Oh dear, so I have just updated the node-red-dashboad node (I only wanted a GUI spacer !!?!) from the palette manager and all the GUI nodes are now missing from the palette after a few restarts, and the designer is not happy:
I cant remove it from the palette as it says its all in use, and I dont want to start remove all GUI nodes & start from scratch.
I have tried stopping Node Red, then command
**npm uninstall node-red-dashboard**
then Node Red start and it still seems to be looking for the modules on startup:
I think I have saved all flows by just CTRL-A, export, then select all flows (I really hope I have !).
Help !
Thanks ☹

Why don't you install dashboard again and restart node red?
- CD into your .node-red directory
- `npm install node-red-dashboard`
- Restart node red
- Refresh browser.
- Not likely but if necessary, re-import your flow & deploy

You also have some potentially serious errors at and off the top of the screen in your screenshot.

Which version of node.js are you running ? Latest versions of dashboard (and Node-RED) require nodejs v8 or better.
(10 preferred, but 12 also OK)

Hi folks. Thanks for the advice. In the end I did a full Pi update overnight and it came good. Must have been using some common library that needed updating.
Thanks !
Phew 🙂

@Colin Hi. Ah yes there are 2 nodes that never behaved, the WebhookRelay and he camera, should probably uninstall those. Cheer.
