Context not working for name

[Trying_to_learn]

It caught me for a while then I remembered the device name is set in the settings.js file.

So, when I look at my `context on a new machine I see this:

I'm confused.

This is what the settings.js file looks like:

Why isn't myDeviceName seen in the context?

NR 1.1.2

Stopping and starting Node-Red I see this:

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

The last line is work in progress. But nothing to indicate it is not happy with the name.

EDIT: Sorry, forget, I think my example is not relevant to yours

All visible here for me. Doesn't help but just to verify they should

Read the section underneath the part you marked with the red triangle.

// global.keys() returns a list of all properties set in global context.
// This allows them to be displayed in the Context Sidebar within the editor.
// In some circumstances it is not desirable to expose them to the editor. The
// following property can be used to hide any property set in functionGlobalContext
// from being list by global.keys().
// By default, the property is set to false to avoid accidental exposure of
// their values. Setting this to true will cause the keys to be listed.
exportGlobalContextKeys: false,

Change exportGlobalContextKeys to true.

I'm guessing this was introduced in a recent update.

Yeah, RTFM.

Thanks.
