[SOLVED] openhab.command.refreshEntry

[Teo (Teo C.)]

Hello All .

I would like to try to edit the sitemap with VS Code.
I have the extension installed, but I get this error message:

command ‘openhab.command.refreshEntry’ not found

So i deinstall VS Code, remove the extension path from CurrentUser, restart the PC, restart my Raspy but nothing works.

I am grateful for your help !

Platform information:

• Hardware: 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core Broadcom Arm Cortex A53/ 1GB RAM/ 8GB Storage
• OS: Raspbian Stretch Lite
• Java Runtime Environment: Java8JDK
• openHAB version: 2.4.0 BUILD

I have found a solution that works for me:

• I closed the VS Code for 5 minutes
• Then I try to open the openHab extension from here https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=openhab.openhab
• I clicked Install
• And it opens VS Code
• Items and Things work again and all the features.

Sounds weird, but it works for me.

Tested it with VS Code & VS Code Insiders

openhab.command.refreshEntry

We had this problem already some time ago.

Starting at this post and the following ones.

SOlution was similar to yours.

VS Code openHAB Extension!

Thats what i already said 20h ago and 1d ago. But i have never heard of problems like this before. From what you told here, you have installed the extension directly through the extension marketplace in the extension tab. You could try to uninstall and install from a .vsix file. You can find the current releases here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-vscode/releases [image]

A fresh extension install, from .vsix file directly.
My guess would be, that this is one extremly rare cases where something with vscode ot the extension download is wrong and corrupts the extension or its files.

Hello community,
I am new here and newcomers to OpenHAB.

I put my system on a Raspi 4.
Openhabian installed as an image and currently use the homematic binding. That works perfect!
Now I wanted to set up the VS code. I have mounted the folder openHAB-conf as a network drive
and can see the folders in VS code.

If I want to synchronize the things now, I get the following error:
command ‘openhab.command.refreshEntry’ not found

I’ve already tried to uninstall the VS code and reinstalled, but to no avail.

Since I am absolutely new to the field, I hope someone can help me.
Thank you so much!

Did you reinstall it from the marketplace or by downloading the vsix file from GitHub?

[violine (Andre)]

Hello Jerome,
I only used the installation from the marketplace. Since the error occurred. Then I did the installation with vsix from GitHub. Unfortunately the mistake is here as well.

[violine (Andre)]

Hi,
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio code from my machine. Then set up the OpenHAB extension using the vsix file.
Unfortunately that did not bring the success. The error still exists:
command 'openhab.command.refreshEntry' not found

Can someone help me with the problem?
The machine on which Visual Studio Code is installed runs on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
The OpenHAB is installed on a Raspberry 4 with the Openhabian system.

Thank you so much!

Hi,
unfortunately, i went through all the steps as violine did (uninstall, install latest extension from vsix) and I am still at the same point with openhab.command.refreshEntry while trying to sync things or items. As an Output on openhab Server I receive: [Error - 22:20:27] Connection to server is erroring. Shutting down server.

I use raspi3 with Raspian and Win 10 64bit.
Appriciate any support on that.
Thx JD

Did you also try the latest Beta Extension?
Can be found here in this forum category.

VSCode Extension - 0.6.0-beta for testing available

I have finished everything i wanted before a new release, so here it is. You can get version 0.6.0-beta here: https://dev.azure.com/openhab/vscode-openhab/_build/results?buildId=68&view=results Just download the build artifact as shown in the screenshot below. [image] Happy testing and feedback welcome as usual. If it runs well, i would like to push it to the marketplace by the end of this or the beginning of next week. Enjoy!

I am still unsure what goes wrong sometimes during install of the extension.
But the new beta is based on an improved build system.

[wiewior (Jacek)]

I downloaded the latest one openHAB VS Code Extension 0.5.1 from github…

[Confectrician (Jerome Luckenbach)]

Then you should definitely try the beta linked above.

Also I thought that maybe something corrupted is still present in Vscode even when one uninstalls an extension through the UI.

You could try to manually remove the extension.
It’s described here.

Completely uninstall VS Code extensions

[wiewior (Jacek)]

Hi Jerome,
many thanks for fast reply. I checked the recommended beta and have general problem after installing and rebooting VSC. See the screenshots…

Update: removing extensions with rmdir %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions /s did not helped .

[wiewior (Jacek)]

Andre,
did you solve the problem?

[Confectrician (Jerome Luckenbach)]

Hey Jacek,

Basically this looks good.
The two shown notifications are known (and already solved) issues that have no connection to the command not found issue.
Please read the beta thread. We have talked about the notifications over there.

Does the refreshEntry message still appear?

[wiewior (Jacek)]

Hi Jerome,
I do not think it is a problem of the VSC an its plugins. I have two PCs and one openhabian 2.4.0-1 on RP3.
Yesterday I I made an update of the opehabian with sudo openhabian-config. Than I installed VSC from scratch on new PC, when all problems occurred. Today morning I launched my old pc with previously working VSC and OpenHab 0.5.1 plugin and discovered the same problems.
It is not the problem of the plugin but something went wrong after updating openHabian.

Jacek

Ps. System reboot did not solve the problem

[Confectrician (Jerome Luckenbach)]

Hey @wiewior,

Usually an openhabian update shouldn’t affect the extension in the way the problems are occuring here.
We are communicating with the openhab environment only through lsp server and rest api.
A “command” (especially when it is not found) is far beyond starting a connection from vscode to openhab.

[violine (Andre)]

The problem occurred with a newly installed Raspi 4. Since the error could not be fixed, I reinstalled the Raspi. After that the error did not occur anymore. I have also uninstalled VS code and deleted all files that generate VS code.
After that, the error did not occur again.

[wiewior (Jacek)]

Guys,
I’ve updated Openhab to 2.5 hoping to solve the problem with VSC connection.I really like this plugin and do not want to give up without solution Unfortunately openhab updates and VCS updates did not solve my issues. I am just wondering if i could get some logs captured to investigate the issue.

@violine,
I do not want to re-install the system. It is linux so we can fix it more efficiently than win for example
Uninstalling VSC did not resolve my problem.

[Confectrician (Jerome Luckenbach)]

I don’t think that the raspi reinstall did solve the problem in his case.

Did uninstall the extension and/or vscode completely?
Did you remove possible left over data from the user folder like decribed above?

[wiewior (Jacek)]

Jerome,
I will come back with results on this what you proposed. I did the steps you refer to. I uninstalled beta VS I removed extension manually as well. I did the same on two pcs. on both I have the same problem.
But honestly I will check this again and then come back…
