Third party integrations Node-RED

Node red has stopped working after updating to 2022.2.6 and to the latest version of Node red.

I get this in the Node red log:

I tried to restore a backup but Node red was not rolled back.
So the issue is still there.

I can’t do anything in Node red.
All flows are dead, even if I create a new flow with just inject and debug it does not work. It says flows not deployed

I think I found the issue.
I had a node that was removed in the latest version. The node had just been dragged out on the flow and not connected anywhere so probably something I just had a look at then forgot about.
But removing it seems to make it work.
Going to roll back since I have deleted a lot in order to try and get running again, then I will try deleting this node and see what happens.

Have you tried re-installing the ‘node-red-contrib-actionflows’ in the Palette manage ?

That was the node I had somewhere unconnected.
Probably the reason for the issue.
I had no idea I used the node so the breaking change wasn’t noted.

That was the issue.
Actionflow node (I think) was on a flow.

I believe this was fixed with the update the other day, the version prior I needed to add this to my config

init_commands:
  - npm uninstall node-red-contrib-actionflows
