2.8.6 faced same problem.
cant understand whats going on.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay can you provide the logs?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab from now like this;

but when upgrading;

[phenomlab]

@cagatay does it work if you remove this plugin, perform the upgrade, and then put it back afterwards?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i removed the plugin then upgraded but faced same eror…

@cagatay @phenomlab

Maybe reset permissions on all nodebb directory like this ?

chown -R yournodebbuser:yournodebbuser /home/youruser/yournodebbdirectory

chown -R nodes:nodes /home/nodes/nodebb

because I see permissions error on /home/nodes/nodebb/builds/.... in the last screenshot

And .upgrade and or rebuild nodebb

??

[phenomlab]

@DownPW yes, but we really need to understand why and how these permissions are changing.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW @cagatay I found the reason why. This plugin is in fact faulty. I installed it myself because I wanted to add that feature to Sudonix. Not only does it push socket.io through the roof (and adds at least 2 seconds lag to each transaction)

[nodebb-plugin-reactions] Reactions plugin for NodeBB

Anyone else noticed significant lag (and I'm talking 2 seconds for each click) as soon as you add a reaction to a post? Reloading the browser fixes th...(more)

NodeBB Community

It also is impossible to remove by using the GUI - see my experience below, which is exactly the same as @cagatay

Not great. The only way to remove this cleanly is from the CLI

npm remove @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions
./nodebb build
./nodebb restart

I remember flagging this a while back - it’s here

cannot uninstall scoped packages from the ACP · Issue #10582 · NodeBB/NodeBB

makes a request to Cannot GET /api/v1/plugins/@nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-reactions#8

And here (one I raised)

Installs ok, but you cannot uninstall at all ! See below screenshot. See discussion - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/10225/nodebb-plugin-reactions...(more)

So, my advice is NOT to use this plugin currently as the unnecessary load it places on your forum isn’t worth the functionality it provides.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i dont have this plugin Mark. So the problem is currently continue.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Sorry - my mistake.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab not fixed yet.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay are you installing this plugin as root, or as the user running NodeBB?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab as user.
as a root i dont want to use for Nodebb.
on the other hand the forum is working normally. it is happening just when i m upgrading.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay I’m not able to replicate this issue within my test environment. What permissions are set for the file and folders on this specific plugin?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab its not problem as for the this moment. lets forget about it.
we should focus on v3

[phenomlab]

@cagatay I can work with that
