Dashboard Edit does not pop up

General

Dear all!

When I click on the area to show the dashboard editing palette … it does not appear

Not shown, not selected from NR . (Therefore, I put it under category General).

Everthing else does appear properly. Click: selected, shown; click again: unselected not shown.

I can not edit the dashboard anymore. Neither Firefox nor Safari.

Any idea how to rectify this?

Cheers, Uwe

Quick update: This behaviour survived a re-install of NR on the Pi.

Does it appear if you enable the left hand panel too? The second button from the right.

If not, can you show us a full window snapshot after you have selected it please.

I click the area , it gets kind of grey. Nothing happens. Neither on the left nor on the right panel.

Are there any errors shown if you open the Browser Developer Tools, refresh the page and click the button?

Can you stop and restart node red and post the startup log here please. If it is a conventional pi install then use

node-red-stop
node-red-start

… looks normal. Used to work before.
http://192.168.0.34:1880/ui gives Cannot GET /ui (used to work before)

Browser Error

TypeError: can't access property "length", s is undefined background.js:1:75848

For D2 it is http://192.168.0.34:1880/dashboard

Does the browser error appear when you click the button?

Upps , but no:

The browser does not open when I click down there. It is suppose to open when I want it to open in the palette. However, there is no palette.

It sounds like there is something wrong with the dashboard install. In the .node-red folder delete the node_modules folder then, in that folder run
npm install
That will re install all the additional nodes. Restart node red and see if that fixes it.

@duaw can you try dragging a dashboard node into the workspace first (assuming you haven't yet), then try opening the dashboard sidebar? I had seen issues opening the dashboard sidebar if there are absolutely no dashboard nodes (including the underlying config nodes) yet added.

11

did that : no fix.

12

Did that: no fix
The other tabs have (previously well configured and working) uis.

The moment I click to show the DB2 palette the browser logs that error

TypeError: can't access property "length", s is undefined 3 [background.js:1:75848]

13

Do you know what happened between it working and not working?

14

Not exactly. Nothing earth shattering. I asked for a test my best buddy to create a flow, importet it. Nothing special.

15

Did you install any new nodes?

16

no. i did not.
