Steve-Mcl - I tried the following:
Close and restart the port 1881 userdir
Refuse to install any palette nodes
Wipe out all the nodes except a ui-table
Assign the ui-table to a group and page
Success
Install xterm contributed palette node.
Strangely it has the same name as the ui-table node.
Ui-table node group and page cannot be changed.
Steps to resolve issue:
In a new node-red instance:
- Manually edit the flows.json saved file to remove the xterm configuration node and remove it from the list of nodes
- Import the saved file
- Allow node red to install all the palette nodes that are left
- Edit the ui-table node group and page
- Success!
Note - I only tried the xterm node because there was no convenient way to make a scrolling status screen from the output of the chip programming CLI from ST Micro. They insist on using ANSI escape codes to make a pretty colored screen on a terminal with a progress bar. But strangely I found an example from a Steve-Mcl A scrolling terminal display in dashboard 2 - Share Your Projects - Node-RED Forum
I was able to add colors to that using ansiUp and changing the terminal to accept HTML. So I don't need xterm and I'm glad to see it go if it is going to conflict with dashboard 2. Thanks, Steve-Mcl!
