Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out how to make fs-file-lister to work, but it always return 0 even though there's a file named test.txt and a subfolder named dump in the folder I'm looking into. [firefox_G2fb9mjABP] [MobaXterm_Personal_20.6_9Qfw5FumTO] What am I doing wrong?

I'm new to NR and I'm dumb. I found out what was wrong. I had a brain fart. I forgot that I was feeding a pattern into the node, which I forgot to mention... My code was looking for a specific file and my brain only wanted to test the node. I have a function node that was feeding the fs-file-liste…

Even when I type *.* the result is still an empty array. Is there any dependencies?

A possible work-around: an Exec node to call find /home/pi/datalog -maxdepth 1 -type f and a Function to format it as an array var arr = msg.payload.split("\n"); if (arr[arr.length-1] === "") { arr.pop(); } msg.payload = arr; return msg; No idea if it will exhibit the same issue for you as f…

@el_pablo what version of NR and node.js are you running? (see startup log) what version of node-red-contrib-fs are you running? You can use the 'Manage Palette' from the hamburger menu (top right of the editor) to find out. what model Pi are you running? - Use 'cat /proc/device-tree/model' what o…

In addition to @zenofmud 's questions, how did you install node-red? Are you using a Docker or Home Assistant version for example?

My NR version is 1.3.5 and Node is v12.18.3 Node-red-contrib-fs is 1.4.1 Pi 3B rev 1.2 Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) @Colin I'm running NR on my raspberry-pi which is a standalone installation. Docker is not installed. I'm also running OctoPi on it to manage my 3D printer.

[image] el_pablo: I'm running NR on my raspberry-pi which is a standalone installation You didn't say how you installed node-red. Are you using the default install? That is out of date and you are using an old version of nodejs too. I suggest upgrading to the latest node-red using the reco…
