Upgrade v1.0.2 to v1.4.2

[Nicolas]

I'm doing something wrong, or an error is correct?

11/1 21:56:05 [67685] - info: Beginning database schema update
11/1 21:56:05 [67685] - error: [upgrade] NodeBB upgrade could not complete, as your database schema is too far out of date.
11/1 21:56:05 [67685] - error: [upgrade]   Please ensure that you did not skip any minor version upgrades.

Do I need to pull every minor version and run ./nodebb upgrade ?

@Nicolas yep

Oh boy. I am going to be in the same boat.

What is the best git command to get them?

You'll likely have to check out an earlier tag from git... going from v1.0.2 to v1.4.2? Yikes, what a jump!

From git, try git checkout v1.1.0, does that work? Upgrade.

Then repeat, substituting v1.2.0, then v1.3.0, and then finally git reset --hard HEAD again and upgrade once more from the latest commit.

@julian Thank you.

I have been updating my dev site periodically to test my customizations and plug-ins. I really should have been keeping my production updated a bit more. Oh well.

I thought minor version will be friendlier for the upgrades

[rod]

Good news is the incremental updates from v1.0.2 to v1.4.2 worked in my dev environment. I captured the few changes I will need to make when I do this in production. Which I should do this week.

Yeah one'd think... we're thinking of switching back to versioned branches again... v1.5.x and such.

[rod]

And finally upgraded to v1.4.2 for my production site.
