Every time I edit a rule via Samba it is loaded twice, the first time usually with an error such as 2017-08-16 09:20:27.517 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'Heatpumps1.rules' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [178,60]: mismatched input '<EOF>' expecting ')' Re…

Thanks for the reply, I just wish it wouldn’t make the system unresponsive whilst it tried to load the incomplete file. OH1 had a configurable delay before it read the file, so it didn’t usually have this problem, perhaps OH2 could return to a configurable delay before a changed rules file is read i…

OH 1 didn’t have a delay before loading a file. The value you are referring too was a polling period. OH 1 would look for new files too load every polling period. Programmers HATE polling for things so this part was rewritten to use file system events to know when to load new files. On samba shares…

That explains it. Given that a lot will use Samba to write the rules files I wonder whether its feasible for the OH programmers to create a Samba compatibility mode that waits for 2 file system events before it loads the file, or perhaps waits for no file system events for a configurable delay befor…

In your case, it seems that OH2 reads some content from the first file event…
