[Issue#185] Losing Saved Settings

#1 – cheton 于 2017-08-15

If you’re running the app built with Electron, try removing the %AppData%\cncjs directory (e.g. c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\cncjs) and try again. I guessed there might be a permission issue with your folder settings.

If you’re using a web browser, make sure your browser is not in “Incognito Mode” (i.e. private browsing), or the localStorage settings won’t persist after closing the browser.

I will try that, thanks.

I had ever encountered issue that cncjs cannot persist system settings to c:\Users\\.cncrc on a Windows desktop due to incorrect permissions. Everything works fine after removing this file.

Sometimes the localStorage won’t persist after refreshing or closing the window. ~~I will try to use electron-config to persist browser settings to disk when the app is refreshed or closed.~~

Found something strange in CNCjs 1.9.8, sometimes it will throw an error on app start when parsing the c:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\cncjs\cnc.json file, this file was used to persist local storage settings to disk (issue #41).

Fixed the bug using a debounced function and synchronous file writing (e.g. fs.writeFileSync), that will definitely fix the issue that caused a broken JSON output (https://github.com/cncjs/cncjs/commit/3ddb776fb7784a1eb266fe4afcf0968624251bdd)

Added a commit that will prompt the user for the corrupted workspace settings on program startup
