Hi All,

Status node is generating disconnect event when the server node is connected to tcp server.  
Is this a bug in Nodered?

`{"fill":"green","shape":"dot","text":"common.status.disconnected"}`

Hi @shershah

Sorry, you need to tell us what Nodes you are using.

example: what is a `server node` 🤷‍♂️ is this a node you have installed?

Hi @marcus-j-davies

I am connected to TCP serer using "tcp request" type node. I have static node configured which generates an even when tcp server is connected or disconnected. When TCP server is connected , I am getting "common.status.disconnected" value while it must be "common.status.connected".

`{"fill":"green","shape":"dot","text":"common.status.disconnected","source":{"id":"126ac01ac9f7971e","type":"tcp request","name":"tcpServer"}}`

Can you share your flow?

Checking the source the disconnected status is only triggered when the connection is closed/ended  
is your TCP server disconnecting the client (Node RED)?

Can you also let us know your Node & Node RED Version?

Hi @marcus-j-davies

Thanks for your immediate reply. I found the issue. I was using assignment operator in function node instead of comparison operator.

Thanks & Regards,

@dceejay

Something did come from this.  
I'm seeing a lot of `i18n` placeholders `common.status. ***** ` without the use of `RED._()`

Would explain the status `common.status.disconnected` instead of `disconnected`

The place holders are valid

Just 1 example
