NodeRed stuck on "loading plugins"

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi, I’ve been having a problem that I hope someone here can help me to figure it out…

Since last night, my nodered installation on HASSIO keeps getting stuck on the loading plugins splash screen:

I didnt install anything or changed anything on my HASS installation… I tried from different clients (1 laptop and 1 pc), rebooted HASS and even unplugged the Raspberry Pi for a couple of minutes, but the behavior is the same…

My NodeRed log is:

Thanks in advance!

Any error messages in the browser’s developer console?

The console throws these errors:

Try clearing the browser’s cache.

5

Thanks for the reply…

After clearing the browser’s cache the error still persists…

Hi! I have the same problem to. I’m considering to reinstall node red and restore the flows, but any other resolution it could be appreciated.

7

Today I installed the red node in 2 different raspberrys (one PI · and another PI4) and in neither of the two it goes beyond the “loading plugins” window. Any ideas? I already cleaned the chache of both raspberrry

8

Can you guys post the add-on logs? @Pablo2k @Pucho586

Just a heads up: Tried to access NodeRed on my cellphone (Edge browser) and it loaded ok… Tried to load on my Desktop on different browser (Chrome for Windows) and also loaded ok… The browser that has been having the “loading plugins” issue is Edge for Windows… even after full cache wipe it still cannot access NodeRed… don’t know if it has to do with an update or something like that, as I haven’t changed anything on Home Assistant or Node Red side.

Good afternoon! Where do I get this data from? I did not install anything other than the NODE-RED. Accessing externally (from the windows Chrome to the ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1880) makes the load correct and opens the NODE-RED, but from the browser of the 2 raspberrys (3 and 4) with completely new installations no I can access.

Hi @mbonani. Im looking the logs… and nothing weird appears. I always use chrome as a browser… I have deleting all the cookies and cache of the browser and nothing… but… if I open another instance of chrome, but with an “unknown” session… Node Red load up likes magic… that’s weird ah?

Apparently fixed. He was trying to run NODE-RED from Raspbian’s Chromiun and got stuck in LOADIN PLUGINS. Install firefox and it works

13

I don’t think is fixed… I’ve been having the same behavior for three days… It started suddenly: no HA or NodeRed updates, just one morning NR refused to start at all… I’ve identified that if I change browser (currently running Edge) I can access NR, but even if I do a full clean of the browsers cache and reboot my Raspberry, the issue still persists…

14

Same here! It was working 3 Days ago! No me of alternative posted here worked for me!

15

I also have the same problem when I use Chrome. With FireFox and Edge so far no problem.

16

I opened this issue on GitHub so maybe we can’t get shed some light on the origin of this issue:

For those who still have this issue, there is a discussion going on in the official Node-RED forum about it.
