Query Manager loses variables

[famousmag]

Hi Vladimir,

I have the same problems from time to time…
Do you remember on what you where working on when it crached and config.js got empty?
I have 3 things in mind and watching their behavior untill I have a curtain result to report.
appconnect:

1. Datastore component
2. Datav View component
   serverconnect:
   ArrayList

Where you modifying any of those while it happened? (bind values, set parameters etc…)

The last time it crashed was when trying to open the window for publishing a project

@George - I lost variables in a query manager - thankfully, I did not commit the changes yet and can recover the config.js. All data in the config.js was deleted.

I was working on the data_view and trying to create a table with a filter.

I am using Wappler Version 6.6.2 in a NodeJS environment.

Can you please look into this as I am worried that if I had committed the changes without realising what's being committed, it would have destroyed all the work.

i have the same issue with version 6.8.0. happens definitely after minor crashes which i think happens when certain bindings made without saving at appropriate points, i think it also happens after project close at similar situation to find config file changed on reopen

Hello,
I have the same issue. Wappler crashes and when restarted query and cookie manager lose all of the variables i have set. It happened twice... the crash happened when I was selecting a server action both of the times...

Hey Nikolas,

There is a related known bug on Electron and team is waiting for a fix

Local datastore lost all its variables

First the config.js is not a critical file, it is used only by Wappler UI for meta data pop-ups. Second the issue is because of a bug in Electron that is already open for 7 months and the Electron team haven’t fixed yet. See: We hope to rewrite the usage of this file in the next major Wappler version and we will be using much newer Electron so it might get fixed there as well.

Meanwhile always have an up-to-date backup of your projects (git or otherwise) , especially config.js.

(for a specific binding that keeps giving you a crash and you just can't go on, you can type it by hand directly in the code without using the UI)

Wappler 6.8.0, NodeJS.

If i saved my work on specific points e,g after binding a server connection with server action etc, the app does not crash. Save all and closing project and reopening also helps when i bring some major changes to server connections.

As insurance, i make copies of config.js whenever new parameters are added so that it will help me rebuild the file quickly if there ever is a crash resulting in loss in config.js

Alternatively, if you don't mind not seeing parameters on picker, you can type the references manually as famousmag said and that should work even if they do not appear on datapicker and in config.js.

Can you check if this is still a problem in Wappler 7 beta?
