Set Context Storage to filesystem

[bobpecor]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure the node red plugin to save context data to the file system.

In the plugin config, I set the Setting Name to:

contextStorage

and the Value to:

{"default":{"module":"localfilesystem"}}

The log contains the following message:

@signalk/signalk-node-red setting contextStorage to {"default":{"module":"localfilesystem"}}

However, the following error message is logged:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach') at Object.addModule

Do you have the full stack trace of that error?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I do:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach')
at Object.addModule (c:\dev\signalk\signalkhome.signalk\node_modules@node-red\registry\lib\registry.js:195:27)
at c:\dev\signalk\signalkhome.signalk\node_modules@node-red\registry\lib\loader.js:153:34

I have, however, solved the issue.
After adding the config property/value (and receiving the error), I restarted Signal K and did not see the error again.
Instead, I saw the following in the log:

Context store : 'default' [module=localfilesystem]

@bobpecor Did context start storing persistently for you after this?

I have implemented it as you've described above and I'm not getting errors, however the storage isn't persistent.

My signalk-node-red.json looks like this:

{ "configuration": { "logging": "info", "requires": [ "mongodb" ], "settings": [ { "name": "contextStorage", "value": "{\"default\":{\"module\":\"localfilesystem\"}}" } ] }, "enabled": true, "enableLogging": false }
