Config node won't save properties #24

Closed SpareSimian closed 2 years ago

SpareSimian commented 2 years ago

Version is 0.6.0.

I'm trying to set up a single outlet (switch). I create a new config node and fill in the node name, hostname (which I can ping) and key. I left the coap path and user/psk blank. (I also tried filling these in from known-working values.) I click the Update button and I'm returned to the switch config. I click the pencil button again to re-enter the config node editor and all the values except the node's name are blank.

I'm able to talk to the hub with the latest version of libcoap's coap-client. I'm using CentOS 8 and libcoap-4.3.0.

Node-RED console output:

Are you sure you're using node-red-contrib-ikea-tradfri, and not another Tradfri plugin? This plugin does not have a configurable "coap path" in the config node.

How strange. It's working today. I suspect something was cached from my previous installation of the old node-red-contrib-tradfri. (I'd tripped across this whole ecosystem when this 2017 video appeared in my Google news feed that introduced me to Node-RED. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS8Vj0ba4ic ) Sorry for the confusion.
