From v.0.2.300 on no more OPCUA-Client and OPCUA-Server nodes available

[arol-varesi]

Updating library on my projects, on several different hardwares, fOPCUA-Client and OPCUA-Server nodes are lost.

[mikakaraila]

Something is missing / not installed. Any console output?

[arol-varesi]

Found that even with 0.2.297 from yesterday on there is the same problem:

[arol-varesi]

Something is missing / not installed. Any console output?

Nothing strange. I had a automatic installation from my package.json

{
    "name": "projectname",
    "description": "description",
    "version": "0.0.2",
    "dependencies": {
        "node-red-contrib-fs-ops": "~1.6.0",
        "node-red-contrib-modbus": "~5.25.0",
        "node-red-contrib-mongodb": "0.3.4",
        "node-red-contrib-opcua": "0.2.297",
        "node-red-contrib-tcp-client": "~0.1.3",
        "node-red-dashboard": "~3.3.1",
        "node-red-node-ui-list": "~0.3.6",
        "node-red-node-ui-table": "~0.4.3"
    },
    "node-red": {
        "settings": {
            "flowFile": "flows.json",
            "credentialsFile": "flows_cred.json"
        }
    }
}

I tried also to log into the docker container, uninstall and reinstall node-red-contrib-opcua and seem nothing strange.
I will redo it and give you the console log.

[mikakaraila]

Or when you try to start flow it will show some errors...
I found one bug and test it then I can publish new version.

[arol-varesi]

No way to start a flow as no possible to use OPCUA-Client and OPCUA-Server nodes. These are not in the palette.

Attached a full log of installation.
opcua-install-log.txt

[mikakaraila]

No errors in the install log, strange... if your start some other or empty flow any messages on console?

[arol-varesi]

None. I suppose some uncompatibility with other nodes that arise yesterday. I will try to add one package at time to check. I will give you a feedback. I just want you to know that with only opcua lib seem to work.

EDIT: sorry seems no working

[arol-varesi]

Steps to reproduce error

Started with Node-red Docker image version v2.1.3

1. Palette has nothing installed:

2. Install node-red-contrib-opcua from Palette menu

3. Seem installation to be with no problems

4. Close and reopen palette show some warnings

5. Trying to deploy a flow with OPC UA server rises next error

[mikakaraila]

Something is missing... I really need some debug/console log to find missing dependency.

[arol-varesi]

It seems that it does not work only on v2.x.x of Nodered. (With version 3.0 seem to work)

Thi is the log during installation

[mikakaraila]

This is causing the problem: No such built-in module: node:stream/promises

It is used in the node-opcua-file-transfer:
import { pipeline } from "node:stream/promises";

Some kind of nodejs version incompatibility. @erossignon any ideas?

[arol-varesi]

I suppose is something changed last 2 days.
I had some defined procedure to install devices. And only on devices installed yesterday this probles has arised. Today I tryed to reinstall a device installed last week (working) and reinstalling today it has the problem.
Very very strange.

Thank you for your support, I will try to update my nodeRED (that probably will have impact on other libraries), but I hope this thread can be useful if someone else will have same problem.

[mikakaraila]

If you had earlier version of node-red-contrib-opcua it can be it didn´t contain file-transfer (OPC UA File object).
Current: Node.js version: v14.18.2
Solution: Need to make sure your node version is > v15

[mikakaraila]

Etienne has updated node-opcua github workflow:

[erossignon]

[arol-varesi]

Gotcha.

Using the node-red docker image 2.1.6-16 based on node 16 will work!!!

Thankyou

[erossignon]

node 12 is deprecated, node 14 end of life is Feb 2023, it is time to switch to nodejs >= 16
