Timeout must be a string?

fribse · October 3, 2022, 8:37pm

HA: 2022.9.7
Node-Red: 13.4.0
node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket: 0.45.3 (manage palette says there is a 0.45.8 available, but it fails to update)

I have a flow where I wait for a sensor to go off, the node looks like this:

But with the latest node-red updates, it doesn’t work, I get an error like this:
"ValidationError: "timeout" must be a string"l
Sounds like an error? Time for a bug-report?

WallyR · October 3, 2022, 8:49pm

Try leaving it blank instead.

Kermit · October 3, 2022, 10:50pm

it was fixed in 0.45.5

fribse · October 4, 2022, 3:47pm

Great, how do I select. 5 when it says there is a. 8 that subsequently fails to install?

WallyR · October 4, 2022, 6:36pm

what does the log say when you update?

And have you restarted NodeRed before trying to update?

And yes, I did try restart, tried several things…

WallyR · October 4, 2022, 7:08pm

Seems like you email palette is causing issues.
You need to get that fixed first.

fribse · October 4, 2022, 7:17pm

Yeah, I’ve tried to fix that, can’t find a solution for it.
I tried deleting the two folders mentioned (stopped NR, delete folder, start NR)
After doing that, the log shows this:

Hmm, I tried renaming it WHILE NR was running, and now it updated the email, now I’ll restart and try the other modules that needs updating…

fribse · October 4, 2022, 7:37pm

Now it works, geeez, that was weird.
So for me the solution was to delete the ‘target’ folder, then rename the folders as in the log, and then update the email node.
Then after that, restart NR, then I could update the HA websocket node, and now the timeout node is working again.

fribse · October 4, 2022, 7:40pm

The last module that needs updating is modbus.
But I seem to recall something about that can’t be updated on this platform, or am I totally off the rails?

You are not required to update that. It should just not be in an unknown state in the update process.
