Preferences File

Introduction

Windmill has a lot of different variables it need to set. To keep things simple windmill builds a large set of default settings, you can overwrite any of those settings using your local preferences file.

The location of your default profile depends on your operating system.

MacOS X
~/Library/Application\ Support/windmill/prefs.py
Windows
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\windmill\prefs.py
Linux
/home/username/.windmill/prefs.py

Example

# local windmill preferences file
# warning - this file will be overwritten by windmill
#           so any edits should be done while windmill
#           is not active.

from windmill.server import add_forward_condition, remove_forward_condition
from windmill.server import proxy

proxy.exclude_from_retry.append('www.google-analytics.com')
