[WIP] update to [email protected]

[mixmix]

I want to use scuttle-shell, I couldn't get it running so this is an incremental step - bring the server version into alignment.

[mixmix]

Here are the current errors I'm hitting when I npm start.
I've looked through the files in the stack trace but I don't know what I'm looking for... I think the server isn't starting right and my guess is because it's not getting the config it wants?
(I also noticed ssb-client has some really old deps. Probably not related, but made a PR)

Can you post your ~/.ssb/config?

[cryptix]

Hrm.. the config.js might need a server:true on the unix socket to get this working but I wonder how it worked before.... I'll try this later on a clean install.

related:

• How should the server option be used? multiserver#33
• TypeError: proto.server is not a function ssb-server#577
• add test for unix-socket plugin multiserver#34

I think the problem is happening in the config merging:

• Throws error: https://github.com/fraction/minimal-ssb-server/blob/master/index.js
• No problem: https://github.com/fraction/minimal-ssb-server/blob/working-ssb-server/index.js

(diff)

And, config JSON diff (additions cause breakage):

[christianbundy]

Just pushed a commit adding server: true and it seems to be working now. Force-pushed because I'd accidentally pushed a merge commit as well.

[mixmix]

mixmix  » cat ~/.ssb/config
{
  "plugins": {
    "ssb-npm-registry": false
  }
}

I knew it was possible for things in here to sneak in so went and gutted it some time ago!

[mixmix]

Cool, yeah that get's me past the server.proto error (btw how did you figure that out @christianbundy ... did you read all the links @cryptix left?)

Now on to this error, which @arj03 says is in ssb-db : #295 (comment)

@mixmix

Yeah, I saw ssbc/ssb-server#577 describing a problem so I opened ssbc/multiserver#33 to request some documentation, and I think ssbc/multiserver#34 adds test coverage that shows that server: true is required now but nobody knows how to use it or why server must be truthy (I think it's meant to be an object (?)).

[mixmix]

This is working now. I'm going to merge it.

People pulling and installing will get the fresh ssb-db, but if you've been messing with this, check your ssb-db is at 18.6.4 !

(trashing your node_modules and lockfile is a fine way to fix it, or npm update ssb-db --depth 2 probably?)

[mixmix]

Thanks for the help everyone, this was a surprisingly delightful experience, I felt really supported and totally unblocked cc @christianbundy @cryptix @arj03
