Making changes to node-red settings.js not getting affected?

I'm actually having a node-red instance running on windows and I'm pretty new to this. So expect me to be a new bie.

I tried changing the editorTheme plus the paletteCategories in the settings.js within the installation directory as per the doc.

But then when I tried to restart the instance and check the for the changes in the node-red UI, I couldn't see any.

Where am I going wrong?

Solution

  • When I say that I changed settings.js in the installation directory, it should actually be the settings.js in the .node-red folder (where the flow file is stored also).

    If you look in the console when you start node-red it will tell you which settings.js is being loaded. Apparently, mine was pointing to a different one, not the one within the node-red directory which I was running.

    Hope this helps!
