Tested on both latest and latest-18 (Node-Red 4.0.2), getting the same result except actual version of node is v20.

Please confirm this is a system that was upgraded from Node-RED 3.1.x?

The default latest tag for Node-RED 3.1.x Docker builds is NodeJS 16 so one of the nodes you have installed at that level has a dependency on @azure/[email protected] which has a node engines section in it's package.json which limits it to versions 10, 12, 14, or 16.

Node-RED 4.0.x is available with containers based on NodeJS 18, 20 & 22 so none of the 4.0.x container will match that restriction.

When npm is used to install a node it validates all existing nodes, which is why it's failing.

You have a few options:

1. revert back to Node-RED 3.1.11
2. create a shell in running container (docker exec -it <name/id of container> /bin/bash). In this run the following commands

• cd /data
• npm ls @azure/msal-node
  This will tell you which Node-RED node you have installed that has the dependency problem. You can then try and upgrade that node first or remove it

[fredrikjohnsson]

Yes, this was upgraded from Node-RED 3.1.x.

In a shell I installed latest version of @azure/msal-node using npm and this looks like it could have fixed the problem.
