Custom Node Not Listed

[Lotto]

Bug Description

I am trying to create a custom node, but it is not found when I run n8n on Ubuntu 24.04. It works on Windows.

To Reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-nodes-starter
2. cd n8n-nodes-starter
3. npm install
4. edit package.json to rename : n8n-nodes-mytest
5. npm run build
6. npm link
7. cd ~/.n8n
8. mkdir custom
9. cd custom
10. npm init
11. npm link n8n-nodes-mytest
12. n8n start

Expected behavior

It works on Windows but not on my Ubuntu.
I tried specifying the path to n8n or the path to the custom nodes folder, but it doesn't work.
I can't find my nodes in the n8n nodes list.

Operating System

Ubuntu Linux 24.04

n8n Version

1.42.1

Can you please try invalidating the browser cache?
I think we might have made the caching on certain json files more aggressive than we needed to , and that might be causing this issue.
