Description

I read the previous bug about this, when upgrading to v6.1.14 and the issue still persists for v6.1.15 (tried both). I use a upgrade script I have created that basically do a clean installation (and copies .env and storage to the new location), but both versions fail to upgrade. If I'm logged in while doing the upgrade the session works, but the login page trow error 500.

I'm sorry, I still have no solution. Are you also running Firefly III in a subdirectory?

[zynexiz]

No, i'm running it directly thru a subdomain I configured.

[JC5]

Could you share with me (over mail) your configuration and webserver configuration?

james@firefly-iii.org

[zynexiz]

Is it the .env file you thinking of for the configuration?

[BoGnY]

try deleting vite manifest file and rebuilt it.
manifest searchs an old path that not exists (resources/assets/v2/sass/app.scss) but the correct path is resources/assets/v2/src/sass/app.scss...

have you extracted archive as noted here?? starting from 6.1.13 git pull can't be used.. I've made a similar error because I use an upgrade script as you and I haven't updated it the first time 😞

😄

[JC5]

Yes. But also whichever webserver is in front of Firefly III

[mvanrompuy]

Also willing to help with providing info. Running firefly from a subdomain served over nginx.

Same issue: 6.1.13 worked, 6.1.15 doesn't on my desktop browser, I'm referred to the login page and I get the above mentioned error.

I still have a valid session on my phone, there 6.1.15 works..

[JC5]

Same question to you. I have a hard time replicating this. Could you share with me (over mail) your Firefly III configuration (docker compose file, .env file, etc) and your webserver configuration?

james@firefly-iii.org

[zynexiz]

Yes. But also whichever webserver is in front of Firefly III

Sorry for the late response, been knocked out for some days with the flue here. I'll strip some info from the .env and send it to you. I'm running Apache on Arch Linux (no docker or reverse proxy).

[zynexiz]

Btw, here's the script I created for updating the application (some paths revoked). Worked really good until now :)

#!/bin/bash

# If not user http, run it as that user
if [ $USER != "http" ]; then
  SELF_NAME=`basename $0`
  SELF_PATH=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))
  sudo -u http "$SELF_PATH/$SELF_NAME"
  exit
fi

# Get latest version of firefly
latestversion=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/releases/latest  | grep -oP '"tag_name": "\K(.*)(?=")')
installedversion=`cat <path to http root>/firefly-iii/version`

if [ $installedversion == $latestversion ]; then
  echo 'Already latest version ('$installedversion')'
  exit
fi

echo 'Version '$installedversion' installed, new version '$latestversion

# Download and unpack the new version and copy files from old instance
cd <path to http root>
echo -n 'Downloading and unpacking Firefly III version '$latestversion'... '
wget -q https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/releases/download/$latestversion/FireflyIII-$latestversion.zip
unzip -q -o FireflyIII-$latestversion.zip -d ./firefly-iii-update
cp firefly-iii/.env firefly-iii-update/.env
cp -r firefly-iii/storage ./firefly-iii-update
echo "done."

# Install latest version
cd firefly-iii-update
php artisan migrate --seed
php artisan firefly-iii:decrypt-all
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan firefly-iii:upgrade-database
php artisan firefly-iii:laravel-passport-keys
php artisan cache:clear

cd ..
# Remove old version of firefly-iii
if [ -d "firefly-iii-old" ]; then
  rm -r firefly-iii-old
fi

# Serve the new version
mv firefly-iii firefly-iii-old
mv firefly-iii-update firefly-iii
rm FireflyIII-$latestversion.zip

echo $latestversion | tee /srv/http/firefly-iii/version > /dev/null

[JC5]

Mmm. Thanks for your config files.

An alternative solution, clear your browser cache of browse to your-firefly-iii.com/build/manifest.json and do a hard refresh (ctrl F5 usually does it).

[zynexiz]

As I wrote in the mail, I have set Firefox (or well, LibreWolf really) to clear the browser when i close it. So I don't really think it's on the browser side in this case. Also get the same error when trying Falkon browser.

[zynexiz]

One odd think I just noticed is this line in the logs; [2024-04-25 12:53:43] local.ERROR: Exception is: {"class":"Illuminate\\View\\ViewException","errorMessage":"Unable to locate file in Vite manifest: resources\/assets\/v2\/sass\/app.scss.

Seems to think that resources/assets/v2/sass/app.scss don't exists. But when looking it does exist in my file system, so I'm not sure why it throws this error really.

[JC5]

Exactly, nor do I. But we'll get to the bottom of this!

[JC5]

That error is especially weird since there is NO reference to that path in v2/error.blade.php.

Sorry, I have to ask. Are you sure you've copied over all the files correctly?

[zynexiz]

Exactly, nor do I. But we'll get to the bottom of this!

Oh, I think I might have looked for the path on the old installation. I just updated it again, and now the path don't exist at all.

I actually redo the installation completely (if you look at the script). I don't reuse any old code, just download the zip-file and unpack it, copy .env and data to the new path. Might be something missing the zip-file?

[EDIT]
Looked at the new error.blade.php, and it actually points to @Vite(['src/sass/app.scss']). I tried restarting the web server completely, feels like some caching issue actually. But got the same issue, gonna look deeper into why this is the case.

This is indeed what I'm seeing as well. There's an intermediate 'src' folder that is different from the path in the error log.

[zynexiz]

Thats the weird part, looking in the error.blade.php, it doesn't have that path anymore so I'm not sure whats going on. I use Redis cache, so that might be a part of the issue. I'm looking into it now.

[EDIT]
Clearing Redit cache didn't fix it, must be something else.....??

I had to check, but in both zip files the file is there. There is a notable difference between .13 and .15, which is the manifest result path:

However, I'm not yet sure why these are so different, or rather: why it's a problem.

I saw the difference to, but that shouldn't trow this error. I looked in the new file, and the new path is indeed there. But the error in the logfile points to the old path which don't make any cense at all IMO.

[JC5]

Mmmm, php artisan cache:clear should catch it, but what happens when you do php artisan view:clear?

[zynexiz]

php artisan view:clear

You are kidding me! That worked 😄
Need to add that to my script! Nice catch :)

What's the difference between view:clear and cache:clear?

[JC5]

I have no clue, I thought they would be the same! :D I shall update the documentation right away!

[zynexiz]

Apparently they do something different haha.. I added that line to my script, and now the update works smooth again :)

[JC5]

Nice, thanks for helping me find this. The documentation is updated and a new run should put it online in a few mins.

@mvanrompuy, let me know if this works for you as well.

[mvanrompuy]

Not at home, but just tried a new session on my phone. Seems to fix it for me as well. 😄 Thanks for spending the time on figuring this out!

NP :) Glad to help. If you want you can provide my update script to update it a bit smoother. Can make some changes to provide variables to the www root in that case.
