[TW5] Plugins files not saved

[Sylvain Dangin]

Hi, i'm new on TW5 (5.1.12) and i have a problem.

If i install a plugin (like language), no problem, all works fine.

But if i stop the server and restart it, all plugins doesn't works.

I have looking for a solution and i have found that all plugins files are empty in the tiddlers directory.

Are they special rights to set to the folders ?

Which operating system are you using? The user that is running tiddlywiki/nodejs must have write-access to the directories.

[Sylvain Dangin]

Debian Jessie with nginx, launched as root.

[c pa]

Also you need to manually save your tiddler before exiting.

[Sylvain Dangin]

I go in control Panel / Plugins

Install the language,

Save when check button pass from red to grey,

Refresh,

And if i kill the server and restart i have this : 

undefined:1

Hi Sylvain

You’ve actually uncovered two problems:

* Misleading documentation and user experience around plugin installation under the client-server configuration. With the Node.js configuration the plugin library is actually integrated into the installation. Rather than installing plugins using control panel, instead plugins are listed in the tiddlywiki.info file of the wiki. See the examples in the TW repo to see how it’s done

* Secondly, a bug whereby text tiddlers that weren’t marked as wikitext were saved as zero byte files under the client server configuration. I’ve started a fix for 5.1.13 here, but I’m still testing:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/a4506231a70941041e421d24810339ba5bfb9b43

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi all, I'm running TW5.1.12 under node.js on ubuntu 16.04. I get exactly the same error message as Sylvain when starting the server.

Upgrading to 5.1.13 (in order to benefit from Jeremy's fix) with

sudo npm update -g tiddlywiki

doesn't work apparently.

Is there any way I can fix this by myself?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Oliver

Do you mean that the upgrade to 5.1.13 didn’t take place, or that it didn’t fix the problem?

What do you see when you type the following?

tiddlywiki --version

Is there any way I can fix this by myself?

If you were running the faulty version then you may have ended up with some zero length files in your tiddlers folder. You’ll need to manually find them and remove them.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Jeremy, that was a quick response!

The upgrade to 5.1.13 didn’t take place. When using the upgrade command below, it gets back to the prompt very quickly.

tiddlywiki --version still returns 5.1.12

But it doesn't really matter at this point as my main concern is to be able to start the server again. I managed to find and remove a few zero length files and now the server starts again. Wonderful!

Thank you...

... and hats off for the magic of TW :)

You could try:

sudo npm --verbose update -g tiddlywiki

Hi Oliver,

Which node --version do you use?

-m

[Olivier Tripet]

Hi Mario,

6.3.1

-o

[Olivier Tripet]

Hi Jeremy, your suggested command returns:

npm verb outdated not updating tiddlywiki because it's currently at the maximum version that matches its specified semver range

Any iddea what it means?

Thanks,

Olivier

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Why don't you uninstall and install tw again?

npm un -g tiddlywiky
npm i - g tiddlywiky

[Olivier Tripet]

well... it was as simple as that. Thank you!
