    Strange. Are you running this in /app/data/plugins/<plugin-repo> ? Which should be a git repo (check for .git subfolder) ?

    @joseph said in Updating Plugins:

    /data/

    My bad. I was in app/code/.... Did not know the plugin exists in both locations.

    But unfortunately the git command still gives a fatal: not in a git directory even in the data subdirectory.

        Simple git commands (stauts & log, tested with and without sudo -u www-data) give:

        fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/app/data/plugins/discourse-translator'
        To add an exception for this directory, call:
        
                git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/plugins/discourse-translator
        

        When trying to solve the ownership with git config --add safe.directory /app/data/plugins/discourse-translator (with and without sudo -u www-data) I get :

        fatal: not in a git directory
        

        In the case of the translator plugin, I could maybe reinstall instead of update. As it is just a connection to a LibreTranslate instance. But that's probably not a solution for other plugins.

          mmm, I am stumped. Why would it say not a git directory . Is there no '.git' ? There is a /app/data/plugins/discourse-translator/.git right ?

            The issue is exactly the same in the /app/data/plugins/discourse-data-explorer directory.

            FYI, I recently pulled an update for my GravCMS and there sudo -u www-data git config --add safe.directory <theme/directory> + sudo -u www-data git pull worked as expected.

              As a test, I tried deleting the folder and installing the plugin anew following the steps in the documentation. The plugin (translator) was displayed correctly but not working for some reason (unable to detect the post language I guess). I finally restored a backup made just before this test.

                @mononym I can give this a try in a fresh install. What should I be testing after the post is installed?

                  I guess first one has to somehow install an old version of the discourse plugin. Mine, the discourse-translator plugin, is currently at commit eb55d60. I don't know git well enough to do that instead of a "regular" clone of the latest version. Thus, that differs a little from the Cloudron Discourse docs. Rebuild Discourse with the plugin.

                  Once done, navigate to the plugin folder, either in app/data/plugins/discourse-translator or app/code/plugins/discourse-translator, and try to git pull the latest version of the plugin. That's where it's stuck right now.

                    Still trying to solve this before Discourse rolls out the breaking UI changes... What would be the correct procedure to delete and reinstall a plugin ?

                      I think deleting the directory and restarting the app uninstalls the plugin. After that, you can reinstall it with https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/discourse/#installing-plugins

                        @joseph Perfect, thank you ! That did the job. And to my surprise, the settings (LibreTranslate API and URL) were still in place !
