I just started learning Sails.js and am trying to make a simple application. I have a <link> tag linking to the bootstrap cdn in my layout.ejs. After certain changes to certain files I get this message.
excuse my interruption, but it looks like this app
does not have a project-wide "migrate" setting configured yet.
(perhaps this is the first time you're lifting it with models?)
In short, this setting controls whether/how Sails will attempt to automatically
rebuild the tables/collections/sets/etc. in your database schema.
You can read more about the "migrate" setting here:
http://sailsjs.org/#/documentation/concepts/ORM/model-settings.html?q=migrate
In a production environment (NODE_ENV==="production") Sails always uses
migrate:"safe" to protect inadvertent deletion of your data.
However during development, you have a few other options for convenience:
1. safe - never auto-migrate my database(s). I will do it myself (by hand)
2. alter - auto-migrate, but attempt to keep my existing data (experimental)
3. drop - wipe/drop ALL my data and rebuild models every time I lift Sails
What would you like Sails to do?
After choosing any of these it seems, that when I try connecting to the page everything works but my link to bootstrap has been removed and the styling is gone. I'm new to sails, and any kind of backend work so I'm not sure what could be happening.
The message you have mentioned has nothing to do with the problem.
Sails uses Grunt to merge your JS and CSS file into a single min js and css file when the mode is set to "production" so go to
config/local.jsand change your settings to 'development'.To retain your CDN linked css, read how to customize the grunt tasks here:
