I’m having the same problem loading items in a Windows environment (The addBindingConfigReader method has thrown an exception). I’ve run some tests and found that quite a few item files load without error, but others don’t. For example, items associated with the astro binding fail to load. Items in a file created using the example in the binding documentation also load with errors. The error occurs during startup.
I’ve identified item files that fail, loaded them afterward, and they seem to boot completely. I’ll also check if the pingdevice works.
