Node-Red doesn't start after exchanged Shelly node in flow

[danlun]

I just removed a non working shelly 2.5 node in a Node-Red flow. I then added anew Shelly Plus 2PM as a node and included it in the same place as the old node was removed from. After this Node-Red has died on me when trying to use it. It says the module hasn’t started and when I try to start, it doesn’t so I don’t get into my flows any longer. I was able to restart the system and under configuration switch on Safe mode but as soon as that is switched off the Node red is snot starting. The log file I can get looks like this: Do I need to do anything in any YAML-file?

@danlun hm I can only see one line that makes use of startsWith and that is somewhere at 373 in the current version of 99-shelly.js. If you have access to the installation folder where 99-shelly.js is, then you could just delete the file and the html file next to it and then you should be able to restart node-red. Then you should upgrade the node-red-contrib-shelly nodes to the latest version

Thanks @windkh I will see, but I think I have access, suppose this is in the file system of the HA installation somewhere (sorry to be amateur)?

[danlun]

@windkh its done, the files renamed. But I thought, when the system restarts these files were coming back, but they don't. Node-Red for sure starts again but my Shelly Nodes has disappeared and the text "Flows stopped due to missing node types." is at the top. The nodes are exchanged with dotted boxes and "unknown: shell-roller-shutter". I assume where it goes wrong now is I don't know where/how to "upgrade the node-red-contrib-shelly nodes"?

[windkh]

@danlun just go to the pallete and reinstall node-red-contrib-shelly. Then you will get the latest version which should work for you. If not, let me know

[danlun]

Wohohoo. That little thing took me from version 1.3.1 to version 10.13.7….. Wonder it has been working so long. I have forgotten about the Palette, not a big user of Node-Red but it's really good when used. Thanks will try out the new nodes :-)
