OS: macOS 10.14.6 Node-red: v1.0.3 Node.js: v12.13.0 Running projects. So I was trying to look into an issue for a user. Somewhere in the process of installing start/stopping NR and removing the node, it lost the connection to projects. Now everytime I start NR I see in the log: 19 Jan 16:13:4…

@Colin - No it did not change settings.js - the last mod date on it is Dec 28, 2019 @knolleary , If I open an existing project make a change stop/start NR, the log shows no active project and I get the 'Hello we have intrduced projects...' again

I went and looked at .config.json - at the end of the file I see: "projects": { "projects": {} } so I went into Timemachine (on my mac) and grabbed a copy from yesterday and at the end I see: "projects": { "projects": { "RFID-reader": { "credentialSecret": false }, "The-Project…

Well that got me out of that mess. Now to try installing the node again and see if it happens again.

Is there a deficiency in the system, if you loose config.json you lose the projects?

Not lost.... just misplaced :-)...(the file are still present - just the index was lost for some reason) - and yes - may be a bug if we can find out how it happened and can reproduce it.

.config.json contains all your runtime configuration. So yes, if it is lost, then you lose configuration. You don't lose any projects or data. There is an item on the backlog to split some of runtime configuration into their own files to minimise any issue if one file gets corrupted.

I realised it wouldn't have removed the files, but how do you re-index them?

Well I have been able to reproduce it but need to build a step by step. I'll do it later since I'm going to go for a family swim with the grandkids!

Reproducable - here is how I can reproduce it WARNING: before doing this, go to your .node-red directory and backup your .config.json stop NR npm remove node-red-contrib-chatbot start NR open project import test flow - get errors missing nodes in palette add node-red-contrib-chatbot note screen…

Sadly, I can't say I'm surprised here. I've used redbot/node-red-contrib-chatbot in the past, but right now it's not in use in any of my flows no matter the benefits it would bring me. I've tried to understand how the code functions, but so far without much luck. It's incredibly powerful if/when it …
