The 2026.4.21 version upgrade failed again. After the upgrade, Openclaw couldn't run. After installing npm install -g @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk, Openclaw could run, but WeChat could not be used. What a garbage software! It crashes every time I upgrade it.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be fixed by reinstalling the @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk package after upgrading OpenClaw to version 2026.4.21.

Guidance

  • The error message indicates that the @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk module is not found, which is required by OpenClaw.
  • Running npm install -g @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk installs the missing module, but it's unclear if this is a temporary workaround or a permanent fix.
  • To verify the fix, try running openclaw gateway restart after reinstalling the @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk package.
  • If the issue persists, try running openclaw doctor --fix to repair the configuration.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to package installation and configuration.

Notes

The issue may be related to a version compatibility problem between OpenClaw and the @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk package. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reinstall the @larksuiteoapi/node-sdk package after upgrading OpenClaw to version 2026.4.21, as it seems to resolve the immediate issue, but be aware that this might not be a permanent fix and the root cause should be investigated further.
