"Warning: msg properties can no longer override set node properties" when deploying new Node-RED flow

I made some changes to my Node-RED flow and saw the following warning pop up when I deployed the flow:

Warning: msg properties can no longer override set node properties. See bit.ly/nr-override-msg-props

How do I get rid of the warning?

Solution

  • The above link notes that:

    In future nodes and future releases msg.some_property will only be used if the property is not set in the node.

    Nodes currently using the override functionality will continue to function in this release but will also receive a warning noting that this behaviour is deprecated.

    The core nodes and properties affected by this behaviour are:

    http request: msg.url and msg.method email: msg.to file: msg.filename

    I realized I had msg.url set in a function node, and the next http request node in the flow had the URL set. Once I removed the msg.url in the function node, the warning disappeared.
