Node-RED EPERM error when deploying

[NielsWe]

Hi,

when deploying changes in Node-RED 1.10.0 or 1.8.4 I get the following EPERM error:

Search flows
Flow	
"d9447549.a50b28"
Deploy failed: 
{
"code":"EPERM",
"message":"EPERM: operation not permitted, copyfile '/var/snap/ctrlx-node-red/109/solutions/activeConfiguration/node-RED/flows.json' -> '/var/snap/ctrlx-node-red/109/solutions/activeConfiguration/node-RED/.flows.json.backup'"
}

There is no error with the initial deployment or when deleting flows.json from the Configurations. So the copy/rename seems to produce this error. I am logged in with full permissions.

I dont have any issues on a second ctrlX CORE with the same Versions installed.

Any clues?

There were some write problems in the older version of snapd. Please use at least the RM21.07 version (2.51.1). Afterwards:

1. Export all flows (Flow -> Export -> Alle Flows)
2. Create a new configuration and activate it (Manage app data)
   
3. Import all flows
4. Deploy all flows

I have installed all apps as delivered with RM 21.07.2.

But the error persists as described.

Did you try using a "new" empty configuration, like described above?

[NielsWe]

Yes. I tested a new clean configuration.

I will compare this devices setup with a second device (that is working) tomorrow.
