Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Odd. Thanks for reporting.

[node-red-contrib-uibuilder/uibuilder] TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received an instance of Array (line:393)

Looks like uibuilder managed to recover from that? Is it working?

No, the other flows disappear until I uninstall UIBuilder and restart.

4

OK, I will hunt that down and release an update.

Hi, I have just pushed an update to npm. If you update your installed uibuilder package from the Node-RED palette manager and restart Node-RED, you should be good to go.

It was fast, now I can load via palette manager, and remove it again, and load it again, and restart without problems.
In a week's time, I will go offgrid for a week, so there is time to sniff around UIBuilder.
Many thanks.
