fof/upload breaks site after upgrading flarum

caleb

The issue

After upgrading Flarum into 1.8.* my site stops fully loading. Instead, I see a bullet-list of the first page of discussions, and a message at the top of the site that reads:
Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site. Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error.

After disabling all extensions then enabling one-by-one, I found that FOF Upload was the culprit. I've dug around and haven't really found any websites, support pages, threads discussing this issue. Curious what folks can help with?

Sharing additional info below

I can share the debug log on request - figured 800+ lines would be a bit much to share. Interestingly, when attempting debug mode, the website would throw a 500 (separate issue seems to be happening with askvortsov-rich-text), but the log still exists in storage/logs

Thanks for any help and guidance!

caleb it seems to work for me now, did you fix it?

Usually what you need to do is run

php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

And the possibly restart your webserver (if your php uses opcache) while also clearing your browser cache.

I previously have run those lines before, I'll run them again to be safe (and check all boxes).

How do I go about restarting the webserver?
sudo systemctl restart nginx ?

luceos

caleb with nginx you probably need to restart php-fpm instead.

Also (due to little kids in the background) I am forgetting that I'm on a managed service and don't have sudoer access to restart the server 😛 So I am expecting to get a ping from my provider any moment now 🙂

luceos

caleb they usually don't run opcache because of this though. Just updating and running the commands should be fine on any managed hosting service.

🫢 been there, done that; you're doing great.

caleb

Haha thanks for the understanding there. My sysadmin was also understanding, and incidentally restarted the PHP and web services for me. Sadly, this didn't resolve the issue for me yet.

I attempted removing and reinstalling the extension - which didn't work either. For reference, I performed these actions:

composer remove fof/upload
composer require fof/upload "*"
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clea

Interestingly, I'm noticing that the version of the extension on my site is 1.2.3, but the project is itself listing the latest version as 1.6.1 - I'm not sure why the latest doesn't seem to install.
