Failed upgrade from v2.7.0.beta1 to v2.7.0.beta2

Please see this gist gist:86508bebb133a06f79fadaeba345e3d6 · GitHub

This is a stock-standard, standalone Discourse install, trying to upgrade from v2.7.0.beta1 to v2.7.0.beta2

Failure is here:

Any ideas? The site is offline as a result. Thanks.

That’s a little disturbing. Are you out of disk space or anything like that?

Hi, nope - on the host, there’s 70GB free. Only 1% of inodes are in use.

I assumed the ‘no such file or directory’ was just a side-effect of this:

Parse error at _vendor-b631d4ab0775fdbe453aa2158e18dc41826d0ba619e5f2731e5b9fa4c458af99.js:1850,34

That file definitely exists:

I’m not sure. I just upgraded my own two self hosted instances with no issues at all.

Any unusual plugins, or third party plugins, or extensive customizations?

#5

Thanks… absolutely no plugins or heavy customizations… it was essentially a fresh install in late 2020, just minor tweaks to settings via the admin UI for things like moderator permissions etc. Very strange.

Regretfully I didn’t take a backup before I ran the upgrade, although I have some automated ones from a couple days ago. I guess that’s my only way out of this for now… not being Ruby-minded, I’ve no idea how to figure that error out

#6

Ah, looks like running ./launcher restart app has at least got it back online despite the database schema updates that have run. Prior to that, it was throwing a 500 error. Phew

These are what are in the plugins dir, I am assuming they came with the core install, as I haven’t manually added any

the site theme’s a bit bust following the restart, I guess because the assets weren’t finished compiling… wonder if there’s a way to get it over the line manually…

#8

This is the section in the vendor js file it’s complaining about:

// allow us to import this as a module
if (typeof define !== "undefined") {
  define("handlebars", ["exports"], function (__exports__) {
    // It might not be defined server side, which is OK for pretty-text
    if (typeof Handlebars !== "undefined") {
      // eslint-disable-next-line
      __exports__.default = Handlebars;
      __exports__.compile = function () {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        return Handlebars.compile(...arguments);
      };
    }
  });

  define("handlebars-compiler", ["exports"], function (__exports__) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line
    __exports__.default = Handlebars.compile;
  });
}
;

Line 1850 (what errors) is this bit:

        return Handlebars.compile(...arguments);

Is there any temporary hack I could do here to get past it? Or is that file going to be generated each time I try the upgrade (P.S it thinks I’ve fully upgraded following the restart… but the theme is bust… wondering if I can somehow get through this step or if I’ll have to restore from backup, basically…)

That whole section of the code comes from this file:

app/assets/javascripts/handlebars-shim.js

I guess uglify-js sees return Handlebars.compile(...arguments); as a syntax error.

What I don’t understand is how this could be unique to my install, this is all inside the Docker container…

#10

It has come through from this commit I guess? DEV: Sync up more Ember CLI features (#11790) · discourse/discourse@83347ac · GitHub

#11

OK - so I don’t know why, but I ran the manual upgrade process (git pull; ./launcher rebuild app) and it worked.

Lots of other activity like postgres upgrades etc came through as part of that manual upgrade.

My guess: something in that commit above, was not compatible with uglify-js or rails version or something, on the original container. It was basically an upgrade that required the ‘manual’ upgrade process.

Because the web admin interface let me upgrade docker_manager and then the discourse app itself, I assumed this would not be necessary (I know that sometimes it says an upgrade via the web admin cannot be done, and to do it manually… but that didn’t happen in this case, and probably should have…)

Thanks for your help anyway

Same thing happened for me—web upgrade failed with an “Unexpected token: punc” error, manual pull/rebuild worked.

Got also a problem when running this update (Web upgrage) :frowning:
After executing these commands:
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
the discourse is working, but it is not possible to enter the admin panel (/admin)

ubuntu update helped restore work

The announcement said that you’d need to do a command line rebuild. I’m not sure why the web interface didn’t know to enforce that.

Funnily enough I was just trying to use that functionality in dev and it’s not working for me … Handlebars object only has create(), not compile()though I might be barking up the wrong tree … have raised here: Adding a bespoke raw template
