[tw5] Tiddlywiki 5.3.0 failed to start after upgrade

Greetings,

I’ve upgraded a nodejs installation from 5.2.7 to 5.3.0.
Now the instance fails to start due to an error in a plugins

tiddlywiki[21557]: Error executing boot module $:/plugins/felixhayashi/vis/vis.js: “Global assignment is not allowed within modules on node.”

I’d like to know how to remove the faulty plugins. I’ve check the documentation which talk about using the tiddlywiki.info file, but i can’t figure out which command to execute.

Any clue ?

Thank you

Sincerely

Hi Samir,
Sadly that’s a known issue, where v5.3.0 is overly strict with loading plugins.

There is an open issue at GitHub [BUG] NodeJS fails with "Global assignment is not allowed within modules on node." since v5.3.0 · Issue #7585 · Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub

It seems you will need to wait for v5.3.1 which will probably be needed sooner than later

So you should stay with your existing version for the time being.

Just an FYI, but I use a different viz plugin and it is working fine with 5.3.0:

Cheers,
Andrew
