Hi all,  
Since upgrading my node-red installation to version 3 my inject nodes all seem to be disabled and I cant enable them.  
They do inject if I set them to inject once after deployment.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated

Have you checked the node-red log? Does it have any errors? What version of node.js are you using? I assume you are on Windows 10? Also assuming you restarted node-red and reloaded the Editor browser window after the upgrade?

Also, what browser and version are you using?  
Try forcing a cache clear in the browser (using the browser menus, not hot keys).  
Are you able to try a different browser?

Also, what do you see in the deploy menu?

I'm on node v14.17.3 Win 10 and restarted/reloaded everything.  
Nothing unusual in the logs.  
This is my deploy menu.

Check the developer console in the browser for any errors.

The red Deploy button shows that Node-red thinks you should deploy.  
If you click it does it resolve the problem? Does the button remain red?

I have the same problem!

I'm on 3.0.2 running on a raspberry pi. I've not got any pending flow changes like previous posts ask. There's nothing obvious showing in the node-red logs.

I've even tried an incognito window in case it was a Chrome extension, but nothing.

Don;t suppose anyone has any ideas?

Are these inject nodes in a regular flow or a subflow?

Do you have the start/stop options in the deploy menu?

Are there any errors in the browser console?

Can you post a copy of the node-red log from launch to running?

In a regular flow.

My deploy menu has the same options as @Nicky, no start/stop options 🤔

Will grab the logs 😌

I seem to have accidentally fixed it! I updated all my nodes (`npm update` within `.node-red/node_modules` folder, and now they're back and usable!
