Hello everyone,

I can't import any flow on node red right now :

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/0/8/080be59e33cea9007fd7dd2d92c6f7bcc7aecccd.png)  
This is not working with external flows but also with the same flow I just exported from that node red device.  
Has anyone ever had this problem ?  
Does someone has an idea to fix that ?

Working on Node RED 4.0.8 and node js 23.5.0.

Thanks

Could this be a node 23 issue?

@colin no. The error is being shown in the Import Flow dialog - that is entirely browser side.

That is almost 5 years old and does not support modern JS features (oh, and likely has many serious CVE exploits)

You are right, this is a browser issue. It works well on Firefox.  
Thanks a lot, that already made me lost a couple of hours...

Odd numbered Node version are not explicitly supported or tested by Node-RED. You may encounter issues with contrib nodes and node-red itself. The recommendation is to use an even numbered LTS (long term support) version.

> Major Node.js versions enter _Current_ release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to _Active LTS_ status and are ready for general use. _LTS_ release status is "long-term support", which typically guarantees that critical bugs will be fixed for a total of 30 months. Production applications should only use _Active LTS_ or _Maintenance LTS_ releases.

> Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
