openHAB 4.2 Release Discussion

jlikonen · August 10, 2024, 9:02am

I have some difficulties when trying to upgrade 4.2.0M2 to 4.2.1 under Windows 11. I have used command update -openhab -OHversion 4.2.1 but I get the following error message (see the screencopy below). Any ideas?

Marketplace bindings are currently uninstalled after each update. Not sure if that relates to all or just a few bindings. So, yes it is a behaviour that many/all of us are facing, but I doubt it is a feature.

florian-h05 · August 10, 2024, 11:01am

I think this is required, because a marketplace binding is build for a specific version of openHAB and when you upgrade openHAB, there could be a version mismatch that causes the binding to stop working.

jimtng · August 10, 2024, 11:09am

So, either things would definitely break because the binding isn’t loaded, or things may break if the binding is incompatible.

Hi
It looks like your syntax is incorrect, should be:

cd C:\openHAB
. .\runtime\bin\update.ps1
Update-openHAB -OHVersion 4.2.1

Note: Update-openHAB has no spaces

ErikDB · August 10, 2024, 12:14pm

Aha, I didn’t know that. Is there an easy way of logging/listing the bindings that are installed prior to an upgrade (or better yet, the bindings that will automatically be uninstalled), so one can easily check which bindings he needs to reinstall?

Or maybe that’s a nice feature for the future?

Thanks but if I type in the bin folder

update.ps1 Update-openHAB -OHVersion 4.2.1

it just opens up update.ps1 text file and upgrading doesn’t start. Therefore in the past I have done upgrading just by typing

update -OHVersion x.x.x

but now this doesn’t work.

Mark_VG · August 10, 2024, 2:25pm

Have you checked:

You also see to have a missing. Command is:

update.ps1
Update-openHAB -OHVersion 4.2.1

jlikonen · August 10, 2024, 4:02pm

For some reason I don’t understand at all the commands:

cd C:\openHAB
. .\runtime\bin\update.ps1
Update-openHAB -OHVersion 4.2.1

update.ps1 just opens up a text file and nothing happens.

Only way to make the upgrade working was to type in the bin folder:

update.bat 4.2.1

hmerk · August 10, 2024, 4:18pm

Did you try to run update.ps1 in PowerShell ?

jlikonen · August 10, 2024, 4:28pm

OK, now I understand my mistake; I have been really blind. I have been trying to use Command prompt instead of the Power Shell. Can’t test this now because I managed to make the upgrade. Many thanks for your help.

Oliver2 · August 10, 2024, 7:12pm

Got it. Personally I would rather prefer no auto-removal. If there is a version mismatch, I would realize anyway as the binding will stop working.

ErikDB · August 10, 2024, 7:36pm

But then my initial reaction was to install the bindings again. So doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

Roar_Sorlie · August 11, 2024, 9:27am

Still the same issue with bindings not working in docker… Great!

Edit: It works if I download the offline .kar file. That’s OKAY but not ideal, as one then would have to update the file after each upgrade.

Well, finally upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.2.1 after this fix! Semi-sweet

J-N-K · August 11, 2024, 12:38pm

The problem is that incompatible add-ons may prevent the installation of other add-ons. Assuming that the version constraints are properly set in the marketplace, you’ll either install a compatible version or not see the incompatible version.

Edit: compatible add-ons from the marketplace should be re-installed automatically. If that does not work, than it is a bug.

Roar_Sorlie · August 11, 2024, 12:48pm

It threw errors of connection errors to the binding-repo online. I’m not the only one with the error, if you read further up…

marcel_verpaalen · August 13, 2024, 7:38am

I updated my OH to the latest 4.2.1 (docker), but getting stuck on error on missing org.eclipse.xtext/org.eclipse.xtext/2.32.0

As far as I can see it is missing from jfrog. So not a server hickup or something.
Any suggestion on how to get going?

answering my own post… I added https://repo1.maven.org/maven2@id=central to the repository list in openhab/userdata/etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg and this got the install going again…

org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories = https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/libs-release@id=openhab,https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/libs-release@id=openhab@snapshots,https://repo1.maven.org/maven2@id=central

Hi, would like to report that in DSL rules, sharedCache and privateCache don’t work. Not sure if it’s introduced in 4.2.x as I never used them before. I find them still in the documentation, however OH complains the name cannot be resolved. I started a thread below:

Anybody experiences the same?
