Flow disappeared but still working

General
1

I made a deploy and after that 2 flows dissapeared . The strange fact is that they seem to work perfectly in UI . Except that the Deploy button is no longer working . i am running node-red with pm2 but i dont know what that means . I attach what i see when i start node red .Please advise . An extra clue is that before the catastrophic deploying the vm NR is running on, had 97% RAM usage after the disappearence of the the flows i mentioned that RAM usage went down to 65 % but as i said the disappeared flows are still working.
Thanks

Open the editor and look at the bottom right and you should see four icons. Press the first one and what do you see?

3

i can see the flows in a micrography just like your image .

4

so that means you must have moved it. If you click on the image it should show up. You can then select all and move it to the top left so it will show up when you open the editor.

5

I didnt entioned that the flows i see if i press that button are not these flows i am looking for . These flows i can see there are the same with the flows already visible to me

6

How many tabs do you have? This micrography will be different on each tab.

If you export your entire flow and attach it to a reply (read this first), I'll import it and you can tell me where it is missing and I'll see what I find.

8

its the last part from that i v send

9

i noticed that when i exported all flows , parts of the missing flow are still in there in the code . Should i save delete everything and re - import??

10

Did you use the export option to create that file?

11

yes i used the export option

12

and is that the entire flow? because it will not import

13

these are all the flows . i will send again

14

Never mind, I did get it to import. What tab is the flow missing on?

15

the name of the tab is mqtt test and the name of the flow missing is "light"

16

now you imported did a flow named light appeared or no?

17

There is no tab in editor called 'mqtt test' or 'light'

There is a UI tab 'mqtt-test' but it has no groups or widgets in it.

18

If you go to the small Dashboard icon on the right of the screen then ---> layout it shoud list all the tabs and the groups . There it have to be located a Tab named mqtt test with groups named bedroom 1 bedroom 2 . D y confirm?

19

oh you answered before i ask :slight_smile: . It is strange groups in the mqtt test are visible for me . Anyway i think i have screw it up . I may have to build from scratch :face_vomiting:

20

If you have a editor tab called 'light'

  1. click on it
  2. go to 'Export'
  3. select 'current flow'
  4. download to a file

is there naything in the file?

21

What d you mean by editor TABS . Do you mean the different flows on the top of the screen of editors workspace?
