Expected behavior

When turning on the global redis option, any attributes added manually to config.json are retained

Actual behavior

Manual changes (such as “port”: 3010) are removed from config.json when toggling global redis

This is happening more than just when redis is turned on. Project switching for example.

You shouldn’t actually edit config.json manually as it is now also kept per target and when you switch targets the one for this target becomes active.

We should just add the settings to the server connect options.

Do you change more than just the port?

The only constant, is change

Config.js port value not retained when upgrading Wappler editor

You should not edit the files in the lib folder unless nothing else is possible. The files in the lib folder often get updated and will overwrite your changes. The config object in lib/setup/config.js are the defaults, you can set all of them in app/config/config.json. The default for the port is getting it from the PORT environment variable or 3000 if that is not set. The settings in the config.json will overrule it.

Okay, no more changes to config.json. Personally I only change the port.

This has been fixed in Wappler 3.8.0
Now there’s an option to change NodeJS server port.
