[VenusOS 2.80~large20] @victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 fails

Hi, after manually updating the OS to the 2.80~large20 version I've noticed that there was also an update for the "@victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron" NodeRED package, raising it up to the 1.4.2 from the 1.4.1.
The update procedure fails because it needs the "/data/home/root/.node-red/node-modules/@victronenergy" folder, but on the filesystem it is a file! Here is the failure log:

I've also tried to manually create the folder and re-issue the update, but some error and warnings about the downloaded code raise:

After that I've tried to restart NodeRED (actually I've restarted the controller, if you can suggest how to do that I'll be really grateful) but it won't start anymore, always for the same problem about the file/folder "@victronenergy".

I've also tried from console, by running "npm install @victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron" but the same problems verifies.

Someone has encountered the same problem?

Hi, the recommend way to get to the new node-red-contrib-victron version is to await a new Venus OS large build from me.

We don't support self updating or installing of modules (like this one) which are included in the main image.


I'll be making a new build, probably this weekend. It will also go to nodejs v14 (I think we're now on 12?) and a few more things.

Hi @mvader (Victron Energy) ,


will you make a Pi 4 version as well?

Kind regards

Dirk
