Trying to troubleshoot a problem and I can't find anything that tells me where in a Pi system that the file is that stores the data when you do a flow.set command. Someone please help.
Thanks
flow.set.data is another term for context.
Depending on the settings - don't ask me - they are either stored in memory or in a file.
Memory means it is volatile to reboots and won't survive.
File means it can survive reboots but is more I/O intensive.
I've set settings.js to
ContextStorage: {
default: {
module:"localfilesystem"
},
},
but I'm looking for where the file is stored
The default is a bunch of cryptically named json files below ~/.node-red/context.
eg
pi@ZeroTwoPink:~/.node-red $ find context -ls

That's what I thought but I'd thought I'd ask. If my system doesn't have the /context sub-dir I assume that's why my flow.set is not working correctly.

It creates the directory automatically, after a delay (30s)?
So if you don't have that directory there's something wrong.
What NR version do you have?
Pi4 running nodejs 18, node red 3.0..2, I have just reinstalled node red and down graded from nodejs 20 to 18 and it still doesn't work.
[edit]
no error messages and any install
If I make ~/.node-red/context root and read-only and up the logging level to debug I do see an error message:

My guess is at some point you ran something as root and now have mixed permissions.
In short, don't run the install script, npm or node-red as root.
A clean solution is to delete the .node-red folder and install using the installer script - don't use root.
Not sure who you are talking to, haven't run anything as root
Ah, I mistook that log for yours. Apologies.
Can you show us an example of the code you are using?
Also post your start up log.

this is the only node red log file in the /var/log sub-dir
nodered-install.log (1.6 KB)
and I did a restart command several times
Steve meant the output from
node-red-stop
node-red-start
It should be contextStorage, not ContextStorage. In .node-red/settings.js you should have found that line already present, and just had to amend the contents of the object.

Wow, great catch @Colin. That was the problem, Changed to small "c" and presto the sub-dir showed up.
I don't understand how you ended up with the error. The default settings.js file already includes a contextStorage entry that just needs to be edited. Did you not do that or did your settings.js not already include it?
I was wondering if you were going to bring it up. So... yes the entry was there and yes I only needed to modify it, however, and I'm making a guess here for part of it. The cursor wasn't where I thought it was and instead of deleting a character I deleted the block and thus I wound up having to retype the entire thing and used a capital letter instead of a lower case. But, I'm going with I did a great job with it as I only missed one character.

OK, that explains it. Hasn't your editor got an Undo feature?
