I have a working thing with five channels. Now I need to add another channel. I select a similar one, press the duplicate button, edit what is needed and press the Save button. The gray screen blinks, but the data is not saved. When I modify the existing working channel (configure), even if I do not change anything, after pressing the Done button the screen blinks and nothing is saved. In the openHAB 5.1.0.M2 version it worked without problems (mqtt binding)

Iā€™m not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I just updated a docker running OH 5.0.3 to OH 5.1.0.M3 and have noted a few issues with sizing, spacing and displaying with my Overview page in the Main UI which I was able to correct for the most part. The one issue I am still struggling with is the use of taphold to activate a popover in some of my custom widgets. I can activate a popup without issue, but not a popover in M3. However I had no issues in 5.0.2/3 with same widget and code. I assume this has something to do with moving Vue3, but I havenā€™t been able to find any info in the release notes or forum that might be of help for this issue. I donā€™t want to spend time digging further if this is a known issue.

109

I think thatā€™s a pretty safe bet, I donā€™t know if itā€™s ā€œa known issueā€, but small issues, especially with layout, are found quite frequently at the moment, and I suspect that this will continue for some time. It wasnā€™t just Vue that was upgraded, but also Framework7, which had changed/modernized quite a lot in their ā€œvisionā€ of how a UI should look, which has consequences for anybody that has tried to build anything within ā€œthe rules that wereā€.

The best thing you can do to get it resolved is probably to create an issue where you describe the problem properly, preferably with some screenshots as ā€œvisual aidsā€:

I also have the same issue with popover and sheet actions.
I created an issue in github ([MainUI] sheet and popover actions don't work in fixed grid layout pages Ā· Issue #3538 Ā· openhab/openhab-webui Ā· GitHub)

Iā€™m seeing this issue in all layouts and in the Main UI Model as well so for me it is not limited just to Grid layouts. I am going to create an issue this morning on Git as well. For now I am using popups to get around the problem and hope it can be resolved before 5.1GA

112

Ok, then Iā€™m going to edit the issue in github so it is not restricted only to grid layouts, but generally to all parts of MainUI, so we donā€™t have two issues for same problem.
(I use sheet and popover actions only in that one grid layout so I havnā€™t noticed it elsewhere)

5 posts were split to a new topic: 5.1.0.M3: Main UI shows blank screen on Android

Iā€™ve just installed the latest Milestone build. But I seem to have an issue with the MQTT binding. All my things discovered with the HA discovery do not work anymore. In the UI I have an error ā€œERROR:Handlerā€ and ā€œHANDLER_MISSING_ERROR Handler factory not foundā€ Is this a known issue? And if so, what is the latest build that still functions?

117

Install the MQTT Home Assistant binding. It has been split off from the MQTT binding.

I have the same issue when trying to add a new channel on a thing (Generic MQTT). Iā€™m running the latest snapshot on Openhabian.

The console shows an error in that http://openhab:8080/rest/events/states is being ā€œBlockedā€

I then see a 404 Not Found error for the following url http://openhab:8080/rest/actions/mqtt:topic:mosquito:motionH ( motionH is the Thing Iā€™m adding a channel to)

Finally, I see this error :

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "isValid", this.$refs.thingConfiguration is null
    save http://openhab:8080/assets/thing-details-C3lGRIN9.js:1256

I hope this provides a clue as to whatā€™s going on. Meanwhile, as a workaround, I can add channels manually using the code tab.

119

Is anyone looking to add doing this automatically, perhaps in upgradeTool? It should be relatively easy to test is there are any HA MQTT Things and if so install the add-on.

Has anyone tried to create a Blockly rule in OH 5.1 M3? I canā€™t tell if itā€™s just soemthing weird going on for me or a more general problem. Itā€™s basically unusable right now. There is so much going on I donā€™t even know where to begin.

  • canā€™t drag and drop blocks from the pallet
  • blocks that should snap together donā€™t, but then save and reload the page and they are magically snapped together as expected
  • deleting a block doesnā€™t delete it from the screen but it you look at the code it was deleted

I can go on but you start to get the idea. If itā€™s not just me Iā€™ll file an issue. Maybe itā€™s related to the Vue 3 migration?

121

Itā€™s not just you. I use firefox, and reloading the page with ctrl-F5 seems to temporarily solve some of the issues long enough to save and go back in. I have to agree that itā€™s pretty unusable at the moment.

122

Same problems on Ubuntu 24.04 and Chrome. When it sometimes is possible to drag a block it splits into two and the light grey one links to help.

123

Not just you. Similar experience.

124

I fixed the issues with adding and editing channels, took a while because it was not trivial, however I took the chance and refactored to TypeScript:

@ccutrer Can you please take a look?

Can you please try it with the following Main UI build:

Thanks Florian! This was my issue indeed.
