[SOLVED] OpenHAB Cloud 2.5 activate method exception

Apps & Services openHAB Cloud

Hello and happy new year to all !

I have an issue, i migrate my openhab install to a fresh debian 10 installation, everything works fine except openhabcloud. My previous install was already in 2.5 but with openjdk, now i’m using zulu as recommended.
I try to remove the cloud addon, secret and uuid, clear the cache, reinstall but nothing.

The error log is about activate method string index out of range:

2020-01-02 16:32:15.368 [ERROR] [org.openhab.io.openhabcloud         ] - bundle

Thanks a lot for your help

What is the java version?

Also post what is inside:
/var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/openhabcloud.config

or depending on your system

/opt/openhab2/userdata/config/org/openhab/openhabcloud.config

Hello
Here is the java version

openjdk version "10" 2018-03-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu10.1+11 (build 10+46)

:org.apache.felix.configadmin.revision:=L"3"
baseURL="https://myopenhab.org/"

Need to change to Java version 8 as OH does not yet support other versions.

oups you are right
when installing zulu i choose the last one … not the version 8
will install the good version and retry

I would also restart OH (may need to clean cache as well, but only once) a few times if you continue to see the error. Took me 3 restarts for OH to load and run correctly.

No more errors, works like a charm !!
Thanks a lot @H102
