No reason to ask things twice, especially when I already said there would be a fix available soon. The new version of discourse-migratepassword is available now. Just rebuild.

This appears to be related to the migratepassword plugin. I can rebuild the forum with all plugins disabled but I get the bootstrap failure if I try to rebuild with only the migratepassword plugin enabled.

Yes, this broke yesterday due to an updated dependency in core, the PR is already on my to-do-list and will be available later today or tomorrow. quick fixes: Option 1 check out Discourse 91c94f which is the commit before the breaking change Option 2 change gem 'ffi', '1.15.5', require: false in the plugin to gem 'ffi', '1.16.2', require: false

[image] Richard - Communiteq: Option 1 check out Discourse 91c94f which is the commit before the breaking change Option 2 change gem 'ffi', '1.15.5', require: false in the plugin to gem 'ffi', '1.16.2', require: false Not sure how to do either of those. I did try putting “version: 91c94f” into app.yml but that didn’t help so I probably did the wrong thing. I’ll just run without the plugin until the PR is ready. The vast majority of my users have already migrated from their old passwords, but there are one or two ‘legacy users’ each week who surface again from a few years ago.

What are the cmd for this or where is the file located for me to change this?

[image] Richard - Communiteq: 91c94f in this case how would I do that in the console I mean, the cmd to execute

[image] Richard - Communiteq: The new version of discourse-migratepassword is available now. Thanks for the fix Richard. Now rebuilt without errors :grinning:

im still having the same issue, and I don’t have discourse-migratepassword in my plugin
