Hi everybody,

I have been playing with uibuilder and really enjoying it. Developing it locally, everything has went smoothly but I have been running into an issue when I am deploying it out as a Docker image and I was hoping somebody might point me in the right direction of where to troubleshoot. I have uibuilder, vue, and bootstrap-vue all in a package.json but when I go to the palette I see this error for uibuilder:

Looking at the full logs, here are the messages I am seeing:

I am using a mounted volume here as you can see at /data and I do see a uibuilder subfolder get automatically created there. Any hints on what to check would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi @gingerhelp

You are using node.js 10 which is no longer supported by Node-RED.

You need to upgrade to a more recent node.js version.

uibuilder and Node-RED minimum versions, as Nick has said, are 12+

Thanks @knolleary and @TotallyInformation - upgrading to the latest node.js fixed me right up. Appreciate both of you!
