Ok, I know I am just missing a step that isn't obvious. But I have a node.js TW version 5.1.17. I upgrade the TW node app to 5.1.19. When I create a new TW with that version and call --listen, it serves up the TW. But when I call --listen against my existing TW, it says that it doesn't recognize the command. 

This tiddler tells me how to upgrade a single page TW: https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Upgrading.html

How do I upgrade my tiddler which is in multiple pages due to it being managed by the node app?

Hi Andrés

It sounds as though one possibility is that your wiki includes a copy of the old v5.1.17 core plugin. Have a look through the tiddler folder for a large tiddler file called something like "$__core.tid", and delete it if you find it.

Best wishes

Hi, I just tried 

sudo npm update -g tiddlywiki



from a version 5.1.18, (current version out is 5.1.19) but nothing seemed to happen, i.e. no feedback in the terminal (but there was a 1-2 seconds pause).  

I'm on Bob 1.2.2r2.  I tried looking for a big file called something like "$__core.tid", but didn't find it.  Is it maybe a server problem and I should just try again later?


thanks,
- Dave

Dave,

Are you using the single executable version of Bob? If so than the version of node or tiddlywiki on your computer has no effect on anything because BobEXE is completely self-contained. It has both tiddlywiki and node built into it.
