Hi, the 4.2 version of the worldmap is failing. We use it in FTS webMaps

dceejay commented 7 months ago

Hi - any more info than that ? What are you sending ? any chance of an example flow that fails ?

Which version of nodejs are you running ? hopefully at least 16 or 18....

line 129 of worldmap.js is delete message.options?.pane; which uses the optional chaining operator... which has been around since node14 at least ...

NodeJS version provided by Ubuntu will only run like, Node12, which NodeRed 2.3 is the latest that can run on that Node12 version.

Don't use the one provided by Ubuntu - it is past end of service life and probably has security vulnerabilities. Even Debian (Bookworm) now has nodejs 18 in the repo. - But better to get direct from node source - https://github.com/nodesource/distributions or use our Node-RED install script which will also install nodejs... https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi

I will patch that line so it may work for you - but in general going forwards you should migrate to a supported version of nodejs.
