If ContentHandler or MediaHandler is present it disables GuidNames setting

[ewuski]

uSync 9.2.0

I have the following configuration:

"uSync": {
    "Settings": {
      "UIEnabledGroups": "Content,Settings"
    },
    "Sets": {
      "Default": {
        "HandlerDefaults": {
          "GuidNames": true,
        },
        "DisabledHandlers": [ "DictionaryHandler" ],
        "Handlers": {
          "ContentHandler": {
            "ExportTrashed": false,
            "ImportTrashed": false
          },
          "MediaHandler": {
            "ExportTrashed": false,
            "ImportTrashed": false
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

In this configuration when saving media the uSync media file is getting renamed/ saved using media name instead of guid - despite GuidNames is turned on. Same for content - it is getting saved to uSync folder using content name instead of the guid.

When I remove ContentHandler or MediaHandler section from config, the GuidNames works as expected (on content or media respectively).

yeah - looking into this, i think its an artifact of how options are loaded in .net 😢

once the section is there, all the values are loaded as part of the object - I am trying to work out if we can make that bit of the options load up from the default section, but .net seems to load the whole lot - and because the options can come from multiple locations (.json, environment, keys) - we can't 'just' read the json file to work it out.

so TL:DR = we've taking a look. at the moment, workaround is you have to specify any default values in the handlers if you add them.
