[DATALOSS] Folder Variables are not saved / synced to files by default

When I create a folder and go to the folder settings, add variables and then commit the changes, they do not appear in the files and so are unusable when synced to git.

Edit: One has to manually click on the “private” labeled button to switch it to “shared”. As written in the comment it would be good to have a warning/hint at least in the commit screen, that there are “private” not synced items to avoid loss.

Reproduce:

  • start Yaak
  • New Workspace -> Create Empty
  • Give Name
  • Select a sync folder (BUG here, too, if selected init Git repo it will later not be able to commit)
  • Create a Folder “Folder” (default)
  • Got to Folder settings –> Variables
  • Create Folder Environment
  • Create Var: VAR_1 Value: VAL_1
  • Workspace Settings –> Settings
  • Local dir sync, select the folder again
  • init git repo
  • commit –> select all, add text, click commit
  • check files, no vars inside, copy repo to other host, open in Yaak, see folder settings contain no vars

Oh, I found you explicitly need to click on the button “private” to switch it to “Sharable”, then it get’s saved.

I would then suggest to show a hint/warning somwehere (at commit screen would also be good at least), that there are unsynchronized “private” items.
