Software / Version Node.JS / v14.18.3 npm / 6.14.15 Node-RED / v2.1.5 uibuilder node / vNext 5.0.0-dev uibuilderFE / 5.0.0-dev OS / Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver) Browser / Firefox 95.0

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

Node: uibuilder node

Issue: Warning MSG when Template Settings set to vue and/or vue, bootstrap-vue

WARNING

The selected uibuilder template (vue) is MISSING the following dependencies:
vue, bootstrap-vue

Please install them using the uibuilder Library Manager or select a different template.

I followed this install process

node-red dir $ cd .node-red

Install vNext build $ npm install TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-uibuilder#vNext

NOTE: As of v3.1.3, npm cannot safely install the VueJS and bootstrap-vue default dependencies. If you want to use the provided VueJS templates, you must install these yourself. Either use uibuilder’s library manager or manually install from the command line While I was still in $HOME/.node-red $ npm install vue@“2." bootstrap-vue@"2.”

npm WARN deprecated popper.js@1.16.1: You can find the new Popper v2 at @popperjs/core, this package is dedicated to the legacy v1

looks like it installed fine $ ls -a node_modules | grep vue

bootstrap-vue

vue

Then restart node-red $ sudo systemctl restart nodered

Tracked the WARNING MSG back to uibuilder.html in line 5

Trying to figure it out now. Care to point me in the right direction for picking apart RED.settings.uibuilderTemplates[t].dependencies

[meeki007]

Wow…This totally(no pun intended) points me in the right direction. I was about to point out what I had found in my digging. Let me do that now and point out the solution I was going to go for. I found that if I use the uibuilder node properties->libraries [native installer] it puts a copy of vue / bootstrap-vue into the folder

/home/nfs/.node-red/uibuilder/node_modules

so I thought that all I need todo is update the documentation to use this path. I then started diggin on the for where this is created. Because if I delete the last front-end package from this folder IT DELETE’S the /node_modules folder located inside the /home/nfs/.node-red/uibuilder dir. I would like it to be static and there even if no modules so if i submit a pull to update the documentation and the msg in the terminal upon build I could add the correct command.

Now that I’ve read your post above I can see this is allot deeper and requires some more thought. I got the rest of today off so im going to drink some beer and start digging now that you have shown me the path. … expect more questions.

I so wish you could do a search of plain txt on github to look in all files this would save me allot of time.
