Noble BLE node not working after updating

General
1

Hi,

I updated node-red to newest version and Node Js to version 14 (been doing it for 6 hours now..) And finally I think I got most of the things working, but critical application is not working. I have sensors that I am reading with the node-red-contrib-noble module.

It is correctly shown in the list of nodes
image
But when ever I place it somewhere I get an error "module_not_found".

Been trying to reinstall it from GUI and console, but it is not helping. When installing it from the console I get following errors:

[code]pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $ npm install node-red-contrib-noble

Also noticed, that any bluetooth -related does not work. Tried to interpret the errors, maybe something with this bluetooth hci module?

Since you also updated the version of Nodejs .. some npm modules that depend on C++ binaries need to be rebuilt.

From your .node-red folder run npm rebuild

hope it fixes the problem .. cause that node hasnt been updated for more than six years

This appears to be the main problem, it is required by the noble node and it will not install. It seems to be no longer supported, see numerous issues on Issues ¡ noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket ¡ GitHub and in particular Maintenance status ? ¡ Issue #123 ¡ noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket ¡ GitHub which points to a fork that does appear to be maintained. To use it I think it is necessary to fork the noble node and include the hci fork, instead of the original, in the noble node's package.json

a quick look at the forks - this fork of node-red-contrib-noble by MatsA looks to be the most promising (states "works up to Node 16" and "node-red v3.0.1"). It references the abandonware fork of noble. However doesnt appear to be added to NPM or the node-red library so you will need to manually install.

I would recommend you uninstall any BT stuff you have added and follow instructions in the readme to the letter.
