When is .organice-config.json loaded?

[schoettl]

I'm trying to supply a standard organice config file for employees. But when I place it in the root of the Dropbox, it does not seem to be loaded into organice.

• I pressed Ctrl-F5 in organice
• I logged in and out in Dropbox

But the capture templates from the new organice config are not loaded.

Any ideas why?

The config is loaded on startup. What you are describing sounds like a bug. To be more blunt, what you're describing is that the config file is not working at all, which wouldn't be great(;

I have tried to reproduce it and couldn't. Here's a video of what I tried: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubwnq9uvmqaj22y/2022-10-21_demo_config_file.mkv?dl=0

Can you elaborate what you're doing differently than in the demo so that we can pinpoint where the problem resides.

Thank you for testing this! Turns out that the reason was an config file with missing keys at my side: In my template config, I have removed the key lastSeenChangelogHash.

The thing is that organice does not log any error when it cannot load the config. That would be helpful.

Agreed. Improved error handling is always a good improvement 👍

For reference, the place to enhance error logging is around here: settings_persister.js line 395
