Export Portable Project always exports devices as local #3554

Closed Pcrossley69 closed 4 months ago

Pcrossley69 commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug When exporting a portable project a zipped GNS3 project fie is created. This contains a projec.gns3 file that describes the project.

Nodes in this file contain descriptions that include information of the form: "nodes": [{"compute_id": "local",

This is true even if the project is being exported from a vm.

Consequently whenever I export a portable project, I have to do a global search and replace in this file replacing "compute_id": "local" with "compute_id": "vm"

It seems to me that the default action should be to set the compute_id to match where you export from At the very least docker containers should default to vm as they won't run locally.

Another possibility would be to offer a choice when the export starts "vm" or "local"

GNS3 version and operating system (please complete the following information):

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1) Open a project 2) Dont start anything 3) Use File->Export Portable Project 4) Use File Import Portable project to import with a new name 5) Any items that were on the vm will try to load to the local server !

I have added the option "Keep the original compute IDs" in Export Portable Project. That should solve your issue.
