Re: [node-red] flow stopped due to missing node types - error

[Dave C-J]

Well as it say you seem to be missing a node called www-request... not sure which package that came from - but I don't think it is a core node. When you added it - did you add it to your project package.json so it would get reinstalled on a restart of the server ?

Hi Sanil,

On Bluemix, nodes that are installed using the palette manager have to be reinstalled whenever the app is restarted. This should happen automatically, but does fail sometimes for reasons we've not been able to identify (in part because we haven't got it ourselves and noone had been able to provide us a log of the failure).

If you're running the most recent version of node-red, rather than try once and fail, it will now try repeatedly to get the modules reinstalled - so any transitory failure doesn't become permanent.

If you can provide the log output of node-red starting up (you should see messages about the module you've installed) that would be helpful. Otherwise, restart your app and see if it manages to reinstall.

The alternative is to edit your applications package.json file and add the module to its dependencies. It will then become a part of the application installed image.

Hi,

WIthout doing any changes on any flows, today morning i started encountering errors on my apps which use Node-red for orchestration. On digging in, i see the following error message ( Screenshot attached).

"Flows stopped due to missing node types. Check logs for details"
"Imported unrecognized type: www-request"

I am using Node-red on IBM BLUEMIX.

Any clues what i should be doing to resolve these?

Thank you,
