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-x64show? We don’t use this dependency directly so it might be coming from a plugin. -

Do you get a stacktrace of this crash when you run the upgrade? What plugins are active on your forum? You can run
./nodebb pluginsto find out. -
I am getting:

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

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