I downloaded/installed Node-Red 0.19.3 and I am using Global Context in my flows. The Flow variables are showing, but the Global variables which are in use and working do not show up in the Global context window. I'm running Windows 10. Previous install was 0.18. How do I get the reference to t…

Closing the topic!.. Installed 0.20.0-beta.5. I'm not sure which version from Beta 4 or 5 fixed this issue, but it now is working! This is so nice to get this feature working. Thanks Node-RED team

so you what I found out is that you cannot just un-comment the line. You need to have Level: "trace", or Level: "info", and there is a verbose display, which tells me the modules loaded and the flows, but really no errors at this point other than its just not able to do a global.keys() function…

That is correct. Comment line info so that only line trace will be used.

I just ran your flow on a: pi (stretch) nr v0.19.3 works fine osx nr v0.19.4 works fine I wonder if this is a Windows issue (which I can't test on since I don't have one) Has anyone else tested it in Windows 10?

The fellows here are running Windows 10 with me. They report that the global.keys() works on their PC's. I asked Nick if he could dig a little deeper since this would probably affect other Windows users. It's something that does not hinder performance, but you cannot list any of your global varia…

[image] tree-frog: I would assume that Nick/development could look into the source code and see anything that would prevent the global version from acting predictably Well yes. That's what we've been doing over the last 3+ days. As Ive said repeatedly, I'm at a loss to explain how this is at…

[image] Andrei: That is correct. Comment line info so that only line trace will be used. Correcting what i wrote before: the right way to change the debugging level is changing the value of property "lelvel", as you mentioned before. console: { // Level of logging to be r…

Well yes. That's what we've been doing over the last 3+ days.

As Ive said repeatedly, I'm at a loss to explain how this is at all possible.

Please can you send me (directly if you like) your settings file?
