Can't Make Upgrade From 5.1.21 to 5.2.22 Happen (node.js)

[Kevin Kleinfelter]

I need help debugging why my TW upgrade didn't work.

After I run `npm update -g tiddl...@5.1.22` then `npm show -g tiddlywiki version` reports 5.1.22.  But TiddlyWiki control panel still says 5.1.21, even after I stopped and restarted it.

• `node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js --version` reports 5.1.21.
• `npm show tiddlywiki version` reports 5.1.22
• `find / -name tiddlywiki.js` reports:
• /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js
• /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/plugins/tiddlywiki/codemirror-mode-x-tiddlywiki/files/mode/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js

can you run `which tiddlywiki`?

Also, is you current folder a data folder? Meaning is there a tiddlywiki.info file in the folder you are running the tiddlywiki command from?

No output from `which tiddlywiki`.  The only way I can use a "tiddlywiki" command is to first run something like:

`alias tiddlywiki=node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js`.  So I usually run it as `node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js`

As I mentioned earlier, the only non-plugin tiddlywiki.js is /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js and that reports 5.1.22.

I think it is clear that the version I HAVE after attempting to upgrade is 5.1.21, and npm is somehow broken and thinks I have 5.1.22.

check if you have any files in the tiddlers folder of your data folder that start with $__core 

If you do, please paste the names here.

Are there any other folders in the data folder beside the tiddlers folder?

You must have edited a few core tiddlers and maybe added a few buttons? 

I'm not sure if you changed the images intentionally or not. 

I notice you have two ViewTemplate files, one with two dots before the extension instead of one. 

If none of these changes were intentional you can delete all of them. Normally when I make custom buttons and stuff I name it a different prefix like $:/arlen/ unless I actually need to override a core tiddler. This helps to keep upgrade cleaner. I'm not seeing anything here yet that should be affecting it.

I didn't *directly* create those files.  Looking at a couple of them, they say they were created by "jd".  I'm guessing that is http://j.d.material.tiddlyspot.com/ .  I tried using that but it had some side effects I didn't care for.  I'll remove those.  Thanks for pointing them out.

[Kevin Kleinfelter]

Update: The problem has nothing to do with my tiddlers. It looks like somehow npm is broken on my system.

• cd /tmp
• mkdir node_modules

• npm install tiddl...@5.1.21

• node ./node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js --version

• -- It reports 5.1.21, as expected

• npm upgrade tiddl...@5.1.22

• -- It silently completes.  $? is 0, indicating success.

• node ./node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js --version
  

• -- It reports 5.1.21

For whatever reason, "npm upgrade" simply does not work on my system.

[Arlen Beiler]

Yeah, which would also explain why there is no tiddlywiki command on your $PATH.

The --version command will give you the package.json version, which means that it should be more accurate than npm show version

It does seem like there's a few problems with your npm install, I think. That's probably where I would look next.

Ha!  Found it.

npm upgrade tiddl...@5.1.22 # has no effect on a 5.1.21.

npm upgrade tiddlywiki # upgrades it to 5.1.22

This happens on multiple system.  I went to my Mac which has never had Tiddlywiki.  I went to my home directory and ran

• mkdir node_modules
• npm install tiddl...@5.1.21

• npm upgrade tiddl...@5.1.22
• node node_modules/tiddlywiki/tiddlywiki.js --version

and it outputs 5.1.21.

I don't know node or npm real well, but my *guess* is that something is wrong in the metadata for either 5.1.21 or 5.1.22.

You might try it on your system (if you have a linux or a Mac system) by doing a cd to a new directory, creating node_modules, doing a non-global install of 5.1.21 and then specifying and upgrade to 5.1.22.  I bet you'll find the same behavior.
