I have a quick question for you - maybe someone already had the same problem...!
I regularly use the debug Node and search for a variable in a XML file to copy the path. In the beginning this worked great, now it doesn't work at all. I can pin the value but cannot copy the value or the path. When I click the corresponding button my clipboard remains empty...
Restart of server does not help..
Just to start establishing things, what happens if you have a nominal web page open and drag select some text then press ctl <c> (copy) then open a note pad type program and paste?
Next, try a node-red screen and with the debug window as show, select some/any text from there and copy (ctl <c>) it and see if you can paste it.
Have you recently upgraded your node-red to the 2.1.5 version ?
If yes .. It is a known issue that copy to clipboard doesnt work if you are accessing your node-red server without localhost (if you are on the same computer) or without https.
The gatekeepers have knowledge of it and it will be fixed in the new release.

copying text works in both cases you mentioned. I guess the error pattern mentioned by UnborN applies to me. I have NodeRed running as an add-on in HomeAssistant (newest version), which is why the version seems to be labeled in a different way.
Hello Unborn,
thank you for your solution. That is exactly what applies to me. I have NodeRed running in HomeAssistant as an add-on. Is it possible to simply downgrade to V 2.1.4 here? Alternatively - when should we expect 2.1.6?
I dont think its worth downgrading .. as Knolleary said a new version is coming today .. so keep an eye on the node-red forum for its release and then ask in the Home-Assistant Forum to update their add-on.
