I noticed my old flags are marked “stale” even though they are simple on/off flags with no rules, but maybe now a rule is required, like opting in all users or something? Previously created flags still work fine.

The

stale

mark is just something we show if a flag hasn't been updated in a while. Just a reminder to check and see if it's still something you need or not. It doesn't affect anything else. You can click the warning icon to disable staleness checks for a specific feature if you want.

Great I am glad we can disable

I see in your screenshot that the feature is only toggled on for the

dev

environment. Is your application using a dev client key? If it's using any of the other environments instead, the feature will be evaluated to

null

Thank you for drawing my attention there, I am working in the dev environment as always. Any other common gotchas I might be missing?

Can you share the exact code you are using to check the feature value for this feature?

import omit from "lodash/omit";

import {getFeatureValue} from "@blackowl/feature-client";

export const handleSaveBasedOnLeaseStatus = async ({}) => {
  console.log(
    "getfromhandleSaveBasedOnLeaseStatus",
    getFeatureValue(
      "platform::2023-05-02::release::working-flag",
    ),
  );
  console.log(
    "getNewFlag",
    getFeatureValue(
      "api::2023-12-17::release::not-working",
    ),
  );
  console.log(
    "getNewFlagWithUnderscores",
    getFeatureValue(
      "api_2023-12-17_release_not_working",
    ),
  );

I had to delete some code for security, but this is where I am console logging flags 2,3, and 4 from the logs screen shot. The first flag is an older flag and is working properly. The other two I created an hour ago or so.

I would double check the feature keys in your code and make sure they 100% match what's in the GrowthBook UI. I don't see a feature with id

api_2023-12-17_release_not_working

in your account at all for example.

Yeah, sorry I changed the name for security, but now I realize I already sent it in the log screenshot.

On the GrowthBook client instance, there is a

getFeatures()

method you can call and console.log it:

console.log(growthbook.getFeatures())

You can check if the feature is listed there

Good call… let me try that real quick

It should look something like this based on your screenshot:

{
  "api_2023-...": {
    "defaultValue": true
  }
}

The new ones I created are on the list with the default value set to true.

'api::2023-12-16::backend-validations-costs-standards-interconnections': { defaultValue: true },
  'api::2023-12-17::release::be-validations-costs-all-standards': { defaultValue: true },
  'api_2023-12-17_release_be-validations-costs-all-standards': { defaultValue: true }
