Error: node not deployed - Cant delete the Error

General
1

I have a very simple flow.

[{"id":"39737b3.0628584","type":"debug","z":"66472984.929868","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":850,"y":120,"wires":}]

I have copied a flow somewhere with "mraa-gpio-dout" in it, I did not have the node installed.

I deployed the flow without installing the node.

Subsequently I have installed the node but

Keeps telling me -
Flows stopped due to missing node types.
mraa-gpio-dout

I have deleted the flow as well and tried to start and send messages, but it keeps telling me "Flows stopped due to missing node types. mraa-gpio-dout" and "Error: node not deployed"

Try (on commandline):

node-red-stop
node-red --safe

It will start node-red in safe mode, remove the nodes that give the problems, deploy.

If that does not help tell us how you have installed node-red and what hardware and operating system it is running.
Also post here the startup log that you see when starting node-red in a terminal. It should include the Welcome to node-red message.

Thanks,

Start up in safe mode log.

""pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node-red-stop

Stop Node-RED

Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node-red --safe

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.

I remove them - Deployed the flow

node-red-start - Started node red

Re-arranged my flow again

Hi,

This mraa-gpio-dout are back and causing trouble for me.

I have once again tried to node-red-stop and then node-red --safe then remove mraa-gpio-dout.

Any other advice?

To find more nodes and example flows - go to http://flows.nodered.org

node-red --safe

Then remove the nodes from your flows first.

I don't have the nodes "mraa-gpio-dout" in any flow

If you have not already done so, use the Search feature in node red to search for mraa.
If that doesn't find anything then in a terminal in the .node-red folder run
npm remove node-red-node-intel-gpio
And post the result here. Then restart node red and see what happens.

Thank you Colin, your help is appropriated

Is it fixed then? If so what did it?

I could not find it in the flow or node causing the trouble, also there were flow shown under "config" image
and not at the top of the flows image (I have subsequently delete them, you will only see the two now, I should have take screen shots to demonstrate prior of me deleting them)

I used Ctrl+f and searched for the nodes and flows that were not shown on the mail pallet and deleted them.

As you can see only the two flow I use now there and the rest deleted.

Think node-red got it self in a bit of a knot, as I have copied and pasted a lot of flow, experimenting on how thing work.
