HTTPs - require('fs') & certs follder

[Lawrence Griffiths]

Hi what am I doing wrong to get my HTTPs key & certificate files loaded I need to add 

 var fs=require('fs');

outside of the module def or I get the error

 [ReferenceError: fs is not defined]

Also I've placed my key & certificate files in Public folder it works and assume that is Ok?.

As I feel the node-red root should only contain core files. 

BTW have you guys made some performance improvements as my RPI cpu trace is almost a flat line now.

Used to be very spikey with a lot of I/O.

Thanks

Lawrence

Doh! what I should of said is I need to add  var fs=require('fs'); to settings.js

[acoliveira Oliveira]

Lawrence, i will try this...

in settings.js add

    functionGlobalContext: {

        os:require('os'),

        SunCalc:require('suncalc'),

request:require('request'),

xparseString:require('xml2js').parseString,

S:require('string'),

strftime:require('strftime'),

versao:"1.0.0.01"

}

after npm install ..... if necessary

and in your flow, must be use context.global,   example context.global.os, context.global.fs, context.global.S

good luck.

AC thanks I wish I hadn't rushed to post yesterday as I haven't made my issue clear!!

In settings.js to enable HTTPs you need to un-comment the following 

 https: {

      key: fs.readFileSync(privatekey.pem'),

      cert: fs.readFileSync(certificate.pem')

    },

When you do this, you get [ReferenceError: fs is not defined]

To resolve this I added var fs=require('fs'); just before module.exports = {

I'm surprised at this and wondered if I was doing something wrong or it's an bug.

Yes I've found the same Lawrence when setting node-red https access. 

Unless var fs=require('fs'); just before module.exports = {   then I too get the error [ReferenceError: fs is not defined].

Maybe this needs to be included by default in the 'settings.js' file, as a comment, which can be uncommented for https.

For info, settings.js has now been updated in Github.

Thanks Nick
