Hi there,  
I just tried to install node-red-contrib-ui-statechart to get a bit more informative charts.  
Installation works basically fine, but if I create a chart and deploy it, my whole multiple-page dashboard disappears and does not show up again, no matter what I do.

If I restart the whole instance I can see this error message:

To make my old dashboard accessible again, I have to uninstall the statechart package and restart the instance.

What does that mean ?

It means you should open an issue on the node's [GitHub issues page.](https://github.com/hotNipi/node-red-contrib-ui-statechart/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue)

I'm here. Just if you are going to create the issue, add info about your environment and the dashboard configuration also. Currently there is only the dashboard version you have shared.

I have never been on github and I have no idea how to create an issue there 🙂

but I can add some more information here:

I am running on Node-Red 3.1.3 since one week and the Dashboard I am using is the most actual one - 3.6.2

I did several additional tests yesterday, but whenever the mentioned error message shows up - after installing the statechart node - during startup, no dashboard at all is shown in my node-red setup, although I have approx. 10 pages up and running there  
all I see is the empty dashboard startpage

as soon as statechart is uninstalled, everything works fine again

Does it feel relatively slow to start up the dashboard? 10 pages itself maybe a lot but it all depends. Also do you have option to try different browsers?

I have identified the cause of issue but I don't yet like the potential fix.

no, not at all, the dashboard is really quick (but Node-Red as such is running on a Intel NUC i7 processor) - especially as there are several charts (vanilla dashboard charts) with thousands of data points included  
I tried at least two browsers so far - Chrome and Safari on my mobile, but I could of course try several others

Hi,  
I just gave it a try.  
The chart is shown now, but everything else disappears. The statechart bar is the only item shown in my dashboard. All the other pages are gone
