Error installing community nodes on n8n

[benborges]

@dev-cb Ohhh this is exciting, wondering what happens if N8N gets an upgrade that breaks a community node..what would be the upgrade path? wait for community node upgrade, then upgrade existing installed custom packages and restart N8N ?

OK, I found some interesting notes at https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation/ . Investigating if that works for us.

edit: https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/troubleshooting/ is a better link

To update this, we managed to support community modules now. This will be possible with the next package release, we just wait on the ajv module thread to be resolved as well.

@nebulon Testing it!

This is really neat because the numbers of node/third-party connectors from the community are really interesting to use !

@benborges Can't restart N8N after doing this

@kevin-k Strange...can you try to revert back to a working backup, reinstall community modules again, reboot once again and go to that page see if everything stick ?

I had issues first time I installed, had to reinstall once, but then it went smooth...
