Error message after re-install of Zwave JS UI

[nesheimt]

I had a working installation of Zwave JS UI on my Win11 computer. For some reason I deleted the whole directory and did a new clone from Github. I then did the npm install and npm run build.

But this time the npm run build was finished by an error message: Node.js v22.11.0
ERROR: "build:ui" exited with 1 and Zwave JS UI does not start properly showing this:

And when entering the URL to the UI these messages appear>

I have tried some suggestions found on the web, but no luck. Please advice.

Perhaps you should try the latest, 9.27.1.

Why are you building it manually instead of just downloading the binary, or using npm install -g zwave-js-ui?

[nesheimt]

Need to tweak on the compat config for a device.

[kpine]

You don't need to install from source to do that. You can drop the config file into the device config directory.

[nesheimt]

Thanks for the advices....this is a completely "new world" to me. Will try it out!

[nesheimt]

@kpine Just to be sure...if I use the binary file for Windows I can just take the config file, in this case tf016_tf021.json, and drop it here:

[kpine]

Yes. Then restart ZUI. Check the driver logs to make sure the "User-provided" file was loaded for the node.

CNTRLR   [Node 002] Embedded device config loaded
CNTRLR   [Node 009] User-provided device config loaded

9.27.0 was broken, use 9.27.1

[nesheimt]

It doesn't work for me:

npm install?

[nesheimt]

Yes, thats right. (has been working fine till now)

[nesheimt]

Thanks...I thought it was me doing something wrong, but yes, seems to something with the 27 release.
I rolled back to 26 and that worked fine.

[robertsLando]

9.27.1 is already out use that :)
