Description
Fixes #3742 -
pm2 restart ecosystem.config.jsdoes not reload app details from ecosystem fileWhen using
pm2 restart ecosystem.config.jsorpm2 reload ecosystem.config.js, only environment variables were being updated from the ecosystem file. Other configuration attributes like script path, cwd, interpreter, etc. were ignored.Root Cause
The
_startJsonmethod inlib/API.jswas only passing environment variables to the_operatemethod during restart/reload operations, but not the complete application configuration needed to update non-environment attributes.Solution
Modified the
_startJsonmethod to pass the complete application configuration ascurrent_confwhen performing restart/reload operations on ecosystem files. This enables the existingUtility.extendExtraConfigmechanism to update all configuration attributes.Changes
current_confto enableextendExtraConfigprocessingenvproperty from config copy to avoid duplication with existing env handlingTesting
Impact
pm2 kill && pm2 startworkarounds that cause unnecessary downtimeThis resolves a 6-year-old issue that has affected many PM2 users who need to update application configurations without downtime.
