Error upgrading from 5.01 to 5.02

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1
  • Platform information:
    • Hardware:RPI 5 4mb
    • OS: Openhabian
    • Java Runtime Environment: recommended
    • openHAB version: 5.01 → 5.02

I noticed a post indicating 5.02 was available so I decided to install it. During the upgrade I received these errors:

It seemed like Openhab failed to start, but restarting Openhab allowed it to come up working quite quickly so all is well, but maybe those error messages are useful.

Those errors come from the upgradeTool which is only run on an upgrade.

Since you are already running OH 5.0.1 none of these steps actually do anything as your config has already been upgraded or was correct from the start.

So none of these errors will impact you.

Someone upgrading from OH 3 or OH 4 to OH 5 though will want these to run successfully.

Unfortunately then error isn’t very informative.

Do you have anything defined through the UI? Maybe the error is caused by an empty JSONDB or lack of a JSONDB file in the first place. I can imagine either of these cases leading to a deserialization error.

What does anything defined through the UI mean. All my Items are defined through the UI if that counts.

If you didn’t open a text editor and type it in, it’s counts as through the UI.
