OpenHAB - some Things stay "Uninitialized" on boot

[Dim (Angelos)]

@Dries

I wanted to manually start the two bindings in the addons folder (connectSDK and Polly TTS), since they generate errors again.

@Dries

There is one thing I can do to get them all working: If I stop OH, do an apt-get update followed by and apt-get upgrade:

• ChromeCast and Netatmo get initialized, but ConnectSDK and Polly TTS binding generate errors;
• I stop and start OH (so I do not clear any cache/tmp);
• Everything works fine;

I do the same with my OH2 Snapshot after each upgrade.
I also have 2 manually installed bindings ([1] & [2]) and they fail to become active upon first restart when cache & temp have been cleared.

The dependencies are not loaded at the moment when OH2 tries to start them (with cache & temp empty).

It seems that if OH2 has already populated cache & temp, the dependencies are loaded fine (maybe this happens first).

It seems that the bindings in the addons folder get activated before all the dependencies are available.

Once the binding is merged into the build, and can be installed using Paper UI or added to conf/services/addons.cfg, I believe the above WARN message should go away.

@Dries

So as a summary:

• I restart OpenHAB (for some reason);
• ChromeCast and Netatmo Things do not get initialized;

This is strange… this shouldn’t happen
Try to debug more this case…
