Today is not my day. Seems Openhab has gone berserk
It started with me translating the label name of an item. I made sure nothing else changed, saved my file… and could only laod the main menu of my application, no further clicking.
For the life of me i could not have made a type. checked and checked, but could not find anything.
Fortunately the “home.items~” file is the latest back up, so I renamed that into “homeb.items” yep that seemed to work, but then it turns out openhab expects both files the previosuly faulty file AND the restored file to be present in order to work.
I keep trying and trying and then suddenly, yes, just the restored file necessary to work.
I run both files through a comparator… exactly the same
Still being curious what was wrong, I manage to open eclipse designer (that is a voyage in itself) . Nothing wrong with the ‘old’ file according to the designer, except some doubles that I am aware off.
So, just to make sure, I open the restored back up that is now my working file: similar, no errors, but some indication of double items.
So… I decide to comment out the doubles and save my working file.
I open my phone app and sure…just the first page loading, no menu choices.
Thinking that maybe Openhab has lost track of me renaming and rstoring item files I decide to just do a reboot.
After a while, I try my phone app again and i get the “jersey not ready yet” message, so I wait a bit more… no improvement, jersey still not ready.
Darn, lemme check if my raspi indeed booted. yes it did, so I check the basic UI and the classic UI… both no problems showing my home application
So seems that my Openhab phoneapp is at fault here, for all I know it has been causing all my problems today.
Well, I reboot my phone… same effect, Jersey not ready. my phone still will show the demo if i want, but anything else has to wait for jersey to be ready.
Cleared all data of the openhab app… no effect
reinstalled the openhab app… no effect
oddly enough i can open the _default sitemap and then I see my 'things’
But Basic and classic UI work fine apart from not being able to open some deep deep menu choice that has been bugging me before
Anybody any idea?
