[TW5] Cannot save username when running under node.js

[Mal]

Hi All,

I have a tiddlywiki running under node.js and all seems to be working fine, except that it refuses to save the tiddler "$:/status/UserName" when I update this tiddler directly, or by editing the "Username for signing edits:" field in the Control Panel.

Any ideas on what could be the problem with this?  Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Mal

I think you can specify it via the command line.

MAl,

I observe the same, behavior, however via tiddlyserver it does save the user, in this case TiddlyServer is ultimately NodeJS and I am opening a node tiddlywiki. I see that I have specified in the TiddlyServer settings.json 

    "username": "",
    "password": "",

Perhaps if you start Node server somehow with a user "" it will work for you.

Regards
Tony

Here is a link to the docs for the TiddlyWiki server command: http://tiddlywiki.com/#ServerCommand

As a side note, in checking this, TiddlyServer always sets the server command to a blank username instead of the username in settings.json. I've corrected this now in master. However, setting the username in settings.json to a blank string will still have the same effect.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

Clearly, with the username coming from the server command line, it inhibits the saving of "$:/status/UserName" to avoid confusion.  At least I now have a better understanding of how this works.

Mal
