Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

@dinschal said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

it would be better from the start if the developer would pack all optional options in the config

no… then config is a large mess… the design for config is JUST the changes you NEED, all the rest are defined already…

i want to keep that model. i just had a bug in my code… if the option wasn’t in config, then i don’t copy it from the form… oops… now I need to check if some option changed from the form data 1st… so I don’t copy all of the parms, just the needed one to match

BUT the form exposes the parms for every module… most users (and me!) are poor at reading the doc, BEFORE they use things… and get in trouble … the form is intended to help with that too …

@sdetweil haha in the past i was tired of reading the doc too ;) but too many failures made me to read it ;)

So I’m experiencing a new issue where when I use the editor and trhen press save its not actually saving the new co’ve reinstallked the module and even chmod the folder to 777

Is this an issue others are experiencing?

I have the config for it on the defualt settings and the somefile.txt reports that everything is find and it opened successfully on port 8301 ( this seems to change actually) I’m thinking that the port is changing while I’m editing?

sdetweil

@alyx no. the code looks for a free port, and then starts the socket connection there.

send my the debug output from
debug;true
and npm start >somefile.txt
via email

and
config.js created successfully

@sdetweil
Did the debug what folder does it go to? I have the somefile ready also

As for the messages I get the first part but not the second saying its created

sdetweil

@alyx debug is set in config.js for my module

the somefile is the debug output from save
also send the config.js and the defaulys.js from my module folder.

the .js files will have to be renamed to .txt
as .js files cannot be sent as attachments

my email is my same userid at gmail

lack of the second message means some content formatting issue

Alyx

@sdetweil Sent over there cheers

sdetweil

@alyx sent message back. need the rest of debug
