Unable to upgrading Node-RED

giova77 · Post by **giova77** » 10 Dec 2020, 20:40

Hi,
im trying to upgrade node-red on my RevPI core 3 but I'm stuck with this error: "Failed to install Node.js - Exit", as shown in the screenshot attached.

Looking at the log it seems the script exit with this last row "Versions: node:v8.11.1 npm: ".

I searched online but i cannot find a fix, could you help me?

This is the last part of the log file:

Hi giova77, how did you initiate the update? I know this way https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi
Or did you execute something else? Can you extend the verbosity of the output? There is an information about the install log on the screenshot. It would be helpful if you can post it.

Hi Dirk,

I follow the same way https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi
I have no idea how extend the verbosity, I use WIN SCP to see the log file.

I notice a first warning

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Then an error:

Err:5 https://teamviewer-revpi.teamviewer.com/deb tvstable Release
server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
Reading package lists...
E: The repository 'http://teamviewer-revpi.teamviewer.com/deb tvstable Release' does no longer have a Release file.
Error executing command, exiting

Then after a while the script always stops here:

Versions: node:v8.11.1 npm:

I paste the complete log file here:

Maybe I have to launch apt-update and apt-upgrade on the RevPi?
Thanks in advance

Hi giova77, the way you have performed the Node-RED update maches with me

Yes, this is a good idea to do an update of the system with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade

And then just then try it again afterwards.

Hi Dirk,

all is fine now, thanks for the support!

giova77 · Post by **giova77** » 25 Dec 2020, 11:31

Hi,

as I wrote before I' ve been able to upgrade Node-RED, but now I can't work with the new version.

In particular after editing a node the program freezes (see the attached screenshot) and I have to reload the page.

I also noticed that in this updated version when I drag a node in the workspace a duplicate node is created as you see in the screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Hi giova77, I have moved your post here and I have written a message to the developers of the component. Thank you for your patience.

Hi giova77,

thanks for your bug report. I have opened an issue for you on our github page, there you can follow the further progess: https://github.com/erminas/node-red-con ... /issues/11.

As a first workaround: you can try using a different browser, the standard browser (epiphany-browser ) on the RevPi is a bit limited. My recommendation would be using Chrome or Firefox from a different computer on the same network, then calling eg. http://192.168.1.100:1880.

Greetings,
Jonas
