[jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu]

If that's NodeBB 4.3.0 already, I think I've spotted a bug: BBcode mostly goes out as BBcode instead of converted into HTML which would then be rendered accordingly.

Here on Hubzilla, in-line code and code blocks are rendered as such. But at least headlines, lists, images, quotes and links aren't; instead, I see the raw BBcode with no formatting. Hubzilla uses BBcode for formatting itself, but internally, and it doesn't expect BBcode to come in via ActivityPub.

[esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club]

@julian I'm not sure if you know about this, but your entire post appears both as a content warning and the expanded post, both contain the exact same text. Is that issue known? btw, I'm on go to social, so perhaps that could be a factor too?

@sweetp@community.nodebb.org same error here

[baris@community.nodebb.org]

Those having an issue with eslint, can just remove the node_modules folder in their nodebb folder and run ./nodebb upgrade again.

[baris@community.nodebb.org]

Do you have eslint-config-airbnb-base in your package.json? We don't use that dependency anymore so it shouldn't be in package.json.

@baris nope:

Try removing package-lock.json as well see what happens.

npm r eslint-config-airbnb-base
npm r eslint-config-nodebb
rm package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules/
npm i

For me this was enough to upgrade my test installation.

rm package-lock.json
