[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)

Please wait while the description loads.

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

GitHub

And here (one I raised)

Unable to uninstall plugin · Issue #8 · NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-reactions

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

[phenomlab]

You are getting that message because you have the three plugins below installed which all depend on nodebb-plugin-emoji so you cannot remove the main plugin without first removing those

I’ve done it for you anyway

You should be able to upgrade now.

[cagatay]

Users can not use emoji from now how i can fix it?

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Did you reinstall the plugins? They were removed so you could complete the upgrade

[cagatay]

yes installed but not working.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay any error messages in the logs ? Would be helpful if you could post them here.
