Hey,

I created new nodes for OPC UA. Now I would like to test them, but they are not visible in the palette on the left side. In the html-File I created a new category, but I can´t see this new category. But when I take a look in the palette, where I can manage my nodes, I am able to see them. But the only option I have is to enable/disable them.

Do I have to publish the nodes before testing them, so that I can see them in the palette on the left side of Node-Red?

Here my package.json:  
{  
"name": "node-red-contrib-simatic-opcua-event",  
"version": "0.0.10",  
"description": "A node-red node to communicate with Siemens PLC S7-1500 or any other basic opc ua server. Based on "node-red-contrib-opcua"-Nodes.",  
"directories": {  
"doc": "docs"  
},  
"scripts": {  
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"  
},  
"repository": {  
"type": "git",  
"url": "[git@code.siemens.com](mailto:git@code.siemens.com):simatic-systems-support/industrial-edge/edge-apps/nodered.git"  
},

}  
},

How did you install the node?

Show us what you have put in package.json

I installed it with "npm install"

And I´m working with docker, so I copied the folder in my Dockerfile

Did you check your node-red/container log? If there are problems with the node it will state it there, and won't import it.

Sorry, I found the problem, there was a mistake in the names of the files...
