Homebridge-config-ui-x: plugin doesn't update

[paqpaqpaq]

Since 4.5, whenever there's an update, homebridge more or less freezes at the plugin update screen. After about 15 minutes of no change, I press CLOSE.
The [UPDATE] button now disappears, but the plugin hasn't been updated though.
The plugin overview also displays the old version (still 4.5.0).
After a reboot, all remains the same.
Status: 4.5.0. up to date (currently it is 4.6.1. actually)

Ah I see the problem. This plugin does not work properly with Node.js versions lower than v8.15.3. Specifically the module used during the update process.

Ideally you should upgrade to Node.js 10, which is the current LTS version.

You will need to reinstall the plugin after updating:

# cleanup
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x

# reinstall
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x

And rebuild any other plugins:

cd $(npm -g prefix)/lib/node_modules
npm rebuild

On another pi (same setup) I have node 10.16
Same issue

Hi.
i have node 10.16 and my plugin do not update too (((

The error occurs at this point:
loadRequestedDeps: sill install loadAllDepsIntoIdealTree

Next, the system hangs a few tens of seconds and gives it:

`npm WARN tar zlib: unexpected end of file
npm ERR! code Z_BUF_ERROR
npm ERR! errno -5
npm ERR! zlib: unexpected end of file

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

The problem was never solved. To install the plug-in does not work!

Error code:
`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x

[..................] - loadRequestedDeps: sill install loadAllDepsIntoIdealTree
`

[paqpaqpaq]

is this issue still alive?
