Solved Dark Mode (official module) activation error

[humptydumpty]

I just bought the officially released dark mode module but I'm getting an error when activating it. I tried a different browser in case it's a caching issue but no luck there. @nebulade @nebulon (btw, why two usernames?) I saw your comments upstream regarding this module. Does it work for you? Should I report this upstream?

Troubleshooting:

• I tried a different browser altogether in case it's caching issue.
• I deleted the dark mode folder, reinstalled, and tried reactivating (multiple times).

Cache cleared successfully.
Nothing to migrate.
Error occured creating [/app/code/public/modules/darkmode] symlink: symlink(): No such file or directory

I used rm -r -f /path/ to delete the darkmode folder in the following places:

/app/code/Modules/DarkMode
/app/data/public-modules

Then, installed and activated the Dark Mode module and it worked!

@humptydumpty yeah it just worked out of the box for me after putting the license key.

@nebulon In that case, I'll report upstream. Thanks!

@nebulon I'm using the File Manager to delete the dark mode folder in /app/data/Modules/darkmode

But there's a symlink that I can't delete in /app/data/public-modules/darkmode. Could this be the issue?

Upstream referenced this comment as a solution but using the file manager instead of SSH (should do the same trick right?) didn't work. https://github.com/freescout-helpdesk/freescout/issues/2240#issuecomment-1248148277

 tried simply SSH delete "/home/admin/domains/xxx/public_html/public/modules/darkmode" file and re-install the module. => Did not work.

Next I tried SSH delete "/home/admin/domains/xxx/public_html/public/modules/darkmode" file and activate it without re-install. => It worked!

I get the following:

Cache cleared successfully.
Module with the specified alias not found: darkmode

@humptydumpty I don't fully get the root cause, but I guess starting over is worth a try. Can you delete the symlink via the webterminal?

@nebulon what's the exact command I need to use?

The darkmode folder is deleted in app/data/modules/

I get a "Cloudron error" with no actual error details if I try to delete the symlink in

/app/data/public-modules/darkmode

[humptydumpty]

I used rm -r -f /path/ to delete the darkmode folder in the following places:

/app/code/Modules/DarkMode
/app/data/public-modules

Then, installed and activated the Dark Mode module and it worked!
