Preferences are deleted when code is changed

Hi.

For example, launching app including below code,

    console.log(widget.preferences.getItem("test"));
    widget.preferences.setItem("test", "aaa");
    console.log(widget.preferences.getItem("test"));

then console log is "null, aaa". and launching again, console log is "aaa, aaa"

However, set preferences are deleted and  console log is "null, aaa" even if only slightly I change code (e.g removing one empty line).

Is this a default behavior? How can I config not to delete preferences when changing code

I should work on fly... But a similar behavior I have found on bada... When I worked with sessionStorage it doesn't change the entry.... But when I use localStorage I can not resproduce this issue.

As the "widget.preferences" data is persistent and i was able to retain the values on every application re-start. Though i was getting exceptions when try to test/run on simulator as "Uncaught ReferenceError:widget is not defined", but was able to run on the Tizen device successfuly.

Are you doing a clean before building it again ? if so, then the data will be lost. And when you are installing the application on emulator or device (with RDS option disabled, Window > Preferences > Tizen SDK > Rapid Development Support) the application will be uninstalled and installed again and all the preferences/localstorage data is lost.

Thank you for detailed description.

However, I found that Rapid Development Support is enabled and Launching process is failed as below.

    Because the RDS failed , IDE'll try to install whole package again.

The same error is reported in the below post and is not solved(I use only ascii characters for file names)

Hello,

After reinstall app (uninstalled and installed again) all the preferences/localstorage data is lost according to Raghavendra Reddy Shiva comment.

If you need save any predefined value you may add following to config.xml:

<preference name="test" value="aaa" readonly="false"/>

Yeah this could be an alternative option, if your data is static and you know what key-pair values the application uses.
