Unofficial thread for compatibility

[Andr]

So it was time to update MSR (and then HA but I got stuck here)
Can't figure out what I have missed.

My installed version of MSR was 22240.
Node.js is version 16.15.1

First I tried to update, following online manual.

||Download a Reactor distribution ZIP from https://reactor.toggledbits.com/download/ and place it in the folder above your existing reactor (runtime) directory.
Stop and remove any existing Reactor service:

cd \path\to\reactor
node tools\install_reactor_windows_service.js -u .
Remove any existing package-lock.json file from your Reactor directory.

Unzip the archive file and copy its contents over the contents of your existing Reactor install directory.
From the Reactor install directory, re-install/upgrade all package dependencies:

npm install --no-save --omit dev
If you are running Reactor as a Windows service, repeat those steps above.

Restart Reactor (restart the service).
Hard-refresh all browsers that are displaying Reactor content.||

I found several (maybe it was 3) package-lock.json and I deleted all I could search in reactor folder.
Unzip the new version and replaced old existing files.

Install the reactor service again by instructions.

||In a command prompt window, running as Administrator, change directory to your Reactor install directory.
Install the node-windows package as a global package (it must be global or the service will not work, and you must install the specific version provided by the command below):

npm uninstall node-windows
npm uninstall -g node-windows
npm install -g node-windows@1.0.0-beta.6
npm link node-windows
Run the script to install:

node tools\install_reactor_windows_service.js -i .||

So this failed. Service wont start.

Tried again.

Then deleted everything exept my config folder and did a new install.
Also downloaded 22310 again, but from "latest" build instead of "stable"
When running node app.js in command promt i get some kind of error message:

But I can't figure out what TypeError means?

Also, before I tried a new install, there apperd an warning when installing reactor service.

c:\reactor>npm install -g node-windows@1.0.0-beta.6
npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead.

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Run `npm audit` for details.

Running npm audit fix --force seems to broke something, because I could not install service after that.

c:\reactor>npm audit fix --force

I built a bare-metal only build 22238; download that and try it. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not run npm audit on Windows, you'll break the node-windows package and the service will not be installed. You must use exactly the version specified in the installation instructions right now.

@toggledbits said in Update from 22240 to 22310 failed. New Install also failed. (Windows):

Yes, that fixed it!
Awesome support as always!

@toggledbits, 22310 release notes are missing from the announcements?
