Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 1809
  • Hyper.app version: 3.0.0 stable
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: default config
  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Vanilla

Issue

Hyper automatically updated to 3.0.0.
When I opened Hyper this morning I got the Vanilla hyper.js without any config. After checking the %APPDATA/Hyper folder I found that my config was overwritten with the default.

As far as I understand the release notes this should have been fixed by canary10
https://github.com/zeit/hyper/releases/tag/3.0.0-canary.10

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Hyper 3.0.0 update behavior around the .hyper.js file in %APPDATA/Hyper, and compare it with the 3.0.0-canary.10 release notes. Reproduce an update using a customized config; done means the existing user configuration remains intact instead of being replaced by the vanilla hyper.js.
