Since 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT: Installing Add-ons has changed

Celaeno1 · May 2, 2020, 3:26pm

Hello folks,

yesterday (May 1, 2020) I updated to 2.5.5-SNAPSHOT, build #105.

Everything went well.

Today (May 2, 2020) I installed the Velux binding via addons.cfg by adding the string velux at the end of the line (binding =).

After saving the addons.cfg, not only the Velux binding was installed, but also again all other bindings contained in it. (installed from build #106)

Further investigations, see here on Github.

That was completely different in previous versions. Only the desired binding was installed additionally.
.

Has this been changed or is it a bug?
.
.
P.S. Everthing is running very well. But, if this is a “new feature”, then it’s impossible to install only a single binding, e.g. for troubleshooting.

I have also seen this happening in 2.5.4 stable, when installing a binding via paperUI…

Celaeno1 · May 3, 2020, 8:58am

OK. Thanks for your reply. Did you try with different bindings or with a special one, only?

BobMiles · May 3, 2020, 9:16am

I installed the MiIO binding and this happened. So I don’t think it’s binding related… But also, all is working fine on my side…

Celaeno1 · May 3, 2020, 9:41am

Ok, thanks for information.

I set up a test environment now. Installed some bindings. Now, I’m waiting for the next SNAPSHOT Build (#107)…

Celaeno1 · May 4, 2020, 7:14pm

I can confirm, that installing ((in my test environment SNAPSHOT Build #106, installed new from scratch)) a single Add-on via addons.cfg is leading to install ALL other Add-ons again!

What is this?

Bruce_Osborne · May 4, 2020, 7:49pm

Somebody who does not report snapshot issues on GitHub, apparently. That is where all the developers are located.

Celaeno1 · May 4, 2020, 7:52pm

I only what to know if this is a new feature or a bug? If it determines as a bug, I’m going to open an issue on Github.

Celaeno1 · May 5, 2020, 8:06am

EDIT: I did further investigations. (See here).

My claim is true. The installation behavior of Add-ons has changed since 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT.

See here on Github.

.
P.S. I am really surprised that no one else has noticed this new behavior and does not consider it problematic. Really nobody else?

Kim_Andersen · May 17, 2020, 2:36pm

It has been a problem for very long time now. I reported it at github back in january.

Its a real pain in the butt this one, cause on my system everytime i install or disinstall an addon, it kills netamo, zwave, googletts, myopenhab cloud and a few others.
They will appear back allright, but it can take quite a few minutes before zwave gets back online.

Ps. I´m on openhab 2.5.0(stable). And it has not been fixed in later versions and not in 2.5.5 either as it seems.

Bruce_Osborne · May 17, 2020, 2:43pm

2.5.1, among other things, allows the bindings to get updated separate from the core since the core is no longer being developed.

All releases since then just have binding changes. 2.5.5 is expected to be released very soon.

Celaeno1 · May 17, 2020, 3:28pm

Thanks for reporting this.

I probably missed it or didn’t connect it to my problem.

Now there are two open issues… (#1322, #1460)
