Hi Edvard,

It was possible for me to reproduce the error. Please try the following steps to get rid of it:

  1. Stop openHAB
  2. Move file /var/lib/openhab2/etc/org.openhab.ephemeris.cfg to /etc/openhab2/services/ephemeris.cfg
  3. Restart openHAB

// optionally

  1. Check if you now can find a new file in /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/ephemeris.config with the following content:
:org.apache.felix.configadmin.revision:=L"XXX"
dayset-school=( \
  "MONDAY", \
  "TUESDAY", \
  "WEDNESDAY", \
  "THURSDAY", \
  "FRIDAY", \
)
dayset-weekend=( \
  "SATURDAY", \
  "SUNDAY", \
)
service.pid="org.openhab.ephemeris"

Hello,

I thing it’s also problem with paper UI. when You choose weekend days, I assume to have multiple choice. but I can’t do multiple choice, and also “save” button" not appear, if you change days.

Yes, that is correct. I additionally can see a timing issue of the requests the UI is sending to the server - a reload of the page will help for the moment: (see also https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/pull/919#issuecomment-538686290).

I also see this on a brand new 2.5.0 build 1717 instance so it seems something isn’t quite right. The NPE is because it’s trying to put a null value into the Hashtable. Restarting the runtime also doesn’t solve it for me.

Yes, me too. I assume it is a problem with the default configuration provided by the Karaf feature. According to the Karaf docs:

The content of the <config/> element is a set of properties, following the key=value standard.

I am afraid it cannot handle multiple values like expected.

@wborn As you are the most skilled Karaf user I know - do you have an idea? Could it be possible to use a config file instead?

Looks like it uses Apache fileinstall for this. After following the stack trace I had a look at the ConfigInstaller code. Seems there was a bug fix for FELIX-6042: Lists are not recognized as typed properties which may perhaps be the same issue?

I’ve created an issue for traceability:
