Node-RED Projects will not start

General
1

I have a rpi that I can't get project to load. I have enabled projects in settings.js

        projects: {
            /** To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true */
            enabled: true,
            workflow: {
                /** Set the default projects workflow mode.
                 *  - manual - you must manually commit changes
                 *  - auto - changes are automatically committed
                 * This can be overridden per-user from the 'Git config'
                 * section of 'User Settings' within the editor
                 */
                mode: "auto"
            }
        },

Here is the boot info..

I also have git and ssh-keygen loaded as well. I even went so far and created a ~/.node-red/projects directory. Any ideas appreciated.

Hi Mick, could you open /home/nodered/.node-red/settings.js and double check editorTheme > projects > enabled is definitely true then restart node-red

Steve, yes it is set correctly.

    projects: {
        /** To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true */
        enabled: true,
        workflow: {
            /** Set the default projects workflow mode.
             *  - manual - you must manually commit changes
             *  - auto - changes are automatically committed
             * This can be overridden per-user from the 'Git config'
             * section of 'User Settings' within the editor
             */
            mode: auto
        }
    },

It still shows false in the logs

31 Aug 04:37:04 - [warn] Projects disabled : editorTheme.projects.enabled=false

I have even tried putting quotes and removing qoutes around the the definitions.

I figured out the issue. I had 2 copies of Node-RED in my dir structure and was editing the wrong copy. It now shows...

31 Aug 05:08:19 - [info] Projects directory: /home/nodered/.node-red/projects

Thanks
