I looked in the /var/snap/node-red/current directory and it's empty. Please advise. I need to get to the settings.js file to enable ssl and other things. Thank you!

UPDATE: I found the settings.js file at /root/snap/node-red/current

I had the same issue and finally found it - it's in /root/snap/node-red/current

UPDATE#2 - I did a snap refresh to upgrade Node-RED to 2.1.4 and now the settings file is no longer under the path above. It is now located at /var/snap/node-red/current
