How is Node-RED installed? Where is uibuilder installed?

Installed as an npm package, started through an npm script.

userDir set to ./.node-red (by using settings.js) of my working directory to have a complete standalone installation. Instead of running it globally.

Vendor paths are set correctly when starting node-red:

info: UIbuilder: Adding master vendor path url=/uibuilder/vendor/normalize.css, path=/Users/kevin/git/home2/node_modules/normalize.css
info: UIbuilder: Adding master vendor path url=/uibuilder/vendor/jquery, path=/Users/kevin/git/home2/node_modules/jquery/dist

localhost:1880/uibuilder/ also routes correctly to the index.html

However, in the template index.html the line reads dist/jquery.min.js causing a 404. When removing the dist from the path, it works as expected.

:sigh: as with so many things, in trying to fix a different issue, I worked out what causes this one.

The problem is that if uibuilder is accessing a package installed with uibuilder, that package is in a different place, not <userDir>/node_modules. In order to try and work out where it is so that I can add a static server path to it, there are 2 different lookups. The first, main lookup finds things installed in <userDir>/node_modules, e.g. if you installed them as a user. The second finds things installed anywhere (uses require.resolve(packageName)). It is this 2nd one that gives odd results. It finds the location of the script defined in package.json as “main” but this may not be where the front-end scripts are.

So, if you install jquery yourself, that’s one path but if you use the version installed by uibuilder, that is a different one. That isn’t always going to work as it may give inconsistent results.

So in v2, I will be using a different strategy and my own packageFind function. This is implemented now in the v2 branch if you want to test it.

OK, I worked out how to do tags and release from tags. I’ve pushed v1.0.10 and I’ll try to remember to do them in the future as well.
