Bug

Hi all,

Just installed the latest versions of each of these plugins on Discourse 3.4.6 and got these errors

Error in Topic Voting Plugin
Error in Topic Voting Plugin648Ɨ141 13.2 KB

Error in Post Voting Plugin
Error in Post Voting Plugin654Ɨ291 23.3 KB

These errors completely crash Discourse and can only see a blank page.

Bummer!
Maybe update Discourse then try again?

Discourse is at 3.5.0.beta8-dev

It says up-to-date :thinking:

For the tests-passed branch, but if youā€™re tracking stable then I think 3.4.6 is right (3.4.6: Security fix release)

There should be a compatibility file that ensures it doesnā€™t pull in anything from the plugin the main site isnā€™t ready for, but maybe thatā€™s gone a little awry for this last one. Hopefully someone can identify what the issue is and smooth it out. :crossed_fingers:

True enough but Discourse dev approach is so rock solid I stay with tests-passed and have nearly zero issues. :slight_smile:

Any chance @HandSpy_v3 is not using the official plugin? His OP references two plugins, like we used to have.

Iā€™m using the Official plugins, just added in my .yml under

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          ...
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-voting.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-post-voting.git

Brain dead, sorry. Two plugins, not one. :upside_down_face:

@HandSpy_v3 You might change to tests-passed in app.yml per Discourse recommendation.

params:
  db_default_text_search_config: "pg_catalog.english"

  ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory.
  ## will be set automatically by bootstrap based on detected RAM, or you can override
  db_shared_buffers: "256MB"

  ## can improve sorting performance, but adds memory usage per-connection
  #db_work_mem: "40MB"

  ## Which Git revision should this container use? (default: tests-passed)
  #version: tests-passed

Yes, works in beta.

Generally we try to add a compatibility file into plugins to avoid situations like this, will alert the team.

Workaround is to check out an earlier version of the plugin on stable.
