The dataDirectory property of configuration is ignored?

[peterlitvak]

I'm running in to the issue where the dataDirectory property is ignored either in *.config.js file or in the command line when specified like so: jsreport start --connectionsString:dataDirectory=/Users/xyz/reports.
In both cases the data directory is created just under the current working directory.

according to this https://jsreport.net/learn/configuration#directories-configurations dataDirectory is top level configuration not something inside connectionsString. try with jsreport start --dataDirectory=/Users/xyz/reports

Thank you, will do, I was looking at this:

"connectionString": { 
  "name": "fs",
  "dataDirectory": "data",
  "syncModifications": true
}

probably it works too, try with jsreport start --connectionString.dataDirectory=/Users/xyz/reports (you had a typo in your command and you were using connectionsString)

The later doesn't work but your earlier comment was correct, it is a top level property, I guess the doc on FS needs to be corrected?

ahh ok, maybe there is a problem with this but anyway this should be fixed in v2, and since docs are being updated this will be corrected. thanks
