ForestAdmin
How do I stop the ForestAdmin Background Process
Expected behavior
Once I boot the app, I can set an environment variable that prevents ForestAdmin from generating schema changes. I'm currently using
export FOREST_DISABLE_AUTO_SCHEMA_APPLY=true
but this does not prevent ForestAdmin schema from generating.
Actual behavior
Once I boot the app, the ForestAdmin schema generator starts running, and if my schema is out of date it creates some unstaged changes in git. I can't figure out how to get it to stop generating changes, even when I close my app.
This is particularly annoying because it generates changes every time I switch branches, and then blocks me from switching again until I clear the changes that are generated.
e.g.
-
git checkout main -
git checkout some-other-branch - Oh no! I ForestAdmin just generated some changes and I can't switch branches!
-
git reset --hard origin/main -
git checkout some-other-branch(again) -
git checkout some-other-other-branch - Oh no! I ForestAdmin just generated some changes and I can't switch branches!
-
git reset --hard origin/some-other-other-branch -
git checkout some-other-other-branch(again)

Hello @klondikemarlen,
Sorry for my late reply.
The environment variable FOREST_DISABLE_AUTO_SCHEMA_APPLY is dedicated to disable the sending of the schema to our api.
The only way to disable the generation of the .forestadmin-schema.json file is to switch to production mode.

@matthv Thanks for the explanation.
Since I'm developing, setting my entire Rails environment to production, isn't feasible.
Would it be possible to add a feature so that I could do
export FOREST_DISABLE_AUTO_SCHEMA=true
and it would turn off ForestAdmin schema generation?
