Using remote target

Wappler General Need Help
1

Previously I would always use my remote target when working with my sites. I literally never set up a staging, development or production target. I open my project with local files and picked the remote target. Yes I realize I was updating live.

Recently I’ve noticed a change where I have to hit “publish” to get my pages updated (takes forever) and now the “debug” flag on the data side doesn’t even work.

Can someone please direct me to the proper structure of targets and how to keep them in sync as it seems something has changed sync I started using wappler. Also can I make them automaticallyu “sync” somehow like working live?

I’ve thought of trying docker but since I work on these at home and at work it seems my local contents would constantly be out of sync given that docker is local. All of my project are set up in onedrive so the local files stay in sync.

It was changed a few updates ago that production targets need to be fully published.

If you want to have it upload on save like you are probably used to, simply switch your project to ‘Development’ in your project settings.

Brad, the only thing that actually changed is that when the target is set to “Production” no files will be auto-uploaded on save.

You can upload them by selecting them in the file manager or by hitting the publish button.

Nothing else has changed.
If you want your files to auto upload to the selected target on save, set it to “Development”

Thanks Brad. I struggled recently with database connections and I bet I changed that setting while I was doing that. I did understand your instruction and changed it back. I really appreciate your response. thanks.
