Unusual log startup following upgrade to 3.1.3/node20

General

Just upgraded my main Pi NR instance to 3.1.3 and node 20 and noticed that I don't get the normal start-up info (Welcome to NR and port info stuff)

pi@pi128gb:~/.node-red $ node-red

Now it might have been like that for a while and I just haven't noticed - is there something in the settings that needs changing?

Not that I am aware of. I might expect that if you were running as a service and the log viewer only attached a little bit late - but not if you are running node-red directly...
Will check my node v20 version when I get home later.

I just looked at my Win11 instance and that's been doing the same for at least a month!
(and I only upgraded it to node 20 today (from 18) so it's not due to that

And just checked my @TotallyInformation alternate install on the same Pi and that's still giving traditional info

pi@pi128gb:~/.nr1881/data $ npm start

> node-red-userdir@3.0.2 start
> cd .. && node node_modules/node-red/red.js --userDir ./data

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials

[edit] And my Win11 is still on 3.1.0 so it's not a 3.1.0->3.1.3 issue

My Ubuntu system with 3.1.3 and nodejs 20, which uses the same setup as a Pi is showing the welcome message ok.

What does which node-red show (on the pi)? It should be /usr/bin/node-red

/usr/bin/node-red

It seems to be the logging level setting

I tried to think what could be common to my Pi and Win setups and I remembered changing logging levels on them

So the pi was on warn - changed it back to info (like the alternate instance was using) and the startup info has come back

Sorry for noise :slight_smile:

Perhaps you wisely used my enhanced settings file as well. :sunglasses:
