Lost everything. Was trying to update the cronplus to the latest version but somehow managed to scr... it. Lost everything. I then imorted my backup from latest night as I do send backup to dropbox. But when I import the project and deploy it, most seems fine but nothing works. If I push on a injectnode I get the message: Error Node not deployed. And i also get the message tha chronplus is missing even if the latest version now is installed. What to do?
Simply install node-red-contrib-cron-plus from the palette manger.
As for "losing everything" - if you had asked on the forum we could have told you where to look (there is a single local backup of your flows, updated with each deploy - this will now be lost due to your actions)
Ok, but it all is in the backup from last night. So I think that will be fine if I can get things up running again. I have installed the cronplus again, but get some errors.
Last version of cronplus was 1.5.5
The "cannot get description from node-red" suggests that node red not actually running. Have you checked to see if node red is still running?? How do you launch node red from a command line? Are there any errors at the end?
removed the cronplus nodes as there is only a few of them, then everything except from cronplus is running. Removed cronplus and tried a reinstall, but then get this:
used the commandwindow on the raspberry pi itself. Works, but my card crashed so I am now on a new install and importing my backup. Had to reinstall a lot to the pallette but encounter a new problem.
Guess it has to do with my Home Assistant. Tried three different installs in the pallette but still the same.
Did I learn something? Hopefully! But I am extremely happy that I do have automatic backup to dropbox every night. Took a clean install, installed all missing contrib nodes, and then imported the flow. A little bit work with access keys but now everything is up running again. Note to self, make a note listing all contrib nodes in use. Thanks to everyone who replied in here.
If you backup everything in the .node-red directory except the node-modules folder, then to restore you just need to restore that directory, then go into the directory and run npm install
and it will install all the contrib nodes you had before.
