The SelfUpdater's getLocalVersion() used __dirname to find package.json
and VERSION, but server.js loads the module via './src/docker/self-updater'
so __dirname resolves to /app/src/docker inside the container — which
has no package.json. Result: /api/v1/system/version silently returned
{version: '0.0.0', commit: null} and checkForUpdate() always thought we
were outdated.
Walk a candidate list of paths (api root first, __dirname second) so the
function works regardless of where the module is required from. Log to
stderr on total failure instead of swallowing silently.
Verified on DNS2: /api/v1/system/version now returns
{"name":"DashCaddy","version":"1.14.8","commit":"fef7e07"}
(v1.14.8 with the security fixes DC-020..032).
The refactor(desloppify) commit a2e6566 deleted license-keygen.js and added it
to .gitignore, believing it was stale dev-root noise. It is actually a required
production module: src/managers/license-manager.js does require('./license-keygen')
and imports verifyCode/parseCode/VALID_DURATIONS. The deletion put the production
dashcaddy-api container in a crash-restart loop (MODULE_NOT_FOUND from
/app/src/app.js -> /app/server.js). The 1036-test suite passed because no test
ever executed require() on the real app module.
Fixes:
- Restore license-keygen.js from git history (a2e6566^) to src/managers/, the
path the post-DC-005 require resolves to. CLI main() is require.main-guarded,
so only the library exports are used at runtime.
- Remove the license-keygen.js line from .gitignore so the restored module is
tracked (otherwise the fix would not survive a container rebuild).
- Fix a second masked broken require: src/docker/self-updater.js required
'./platform-paths' (resolves to src/docker/, doesn't exist) -> corrected to
'../../platform-paths' (repo root, where all 9 other callers point).
- Add .encryption-key to .gitignore (runtime AES secret that the require graph
regenerates; was untracked + un-ignored -> latent leak on git add -A).
- Add __tests__/app-startup-smoke.test.js: executes require() on the real app
module and asserts the full require graph resolves. This regression guard
would have caught both broken requires.
Verified: app module now loads clean; 1038/1038 tests pass (+2 new); the smoke
test fails if either required module is missing.
After the DC-005 module reorganization (41 files moved into src/ subdirs),
138 test suites failed because the refactor script's path-rewrite logic
missed three categories:
1. Files inside src/ doing 'require("./src/...")' — should be 'require("../...")'
2. Files in src/X/Y/ doing 'require("../../../src/...")' — should be 'require("../../...")'
3. Test files in __tests__/ with leftover 'require("../../../src/...")' paths
Root cause: the original refactor script ran before all files were moved,
so it computed relative paths against stale filesystem state.
Result:
- 30/30 test suites pass
- 879/879 tests pass (was: 18/30 suites, 614/687 tests)
Also fixed:
- routes/apps/restore.js: wrong responses import path
- routes/*/*.js: '../../src/utilities/X' → '../src/utilities/X' (depth 2 routes)
