signalk-node-red on openplotter 1.2.0 alpha

[theshade]

Dear All,

Sorry again for the newbie question. Following my failed attempts to send reliably a single action/trigger to mqtt.. (see my other post thread) I have installed signalk-node-red and node-red-embedded.

Both seem to have worked well and I can see the tool palette and start building my flows.

Unfortunately this is what happens and the node red server keeps on crashing and restarting:

12 Nov 23:01:26 - [info] Starting flows
12 Nov 23:01:27 - [error] [signalk-on-delta:a8191a23.a5dd58] TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined
   ---- this comes from the delta node 
12 Nov 23:01:27 - [info] Started flows
12 Nov 23:01:27 - [info] [mqtt-broker:OPmqtt] Connected to broker: mqtt://10.10.10.1:1883
12 Nov 23:01:32 - [red] Uncaught Exception:
12 Nov 23:01:32 - TypeError: Cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined
    ---- this is from the suscribe node
nodered.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
nodered.service: Unit entered failed state.
nodered.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
nodered.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Stopped Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.
Started Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.

I tried them individually and only the suscription crashes node-red entirely the other just fails at sending anything...

Node-red itself seems to work fine because the ping results is sent to mqtt no problem.

but as soon as I deploy any of the nodered signalk tools I get errors.

going to the signalK plugin config I turned on node-red to active as well as logging (but don't know where the log file is...)

In the signalk-suscribe node I simply put the path as: navigation.datetime but what ever I put it's failing.

But I don't really know if it's running:

http://localhost:3000/plugins/signalk-no...redApi/ui/
returns
Cannot GET /plugins/signalk-node-red/redApi/ui/

http://192.168.178.121:3000/plugins/signalk-node-red/

I tired to uninstall the plugins and reinstall them from inside SignalK dashboard but can't find the option do deinstall plugins..
So I tried to [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]npm i [/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]@signalk/signalk-node-red [/color]but that didn't do much... also git cloned it  and tried a few other things at my level of understanding with no success... still no signalk in mqtt...

Any hint will be greatly appreciated !

Are your mqtt account details correct in the openplotter mqtt tab? I just use the user name/password same as the cloud account.

Dear @PaddyB,

Thank you for your reply. Yes they are! and when I use other red-node nodes (such as ping or anything not signalk) I can see the messages in mqtt.
it seems only the signalk-node-red is not working for some reason...

Cheers,

Shady

Ah, didn't read the post completely
Sounds odd, I just tried signalk-on-delta into mqtt in node red and works fine. Maybe ask the author? >

Thank you @PaddyB ... indeed it's not easy to see where to suscribe or who to ask... I will contact Sbender on GH he might know...
