Current Behavior

After updating the FlowFuse/Dashboard from version 1.29.0 to 1.30.1, the Dashboard no longer works.

The Dashboard was functioning correctly in version 1.29.0, but immediately after the upgrade to 1.30.1 it stopped working.

Expected Behavior

The Dashboard should work as it did in version 1.29.0.

Steps To Reproduce

1.	Install version 1.29.0 or older using Environment Settings
2.	Verify that the Dashboard works correctly
3.	Update to version 1.30.1
4.	Open the Dashboard 

Environment

• Dashboard version: 1.30.1
• Node-RED version: 3.0.2
• Node.js version: v14.20.0
• npm version: 6.14.17
• Platform/OS: Linux Ubuntu
• Browser: Chromium

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

I have provided an initial effort estimate

You are using a long out of support version of nodejs (you must have at least 18 I think) and also an ancient version of node-red. I am confident that if you upgrade both then all will be well.

I see that you have posted another issue #2004 which appears to suggest that this issue is no longer a problem. If so then please close this one.

In order to make the Dashboard work again, I had to downgrade from version 1.30.1 to 1.30.0. With v1.30.1 the Dashboard does not load correctly, while v1.30.0 works as expected.

I am 90% certain that the problem is the old version of nodejs that you are using. Upgrade to at least nodejs 18 and preferably 22 and upgrade node-red and I am confident that all will work as expected.

Hi @JorgeAlberto91MS can you tell us what browser you use (and what version and on what operating system) please?

Additionally, can you open the browsers dev tools and see if there are any errors in the console? (how to)
