How to use the Settings operation

Peter Smithson

Hi,

The manual page mentioned an operation which might be useful to me but I can't understand what it means. It's the "Settings" operation. The manual says:

Sets or removes the value of key in the settings file located at path,
depending on the value of method: set, remove, add_array_value, and remove_array_value.
Example: component.addOperation("Settings", "path=settings.ini", "method=add", "key=myKey", "value=myValue")

I tried it with something like the provided example but it tells me that the operation isn't supported and

Current method argument calling "Settings" with arguments "path=~/.config/installed_components.ini; method=add; key=myKey; value=/home/peter/ascm-4.7.0/" is not supported.
Please use set, remove, add_array_value, or remove_array_value.

I've used the example provided so not sure what I did wrong.

Are there any examples or tutorials for this one?

Thanks.

Peter

"method=add" doesn't exist - it looks like the docs are out of date.
You probably want "method=set"
