After upgrading from 4.27 to 4.29 by 'openclaw update', it takes about 5 mins for the automatic doctor post installation diagnosis, and 'openclaw status' shows the follwoing message after the 1st post-installation run; 执行 openclaw update 从 4.27 升级到 4.29 后,安装后的自动诊断(doctor)流程大约耗时 5 分钟。在首次安装后运行时,openclaw status 会显示以下错误信息:

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by reinstalling the required dependencies for the channels.

Guidance

  • The error messages indicate that the channels are failing to load due to missing dependencies, such as discord-api-types/v10, nostr-tools, @slack/web-api, and grammy.
  • The provided instructions to install these dependencies using npm install may not be effective due to the channels being bundled with OpenClaw.
  • Try reinstalling OpenClaw and then run the npm install command to ensure all dependencies are installed correctly.
  • Verify that the channels are working properly after reinstalling the dependencies by running openclaw status and checking the output.

Example

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

Notes

The issue may be related to the upgrade process from version 4.27 to 4.29, and the bundled channels may not be compatible with the new version. Further investigation may be required to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reinstall OpenClaw and dependencies, as the issue is likely related to the upgrade process and dependency installation.
