I have a home automation export of 2500 line in Xml. In node-red the import of this file its output in XML is limited in debugging it to the first thousand lines. How can I see the following 1500 lines ???

Hi, the full debug should be available if you send it to the console....  
or you can edit your settings.js file - look for `debugMaxLength: 1000,`

I opened node-red / settings.js, but this file is empty. I guess it's not the right file .... Can you tell me where the right settings.js file is?  
thank you for your help

@JLRDomotique Node-RED logs the full path to the settings file it is using when it starts.

When Node-red starts, it shows me: /home/pi/.node-red/settings.js  
Yet at the edition with nano, this settings.js file is empty.

Are you sure you are opening /home/pi/ **dot** node-red/settings.js. ?

**dot** = .

cd into the .node-red directory and list the files with the command

ls -latr

and copy and paste the output here

Delete the settings file and restart Node-RED. It will recreate the file with the default settings in.

I did as you told me: settings.js is back to normal.  
After i put debugMaxLength: 3000,  
And after a node-red stop, then node-red start, it did not work, but then after a reboot, everything is now OK ....  
I thank you very much for your help ....
