UIBuilder & node-red projects

The uibuilder node seems to have issues with enabled node-red projects. When switching between two projects which both have a uibuilder node in place the path where the source files are stored are wrong.

For example if I have the following projects: projectA - with uibuilder path /projectA projectB - with uibuilder path /projectB

When I have projectA open and switch to projectB, uibuilder creates the projectB folder inside projectA/uibuilder instead of switching to projectB/uibuilder/projectB. If I restart node-red after switching the project uibuilder uses the correct project folder. It seems like uibuilder stores the project path and does not refresh it when the project changes.

node-red version: 1.1.2 uibuilder version: 2.0.8 nodejs version: 12.18.2

Ah yes…

RED.events.on("runtime-event", function(event) {
   if (event.id === "project-update" && event.payload.action === "loaded") {
      // A new project has been loaded
   }
});

That’s right @NoFr1ends - runtime-event event can be listened to on the RED.events object. It gets triggered lots of different ways, but the key thing to look for is the action property of the event payload - it will have the value "loaded"

RED.events.on("runtime-event", function(payload) {
   if (payload.action === "loaded") {
      // A new project has been loaded
   }
});
