There is something messed up with peer dependencies on my installation. @phenomlab is looking at it right now.

[DownPW]

Great, you’re in good hands

[DownPW]

If needed or if it can be used by someone using this plugin, here is my code for a dark theme :

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*----------------------     nodebb-plugin-reaction     ----------------------*/
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/* Popup bg */
.emoji-dialog {
    border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
    background: var(--bs-card-cap-bg);
}

/* Tab bg */
.nav-tabs .nav-item.show .nav-link, .nav-tabs .nav-link.active {
    --bs-nav-tabs-link-active-color: var(--bs-body-color-muted);
    --bs-nav-tabs-link-active-bg: var(--bs-body-navbar-active);
    --bs-nav-tabs-link-active-border-color: var(--bs-border-color);
}

/* Tab Hover */
.nav-tabs .nav-link:hover {
  border: var(--bs-nav-tabs-border-width) solid var(--bs-border-color);
}

/* Add reaction button */
span.reaction-add {
    color: var(--bs-link-color);
}

@dave1904 I’ve managed to fix most of the peer dependencies but there are still some really strange issues with this instance. I need to look at this in a bit more detail unfortunately as it’s like trying to chase a ghost presently

What I am seeing is the below

npm WARN @apidevtools/swagger-parser@10.1.0 requires a peer of openapi-types@>=7 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions@1.0.2 requires a peer of nodebb-plugin-emoji@^4.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN cosmiconfig-typescript-loader@4.3.0 requires a peer of cosmiconfig@>=7 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN textcomplete.contenteditable@0.1.1 requires a peer of textcomplete@^0.14.2 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

The second line I would not expect because that dependency is satisfied by nodebb-plugin-emoji@5.0.7 which is now installed. Hard to know what the peer dependencies are currently.

EDIT: You have a really old npm version at 6.14.17. This should be upgraded and may solve the problems. For example, mine is v9.

Additionally, using the command
npm config set legacy-peer-deps true should auto resolve issues, but likely npm needs upgrading.

[dave1904]

@phenomlab I’m very thankful for taking your time and fixing most of the peer dependencies. That’s really strange

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 No issues. See my comment above about npm

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 I’ll look more into this tomorrow, but you could

1. Upgrade npm
2. Stop NodeBB
3. Run the NodeBB upgrade process again
4. Start NodeBB
5. Test

I tried your steps but still no success unfortunately

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 what’s the output of npm --version and node --version ?

[dave1904]

@phenomlab

npm --version
9.6.5

node --version
v18.16.0

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 hmm. Nothing wrong with those.

[dave1904]

@phenomlab After upgrading npm and node I did upgrade nodebb again but that didn’t do any changes. Can you please tell me which commands I have to use to see those peer dependencies listed in the screenshot you sent me via pn?

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 if you stop NodeBB and use ./nodebb upgrade, they should appear in the console.

2. Bringing base dependencies up to date...  started

  run `npm fund` for details

Looks better doesn’t it?

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 yes, it does.

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 did you manage to get any further with this ?

[dave1904]

@phenomlab I gave up on this yesterday

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 Ok. I’ll login again later and take a look at this. I still think it’s related to dependencies.

[phenomlab]

@dave1904 I’ve managed to resolve this issue - see below

It seems that there is a conflicting plugin somewhere that causes reactions to not fire. Not sure which one it is, but below are the steps I took to resolve

1. Issue ./nodebb reset -t - this essentially resets everything back to default - be warned, as it will strip literally all customisations also
2. Reactivate only the essential plugins (typically those that come with the stock installation)
3. Install and activate nodebb-plugin-emoji, nodebb-plugin-emoji-android and @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions@latest
4. Rebuild and restart

Obviously, these steps are quite dramatic and would mean some downtime for your forum. You’d also need to put everything back the way it was in terms of CSS, Widgets, etc, so quite invasive. My suggestion would be to try a minimal approach on prod to see if we can get that to work without having to use the somewhat “sledgehammer” approach above.
