Feature Request: Indicate dynamically overridden settings in editor

[csuermann]

I guess this is what needs to be used: https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/node-js#exposing-settings-to-the-editor

again.... i have to raspi with node red and presence-faker running. both with the same version. on one raspi it works since the update 1.8.0 on the other it doesn't work with the same flow. see the att picture:

[csuermann]

Hi @valbuz,

could you please share the json export of both of your flows?

Also, what does the DevTools network tab show when you open the editor? It should look something like this:

[valbuz]

hi here are the two flows.

presence-faker_false.txt presence-faker_working.txt

[csuermann]

Your function node is composing a string instead of an object:

msg.payload = '{"windowEnd":"' + sunrise + '"}';

Your working example converts that string back to JSON with a dedicated json node. Your failing example doesn't.

[valbuz]

so, i export the working nodes from working system and import it on the other system in a new flow. The same Node's work's only on the one system..... Both systems have the same version's of Node Red/Presence-Faker.

This Flow works on one system and not on the other :-( flows.txt

[csuermann]

Can you please attach a debug-node behind the json-node and observe the payload received there?

[valbuz]

of course...

[csuermann]

Yap, there is the problem: It should be an object but is a string.

[valbuz]

.....i only export and import the flow on the other system...

[csuermann]

All I can tell you is that your sending the wrong message format to the presence-faker node. This is not a defect of presence-faker.

[valbuz]

Sorry, my error. i take the debug in front of the json-node :-)

Now the debug out as object...

[csuermann]

And the overridden settings still don't show up in the editor?

Which version of presence-faker do you use?

Once you override the settings, does the context-tab for the presence-faker node look similar to this?

[valbuz]

the only difference on the two systems: raspberry pi4 and the other is a Container on a Proxmox

[csuermann]

Good to know. Maybe the call to the context API doesn't go through. Can you please check and compare the network tab?

[valbuz]

what's the url of the api call? there is nothing blocked in my proxmox (so i know)

[csuermann]

the URL contains the Node-RED node-ID at the end, in my case it looks like this: http://rpi4.local:1880/context/node/13d3434b.54931d

[valbuz]

The is no FW activ on my Container himself... Also on another Container, it doesn't work. So it must be a problem with proxmox....

thanks pat

[valbuz]

I change my last Raspi to a Proxmox and here it also stop's working :-(

Why isn't it possible to change the value's in the corresponding input forms himself?

[csuermann]

Have you made any progress figuring out what's blocking the calls to the context API on your Proxmox based systems?

Mind you, the override should still work, it's only the visual hint in the editor, that's not working properly.

Of course you can set new values via the input forms, but that always requires a re-deploy of your flow.

[valbuz]

Hi

No, i didn't find the solution

and Yes, i know it works also without the Popup ;-) so with the kontext showing the settings are ok for me.

thanks pat
