This seems to have broken the drop-down menus. On GH and the Ares Demo.

Did you run the database migrator? I forgot to do that on Ares Demo, so the menu was still using the old menu names. (page instead of route)

4

Actually I see the problem. I hadnā€™t forgotten to run the migrator, but the upgrade/finish is missing a load config step after the migrator is finished. Iā€™ll fix that for the future. For now, though, doing load config should fix you up.

I think I mentioned the cookie/here-cookie/scene thing, didnā€™t I? But mostly, thank you for the change! :slight_smile:

(A way to tell it to cookie anyone who joins later too would still be cool, but I can understand that being a pain since itā€™d have to keep track somehow.)

Oops - so you did. I corrected the release notes, thanks. (3-letter R name mixup :slight_smile: )

I understand the desire for cookie-ing proactively, but as you say - thatā€™s just kind of problematic to implement. MUSH commands are instantaneous. To code one with memory for something it needs to do in the future would be a big pain, and - frankly - more trouble than cookies are worth. You can always cookie/scene a second time if somebody else joins to catch any stragglers.

So Iā€™ve upgraded a game to .51 and most of the menu drop downs are broken. Ran ā€˜load configā€™ did not help. The Admin menu works fine so I checked the website config file and all the names have been changed to ā€˜routeā€™. I changed one back to ā€˜pageā€™ and now the drop down menu works fine.

10

Oddly I upgraded a second game and everything works fine there. :confused:

11

The names were supposed to be changed to route. Are you sure your web portal was upgraded to 51 and not just the game? You might need to do a force-refresh in the browser to get the latest javascript reloaded.

12

I have force refreshed it and tried it on different browsers and different computers. The portal is still listed as version V0.48 thoughā€¦

13

Iā€™ve upgraded 3 different ares games and had 3 different results. All were from version .50.

1: Worked just fine. Game and portal both .51
2: Game updated but web portal did not.
3: Neither the game or the web portal will update.

If it helps when I run website/deploy I get this message.

Done!

Iā€™ve tried updating Yarn but it says itā€™s up to date.

14

It sounds like youā€™re having some kind of NPM (which is used by yarn) permission error. Thatā€™s a server-side issue thatā€™s not really Ares specific. Not sure what could have caused it.

There are a variety of things you can try. Iā€™d probably start with rebooting the server (not the game, the server itself) and if that doesnā€™t help you can try running yarn cache clean from your ares-webportal directory.

15

I still canā€™t get it to work. I recently upgraded to ubuntu 18.04, might that have something to do with it?

16

Ares works fine on 18.04, but itā€™s possible that the upgrade messed with something in your paths or permissions or something like that. Itā€™s Digital Oceanā€™s upgrade scripts, so Iā€™m afraid I really donā€™t know the specifics of what it does to the server.

The fsevent warnings are normal. It seems that your real error is this one: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ā€˜/home/ares/ares-webportal/node_modules/tap-parser/node_modules/js-yaml If clearing the yarn cache didnā€™t help, you can also try just removing the node_modules directory entirely to let yarn start fresh.

cd ares-webportal
rm -rf node_modules
yarn install
17

Nope, same thing. Even tried creating an entirely new droplet and installing Ares fresh to see if I could just restore from a backup and the new install wouldnā€™t even launch. Got an error when trying to load the game.

My eyes are starting to cross so Iā€™m gonna take a break and hit it fresh again in a few hours. Thanks for the help.

18

You got the same permission error even when node_modules wasnā€™t even there? That seems strange. Or was it a different error? Are you sure youā€™re running everything with the ares user and not root?

19

Definitely doing it as ares and not root. This is what I get when I try to install ares on a fresh droplet with Ubuntu.

20

OK thatā€™s a different error than what you were getting before. That one means that either:

a) The game is already running (seems unlikely in your case but I figured Iā€™d mention it) or
b) The hostname that youā€™ve entered in server.yml is not accessible by the droplet. Typically this happens when the DNS hasnā€™t been updated yet or the IP is incorrect, which could be happening because youā€™ve moved to a new droplet.
