See above. The latest update to [the group tracker plugin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-group-tracker) causes my Discourse sites to no longer to allow new posts (threads or replies) of any kind. When I attempt to click on the reply or new thread buttons, neither will display the reply area unless I build without the group tracker plugin enabled. Since I can’t post an issue on GitHub, I am replying here.

What version of Discourse do you have ? Are you able to update to latest version ?

This commit seems likely if it’s cross-version breakage: [DEV: use discourse decorators · discourse/discourse-group-tracker@26b8b28 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-group-tracker/commit/26b8b2800f6a4fd0c14b502a73025c8a4b0fabb4)

Runs fine locally.

Those commits actually fix it against the latest master, as it was broken due to the introduction of promises to the composer code… this one in particular:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-group-tracker/commit/2091e4ae2c9b3757c90dd0be790ff88f3a97b9a3](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-group-tracker/commit/2091e4ae2c9b3757c90dd0be790ff88f3a97b9a3)

Try rebuilding again with the latest plugin.

Fixed. Like they say, all’s well that ends well. A **huge** thank you to all involved!
