Sorry folks:
_..... I'm ba-ack.....!_
I've recently been working on a `subflow` and made a lot of silly mistakes.
(I'll cop that.)
So entered the command correctly and all should be good - yeah?
☹
Nah.
One machine it works, the other machine, doesn't.
Details:
NR 3.0.2
node -v 16.20.02
both machines.
So what's going on?
The error I get is:
```auto
{"message":"Invalid JSONata expression: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')","source":{"id":"da42a7e9064de621","type":"change","name":"#1","count":1}}
```
What throws me is:
`undefined (reading 'startsWith')`
It is a `change` node.
(code)
```auto
[
{
"id": "27d2dd9a875ab1a5",
"type": "change",
"z": "94cf2ea396e5b6f6",

"from": "",
"to": "",
"reg": false,

]
}
]
```
There's no _startingwith( )_ in there.
So I'm guessing it is a syntactical problem.
For the sake of sharing:
The code - no GUI stuff or MQTT nodes.
But the guts of the code:

On _machine 1_ I press the `inject` and the subflow works.
On _machine 2_ I press the `inject` and get the error.
Note:
the `node-status` changes on the _faulty_ machine though. So all is good to there.
P.P.S
If I change that `change` node to this:
```auto
[
{
"id": "27d2dd9a875ab1a5",
"type": "change",
"z": "94cf2ea396e5b6f6",

},

}
]
```
No error.
P.P.P.S.
Just checked.
the `change` node on both machines: same version.
3.0.2
Sorry folks, I seem to be missing something.

Just a thought, does $env(power) exist on failing machine?

Good question.
Alas,
Yes.
Out of interest, does the flow work for you?

Your test flow appears to missing some vital elements
I don't use JSONata much, but I think it should be $env('power')
Also you should upgrade to the latest version of node-red.

Oh, thanks.
Interesting.

Or, connect the `link-in` node to the input of the `subflow`.
Don't know how that connection got missed.

This is with the code which causes errors on the other machine.

As I said, you need $env('power')

Sorry, we caught each other's toes there.
Yeah, interesting.
The `subflow` was copied from the _working_ machine and on both the `'` are missing.
I'll add them and see what happens.
I am really not having much luck - am I? 😉
But good catch on that.
Thanks.

Does it really work on the one machine without the quotes?

Yes, which is why I was so confused.
Quotes taken out, it works.
# BUT!
On the other machine, it throws the error.

Can you export that section of the flow please? From the ~~non-~~ working system.
Edit, sorry, I meant the one that works but should not work because of the missing quotes.

This is the node from the machine on which is works.

I meant export of this, from the machine without the quotes, but which works.

All of it?
Ok.
Um....
Sorry, confusion setting in for me.
As is, on _machine B_ it works either way. With or without the `'` around the env name.
Also the one I am posting has the `'` around it.
Not wanting to sound difficult, but you can import the code and open/edit the subflow and remove the `'` around the env name (power) and try both on your machine.
Do I really need to post both versions (from the same machine?)

Yes, it would be nice to understand what is going on.
Why both machines are running the same NR version, same Node version and have the same `change node` version.
(One is a RasPi one is a NUC)
As it is a SUBFLOW, I can't really have BOTH versions loaded at the same time. (easily)

I would like you to take the quotes out, restart node-red, check it still works, and export that please. I want to know for certain that I am looking at a valid flow.

WITHOUT the `'` around the env name.
NR restarted and message working.

And to be clear: This machine works with or without the `'`.
(I'll go to the other machine and show you what happens without the `'` in the subflow.)
That will be another reply giving you time to look at what is so far.
