pdfkit node-red keeps loading

[Sven Jacobs]

Hello 

We are adding node.js nodes to our node-red so we can do some more stuff.

We need to generate pdf files, i tried to add different pdf nodes but none seem to work.

When I add them and start node-red i can login to node-red editor console but then he keeps loading his nodes on the left side.

for the moment i added the following line in my docker build file

RUN npm install pdfkit

and this in my settings.js

pdfkit:require('pdfkit')

I changed the level to trace but no specific errors are showing up. had this also with some modules to generate qrcodes ...

anybody any ideas?

The npm install command needs to be run in the node-red user did (usually ~/.node-red). Not sure where it defaults to on docker.
