Error in device's plugin tab about meshcentral-filedistribution HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @hchkim,

I'm having trouble replicating the exact issue, but while testing it does look like a prior pull request to MeshCentral caused an issue with newly installed or removed plugins. I've submitted a PR for that here.

Your particular error makes me believe the database was not loaded.

1. Does the issue persist if you restart your MeshCentral server?
2. If 1 does not solve the issue, can you confirm that the db.js file exists in your /meshcentral-data/plugins/filedist/ folder?

Thank you.

Thank you for reply. I found a solution.
I just commented "require ('promise')" in the /meshcentral-data/plugins/filedist/db.js file. I guess it caused by nodejs version difference.

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind, what is your Node version so I can test / update the code accordingly? Thank you.

OK. Thank you.
It runs on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

$ node -v
v10.16.3

I got the "same" error. I use the docker deployment for meshcentral with the official container image.

In my case the error is only in the mesherrors.txt and the plugin tab only shows Internal Server Error.

there in no promise requirement to comment out anymore. Since I have no skills when it comes to JS I am not seeing the underlying issue here
