Anyone having DSM issues with v3.0.0-beta.2?

General
1

I am running backups from a DSM node that works perfectly well on v2.2.2 but is not on v3-b2.
It's a customised version of the backup code found in the DSM examples wiki

Using the node.warn messages, I can see that the init code is being called, but when I trigger the node the status icon turns black and nothing happens.

Thanks

There is an error in your code:

it should be (without comma):

Oops, that was a last minute edit in the copy/paste.
Still doesn't work for me after checking.

Strange, it works for me.

Um, thanks. I'll have another play then.

I was an idiot. When I was using a trigger node to test it, I wasn't setting the topic to "start" and therefore the DSM node didn't know what to do. Doh!
