Hi, nbrowser node is installed int node-red correcly eather via palettemanager or via console but after i place node into flow. and deploy it i get error.

Flows stopped due to missing node types. nbrowser

tried on several installs of ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-62-generic x86_64)

i this it is because of ubuntu not having latest node.js in default repos

Steveorevo commented 6 years ago

What version of node.js are you using? On the command line type:

node -v
igisho commented 6 years ago

Hi firs part of problem was in wrong node version. Now im using v8.10.0 but nbrowser node always stuck at some method. Status of node sasy for example: running:gotoURL and nothing is happening.

mito commented 6 years ago

If I put multiple methods in node, it seems like it is stuck always on last one. No error rised anywhere :(

tried different versions of nodejs and electron, no difference also tried running electrons quickstart and simple examples, everything ends with exit code 1

Steveorevo commented 6 years ago

Electron is based on Chromium. Let’s see if you have the prerequisites to run a viable browser; do you have a desktop with a version of Chrome browser running successfully?

mito commented 6 years ago

ok, i seems it is running on ubuntu Desktop, my previous tries were on ubuntu server, is it possible to run it on headless server?

mito commented 6 years ago
