TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSessions')

jvdnl · 7 January 2025 19:53

Hi everyone,

i just changed my node-red installation to a new pc, switched from windows 10 to windows 11. just installed node-red with the modules i used in the past version.

node-red-contrib-huemagic-fork
node-red-contrib-modbus
node-red-contrib-ola
node-red-dashboard

unfortunally after the deploy from the past flow (worked for a year and a half without any problems) into the new version, node-red seems to break down after a few minutes. somethimes when no nodes are triggerd or something.

i get the following error:

7 Jan 20:44:25 - [red] Uncaught Exception:
7 Jan 20:44:25 - [error] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSessions')

    at Receiver.startLoop (C:\Users\pc\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-red\node_modules\ws\lib\receiver.js:143:22)

i tried to read other topics with similar problems, but nothing seems to work or make any sence for my situation.

hopefully someone is able to help me out!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards!

Hi and Welcome,

Did you edit the settings file?
How did you import your old configuration?

The error is internal (inside the core)

TotallyInformation · 7 January 2025 20:21

Did you check the npm install log?

Also, when installing node.js, did you install the windows build tools? That's an option in the node.js installer. But you need them for some nodes.

jvdnl · 7 January 2025 20:22

hi GogoVega,

i didn't edit the settings file,
i just exported the flow from the export function in the nodered editor.
is there a need to change the settings file?

thanks a lot for you reply!

GogoVega · 7 January 2025 20:29

Not necessarily, I remember that in the past a missing configuration in the settings file created inappropriate behavior.

@knolleary, what could prevent storage from existing?

github.com

node-red/node-red/blob/1e8f840993052b16427e2556545fe6ea40a409d1/packages/node_modules/@node-red/editor-api/lib/auth/tokens.js#L61-L64


      
          loadedSessions = storage.getSessions().then(function(_sessions) {
               sessions = _sessions||{};
               return expireSessions();
          });

hi Totallyinformation,

i did check the install log when i installed it, didn't got any errors.
but i thing i didn't the windows build tools. i just opened the nodejs installer again and did check the box now. if correct it opened a new powershell with the installation going on.

however it does give some errors.

i tried to find it in the settings file, but i'm not sure where to look. the structure as shown in the github link is different from my folder structure. is there a specific file i can search for to check if those settings are in there?

thanks a lot!

GogoVega · 7 January 2025 20:54

No, not sure yet.
Can you try restarting your PC and try again to start NR and access the editor.

jvdnl · 7 January 2025 21:04

just did, tried to start node-red and after a few times triggering nodes it does have the same issue, kills node red with the same error in the terminal screen.

also checked for windows updates. but everything is up to date aswell as node-red itself.

i can also try to reinstall nodejs, but i'm affraid that won't help.

GogoVega · 7 January 2025 21:10

Sorry, no idea

jvdnl · 7 January 2025 21:11

thank you anyway for your time and help!

knolleary · 8 January 2025 11:59

@jvdnl can you confirm what version of Node-RED you are seeing this on?

jvdnl · 8 January 2025 13:53

Hi @Knolleary, i’m using the latest version. V4.0.8
