Product Support Self-hosting

AI-generated summary

The user 영광_임 is trying to install the discourse-rating plugin in a development environment, but is encountering the error fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /discourse). pfaffman suggests checking if the plugin is being installed in a production site and provides links to relevant guides. 영광_임 replies that they have a development environment and do not have an app.yml file.

pfaffman advises that the plugin should be installed in the plugins directory. 영광_임 successfully installs the plugin at home, but not at their company, which is running Discourse version 18.0.

merefield asks if the company version is also a development install, and 영광_임 confirms that it is. merefield suggests checking if GitHub can be pinged from the terminal and provides a link to a relevant topic.

영광_임 discovers that the issue is likely related to the Discourse version and later finds the real error to be undefined method 'add_permitted_post_create_param' for #<Plugin::Instance:0x00559773470350>.

merefield advises that the issue should be solved by updating the Discourse instance to the latest tests-passed version before trying to add plugins. 영광_임 thanks the users for their help, but has not yet solved the issue.

I am going to modify some of the topic and reply sources.
I want to place a star rating feature next to likes

I don’t know which part to modify Source

There is a lack of understanding of the Ruby language, which makes it difficult to implement code.

Use plugin discourse-rating… Add
Error : fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /discourse)
Have you ever experienced the same error when installing a plugin?
or
Controller or views file
Do you know where you need to edit?

Thank you for your attention

We can’t help with that kind of thing here. Support is limited to the official install, which is a docker-based installation using launcher and the app.yml.

If you opt to use something else you assume any extra technically burden which it creates.

5

Then you stick the plugins in the plugins directory.

I tried it and succeeded at home
but
The method does not apply in the company.
The difference is …
discourse version…
my company is discourse ver 18.0

7

The company version is a development install too?

8

Yes.. docker-compose, postgre, redis installed…

9

Can you ping GitHub from terminal successfully? (At work)

docker-compose Take a look at some other Topics on this install strategy. Eg. Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be bootstrapped?

I will defer to others on Docker as not an SME

It looks like a problem with the discourse version.
my coompany is version 18.0 discourse

I went home and removed github
The same error occurs. However, the plug-in works normally.

In the company, If you install the discourse-rating plug-in, it will not run when you restart with the docker.

11

I found a real error.

Error : undefined method `add_permitted_post_create_param’ for #Plugin::Instance:0x00559773470350

I think all bets are off until you get a working instance of Discourse at your company on latest tests-passed then worry about adding in the plugins later.

From my experience tests-passed is very robust so you would have little to fear (I run three production sites on tests-passed)

I have not solved it yet, but I am so sorry.
Thank you for answering my question
