Is there a way to make my changes to file save during run time. I am making a game. It uses an sqlite file for saving your account. I found that the replit db was rather limited, but now regular users can’t crate account and save across runs because it doesn’t even save. I can’t even save it creating a file after the stop button is pressed. Is there anyway to get about this issue?
Thanks,
Me
It should save across runs but not multiple Replit accounts. Is this not happening?
no, I dont think so. If a non-author runs the program it creates and adds to the database, no errors, but then after clicking stop, but files are reverted
Where are you checking these files? It sounds like expected behavior. Is this what you’re doing?:
If so, then this is just how Replit works. Unless you make your Repl a website (which requires modifying your code a lot) or using Repl Identity (which is insecure because Replit is doing nothing about it), there is no way to have a secure DB. [1]
But why? When you run a (non-website) Repl you don’t own from the cover page, Replit will automatically fork the Repl (this is known as a ghost fork). And when a Repl is forked by a user who doesn’t have edit permissions, all Secrets’ values are lost and any changes to files do not save to the original Repl. ↩︎
dang, that really sucks, if I revert it back to a replit db, will it save across runs? And does the replit db store BLOBs?
shoot. well then- I guess Ill try to figure out something else. Do you think that if I use an external database, it will work fine?
Depends what database you’re going to use. By the way, please mark the post you found the most helpful as the solution.
