You can search for the node id (`b1c8e3...`) using ctrl-f.

@knolleary showing bunch of telegram nodes does that mean they all are causing that error ?

Do they all use the same underlying config node? If so it is that which is generating the error.

The top in the list is the config node that is logging the error. The others are nodes that use the config node.

So yes, it looks related to the Telegram config node.

Hi @kurtufiyde,

I had also that issue some time ago. But my tip is only valid if you are developing your own Node-RED nodes (or perhaps using a node that is not correctly developed ...).

I had a copy-paste error in one of my own custom nodes, i.e. my on-close event handler had a `msg` input parameter:

After removing that parameter, the problem was solved. If that is not the case here, this tip might perhaps help other users in the future when reading this....
