For me it seems that there is a corrupted or incomplete item or thing somwhere. Is there a way to identify this or what the actual issue is?
Via the console I can list all items without any problems. Its also possible to request every single item from the list via REST API seperately, just not the list.
Can anybody help me out? This way i am not able to work with the main UI anymore

rlkoshak · January 28, 2023, 12:12am

It’s really hard to tell. The first thing I would do is open the $OH_USERDATA/jsondb/org.openhab.core.items.Items.json file and make sure the JSON record is closed. The last line should be } (no spaces before it). The last three lines should be:

    }
  }
}

If one of those } are missing maybe it could run into trouble when trying to find the end of the JSON.

You should also compare the current version of that file with the versions under $OH_USERDATA/jsondb/backup. You might find what’s wrong or find that you can fix the problem through a restore.

Items do not have an UID, things and channels do. Maybe you have an invalid link? Do you use files or UI for item configuration

johfeu · January 28, 2023, 1:50pm

I mainly use files, but at some point a while ago I was creating some entities in UI.
I compared the mentioned items json file and its identical. The corresponding things json has lots of differences but thats mainly because of different order of entities. It only contains some things i had added long before the issue appeard.

How to figure out if I have an invalid link? if I compare file org.openhab.core.thing.link.ItemChannelLink.json to the backed up version it also seem to only have reasonable differences.

Went through all of my 600+ items by emtying every .item file and readding it. At some point it started working again but I cannot tell, what item definition was causing it. Strange, but now its working fine again. Would be helpful to have more debug data in the log for cases like that.
