Upgrade form 3.x to 4.x

[hermes@community.nodebb.org]

Hi!
I am facing an issue during upgrading NodeBB from version 3 to 4.
During upgrade I am getting: error: uncaughtException: Cannot find module "resvg-js-freebsd-x64"

It seems that something is wrong - I have added manually this "missing" package to package.json, and after the "nodebb upgrade" command, my changes are overwritten (the added package is deleted).

Even if I put this package directly to node_modules same result...

Thanks in advance.

What does running npm ls resvg-js-freebsd-x64 show? We don't use this dependency directly so it might be coming from a plugin.

[hermes@community.nodebb.org]

baris
npm ls resvg-js-freebsd-x64

Do you get a stacktrace of this crash when you run the upgrade? What plugins are active on your forum? You can run ./nodebb plugins to find out.

I am getting:

<~/domains/.../public_nodejs>$ ./nodebb plugins

What happens when you try npm i @resvg/resvg-js-freebsd-x64 and try it again? This sounds like a freebsd issue

Hello, unfortunately I can confirm this is also happening when performing a new installation.
The problem seems to be that @resvg/resvg-js is providing recent binaries only for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android.
This is only happening with the nodebb 4.x releases - everything's building fine with the 3.x

I'm going to try to compile the resvg-js for FreeBSD and see what will happen.

[draga79@community.nodebb.org]

I see this:
https://github.com/thx/resvg-js/pull/5

I think some of the dependencies require resvg-js but it'wrorking only on Linux, Android, Windows, MacOS.
This means that nodebb 4.x will currently run only on those OSes - do you think there could be a way to remove the resvg-js dependency?

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

draga79 interesting... I wonder why FreeBSD support was removed.

[draga79@community.nodebb.org]

julian It seems they just thought that "almost nobody was using it", so they decided to remove the support. This breaks the compatibility with lots of programs as many depend on resvg-js. And many are forced to use Linux because of this, but I think that OS monoculture is extremely dangerous, even if it's an Open Source OS.

[hermes@community.nodebb.org]

julian do you see any solution?

[baris@community.nodebb.org]

We removed resvg dependecy so the next patch version should work. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13534

[hermes@community.nodebb.org]

baris lovely! Thanks!

baris awesome work as always!
