Rocket.chat: Snap: missing .node_version.txt file

[scjudd]

So, I've installed Rocket.Chat via snap install rocketchat-server, and it appears the latest release (444) won't start up. If I revert to the previous release with snap revert rocketchat-server, everything comes up fine.

It looks like a /snap/rocketchat-server/444/.node_version.txt file is trying to be opened, but it doesn't exist.

This is kind of annoying, because it automatically updated to this revision and took our chat server offline while I was away from the computer.

@ParkerMc / @scjudd I apologize for the inconvenience. I've pushed out a build to fix this straight to the stable channel. Revision 446.

Also #5740 will close this issue for good.

Thanks for your patience and for reporting it :+1:

Rocket is back now thanks for the fix.
For those who wonder, just issue a

snap refresh rocketchat-server
systemctl restart snap.rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server

[ParkerMc]

Thank you for the quick fix!

@ParkerMc No problem :) We've implemented some safe guards to hopefully prevent a bad release from coming out like that again.

Thanks for your patience!
