Node-red keeps restarting

General
1

Hello,

I am new to node-red. I try to use node-red-contrib-viseo.
Everything was fine at first but now I am stuck with node-red rebooting all the time.
I thought my flow somehow get corrupted so it rename flows.json temporary as flows.json.bak but the same error keeps occuring.

You cut out the version of Node-RED and nodejs you are using.

3

I updated my post with the beginning of the log showing node-red version: Node.js version: v8.12.0

4

You are on a very old version of Node-RED - v0.17.5 0- the current release is v0.19.5

Is there a reason you are so far behind?
What OS?

5

You need to sort out the errors at the start of the log. I suggest starting by using npm to install request as it suggests. I don't recognise the directory structure you have so I don't know which folder you should go to in order to install it. Is it a Mac? If so then possibly someone who uses Macs can advise.

I installed node-red using the Documentation from node-red-contrib-viseo
I tried to update node-red using npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red but I still see v0.17.5 0 in my logs.

I've had problems with viseo before. The author tends to make too many assumptions. I believe he wrote the node to be part of a custom installation for his customers. He assumes that you are using his custom installation and not a standard node-red installation.

So if you are still seeing the different version of Node-RED, I think it likely that you are running his custom install version rather than your global version.

Given this the best route is probably to open an issue on the github page you linked to.
