node-red端口争用问题

1. node-red端口争用报错

node-red是一个用图形化编写nodejs的开源软件，今天在使用node-red的时候犯了一个错误，拖了两个socket.io控件并且都应用了默认配置，但是默认配置都是监听80端口且路径都是/socket.io，于是出现端口争用，node-red服务直接报错退出，且界面显示”lost connection”，所以也无法通过界面删除节点。报错信息如下：

28 May 04:52:02 - [info] Starting flows
28 May 04:52:02 - [info] [socketio-config:59cef138.845f18] Created server on port 80

at start (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-red/red/runtime/nodes/flows/index.js:284:29)

2. 解决方法

我们可以从node-red启动时的打印信息中看到node-red的配置文件位置：

28 May 04:49:48 - [info] Settings file : /root/.node-red/settings.js
28 May 04:49:48 - [info] User directory : /root/.node-red
28 May 04:49:48 - [info] Flows file : /root/.node-red/flow_2fcc0fba92c4.json

其中flow_2fcc0fba92c4.json记录了各个节点的信息，只要找到对应的节点删除就可以了，不过用vim打开这个json文件后一大坨字符串，而且是单行，没法上下移动，删除也很麻烦。所以简单写了一个脚本，将json字符串转换为json对象，并用nodejs的repl让用户删除指定的Json对象。
nodejs的交互式编程参见这篇博文：http://www.cnblogs.com/youxilua/p/3528727.html

3. removeJSON.js

removeJSON.js代码如下：

#!/usr/bin/env node
const fs=require('fs');

if(process.argv[2]!='-f'||process.argv[3]==null){
        console.log('please input like this: node flow.fs -f flow.json' );
        process.exit();
}else{
        var filename=process.argv.slice(3);
        var filepath=__dirname+'/'+filename;
        if(fs.existsSync(filepath)){
                var content=fs.readFileSync(filepath);
                var jsonObj=JSON.parse(content);
                for(var i=0;i<jsonObj.length;i++){
                        console.log(i+":",jsonObj[i]);
                }
                process.stdout.write('please input number of json object that you want to remove:');
                process.stdin.resume();
                process.stdin.setEncoding('utf-8');
                process.stdin.on('data',function(number){
                        if(!parseInt(number)){
                                console.log("wrong number");
                                process.exit();
                        }else{
                                jsonObj.splice(number,1);
                                fs.writeFileSync(filepath,JSON.stringify(jsonObj));
                                process.exit();
                        }

                })
}else{
                console.log('this file does not exist:'+filepath);
                process.exit();
        }
}

运行效果如下：

root@2fcc0fba92c4:~/.node-red# node removeJSON.js -f flows_2fcc0fba92c4.json
