An update on this in case it helps anyone else:
So there were some custom plugins that were installed via a local directory. The upgrade goes through without issues by performing the following before the upgrade:
custom plugins are omitted from package.json
node_modules and package-lock.json are removed
Once upgraded,
the custom plugin dependencies are to be added to package.json
Run npm install followed by ./nodebb build
This should fix the dependency issue if you have any custom plugins
D1re_W0lf Thanks for the response. Seem they do not work as Julian has confirmed.
Hi julian
Thanks a lot. Our current version is still NodeBB v3 so guess we may have to either make some tweaks or schedule a v4 upgrade soon. Thanks anyway Julian. Hope crawlers from search engines are still able to get through with the above setup yeah?
