In an effort to minimize thread crap, and keep unique issues in unique threads, I present to you another issue with the WebUI dropping after an update.
In our case, we have the following output when trying to run composer_wrapper.php
[Composer\Repository\InvalidRepositoryException]
Invalid repository data in /opt/librenms/vendor/composer/installed.json, packages could not be loaded: [Seld\JsonLint\ParsingException] "/opt/librenms/vendor/composer/installed.json" does not contain valid JSON

Did you have the same issue? Re-installing everything seems to be akin to using a pile driver when all I need is a pin hammer, especially when 1) everything had been installed from the initial deployment and 2) something specific to the last update broke it.

Fortunately I took a snapshot prior to installing/upgrading the other packages referenced here. I’ll more than likely revert. But in either case, needless to say it’s still an issue.
One additional piece to note, in this instance, said json file is empty. I’ve seen other references to that, but not necessarily specific to Libre.
As for the suggestion of whacking the /vendor directory, what is the thought behind that? Given the error, could the file be (re)moved? I appreciate it might cascade to other issues, hence the suggestion, and I’m all for the suggestions, but I’d like to understand the reasoning behind them.
More importantly, what happened/changed in this latest update that seems to have caused all these issues for a few folks.
Ran this command “./composer_wrapper.php install --no-dev” and got this below. My instance has been running fine until today.
Problem 1
- Installation request for erusev/parsedown 1.7.1 → satisfiable by erusev/parsedown[1.7.1].
- erusev/parsedown 1.7.1 requires ext-mbstring * → the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
Problem 2
- Installation request for laravel/framework v5.4.36 → satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.4.36].
- laravel/framework v5.4.36 requires ext-mbstring * → the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
Problem 3
- laravel/framework v5.4.36 requires ext-mbstring * → the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
- oriceon/toastr-5-laravel dev-master requires illuminate/session >=5.0.0 → satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.4.36].
- Installation request for oriceon/toastr-5-laravel dev-master → satisfiable by oriceon/toastr-5-laravel[dev-master].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
Ok. So instead of removing all under /vendor… I moved the installed.json file and then re-ran the composer_wrapper script and was met with similar results as mentioned above…

Re-ran the composer_wrapper script once more…

…then restarted php and all became well once again.
So…why?! What happened to the update that caused the json file to be empty to begin with? And why are the dependencies not apparently updating?
The password in the .env file was set wrong. My password has an $ in some part, everything after this character was not there, everything before was there.

Also If I run

It just tells me to run ./scripts/composer_wrapper.php install --no-dev and I get the same error as above.
