Solved Upgrade Problem from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4

[phenomlab]

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

@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 the issue, but not great at all from the user experience. Seems that my socket.io load has increased dramat...

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)

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-reactions-plugin-for-nodebb/38?_=1651756544137

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.
