Cannot save to globalStore

[frigierim]

I am trying to save some state variable from a script, but this is not working:

exports.execute = async (args) => {
    await args.globalStore.set("current_platform", "test");
    var platform = args.globalStore.get("current_platform", "test failed");
    log(platform)
}

The platform variable always reports "test failed"; am I misinterpreting how this works?

this seems to be correct ... can you try the following code (this works for me, when I register a button)?:

exports.execute = async (args) => {
    const vscode = args.require('vscode');

    await args.globalStore.set("current_platform", "test");
    var platform = args.globalStore.get("current_platform", "test failed");
    
    vscode.window.showInformationMessage(platform);
}

In what context do you use your script? Can you post a small example of your settings?

Can you also check the .store file in your ${HOME_DIR}/.vscode-powertools directory?

Thanks for the quick reply!
Your code is not working for me. I am using this when registering my button (in Workspace settings):

"ego.power-tools": {
	"commands": 
	{
		"select_platform" : 
		{
			"script": "commands\\ns-commands.js",
			"button": {
					"text": "Change platform",
					"tooltip": "Change build and deploy platform"
			}
		},
	}
}

but I still get "Test failed".
I don't have a .vscode-powertools directory, but the .store file is created (empty) in my .vscode/commands folder (i.e. the folder where the script I am running resides).

Could this layout be the reason for the failure?

Yes, this is a bug ... try to create a .vscode-powertools sub folder inside your home directory and it should work.

Lovely, it works!
Thank you.
