I want to test the new chromecast binding from @holmes.j https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/2097
But I have a general question:
What is the recommended way to reaplace the official 2.1.0 binding with the snapshot version?
I am using text configuration.
So my first step is to delete chromecast
from the addons.cfg.
Then I restart the openhab service to let openhab see the change and uninstall the official binding.
Next I copy the snapshot jar file to /usr/share/openhab2/addons
and restart openhab again.
Is this right?
feature:list | grep chrome
only shows that the 2.1.0 version is uninstalled.
How can I check if a custom version is installed?
openhab-binding-chromecast | 2.1.0 | | Uninstalled | addons-2.1.0 | Chromecast Binding
The openhab.log
is not clear either.

Paper UI does not show the new binding either.
The new binding is working by the way!
But it is still unclear is this is the recommended way.
What would happen is I did not uninstall the 2.1.0 version?
Would openhab use the newest version?
Or is there a priority system to handle “installed via paper ui”, “via addons.cfg” and “via addons-folder”?
Is there no binding from addons folder was installed
log message?
