Last Modified: Nov 07, 2022

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
12.1.0, 12.1.0 HF1, 12.1.0 HF2, 12.1.1, 12.1.1 HF1, 12.1.1 HF2, 12.1.2, 12.1.2 HF1, 12.1.2 HF2, 13.0.0, 13.0.0 HF1, 13.0.0 HF2, 13.0.0 HF3

Fixed In:
13.1.0, 13.0.1, 12.1.3

Opened: Apr 28, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Using Node.js package manager (NPM) to install a large Node.js package in the TMUI results in truncated contents in the workspace.

Impact

The workspace contents will be truncated. Some of the package contents will be missing, or boilerplate F5 elements (f5-nodejs, package.json, etc.) will not be shown.

Conditions

Installing large Node.js packages using the TMUI.

Workaround

None. Note: TMSH recognizes the entire file structure of node_modules (e.g., package.json and module folders of f5-nodejs and async), but TMUI does not.

Fix Information

All contents from the workspace filesystem are now shown and are editable from the TMUI.
