Lost Basic-Pallete Nodes

General
1

Greetings

I have 'lost' a number of basic nodes from the initial NR install set, all related to http-request etc. I do have backups and can reinstall, but that won't help me to learn either the source of the problem or methodology to cure.

If I go to manage the palette, the basic node-red node (0.20.2) shows a red error triangle and the term "[object Object]". Looking at the list of individual nodes within the group shows a number that have 'marching ants' around their symbol; all of these are missing from the general node-red palette. Most are related to HTTP Requests but also MQTT Broker.

Any hints would be gratefully received.

Tom

Did you follow the upgrade procedure as described in:
https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/upgrading

Hi Colin

Yes. Initially I had a wider issue with NR. Running the re-istallation process (on a Rpi) got me back up and running, albeit with the missing nodes issue.

Did you use the bash <(curl script?

Show us the output you get from

node-red-stop
node-red

Copy/paste it rather than screenshot if possible please

Thanks Colin... Start and Stop outputs follow....

pi@Burrow : ~/.node-red $ node-red-stop

Stop Node-RED

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

pi@Burrow : ~/.node-red $

pi@Burrow : ~/.node-red $ node-red

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.
