Unable to delete some not valid items

messiah · January 17, 2024, 9:15pm

On startup I get some error messages about items which could not be loaded.
Unfortunately I can’t delete these items over KARAF or GUI because they are not present.
Please, how can I fix this?

Maybe clean the cache.
sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

rlkoshak · January 17, 2024, 9:28pm

Check the Links: Runtime Commands | openHAB. If you have an orphaned link (i.e. a Link where either the Item or the Thing/Channel no longer exist) that can cause problems like this.

Note, it is not allowed to have an Item name that starts with a Number. See Items | openHAB

The name must be unique across all .items files in your openHAB configuration. The only characters permitted in an Item name are letters, numbers and the underscore character. Names must not begin with numbers. Spaces and special characters are not permitted.

Clearing the cache is a good move when dealing with binding loading, installation, uninstallation type issues. An issue like the above would not be addressed by clearing the cache.

This was helpful. Thank you for the hint.

I found with “links orphan list” some links between an a disabled thing and not existent items.

It worked to remove this thing (which I tried to remove several times over the GUI) over the KARAF console.
And I did unlink these (not existent) items from the not existent channels

Update: I thought I fixed it. But need to look closer on it tomorrow. Still the same error messages.
After reboot “openhab:links orphan list” doesn’t list the “55PUS727212_Player” link any more. But error message is still present.

It might be referenced by name in a UI Widget or in a rule.

search for that string in the jsondb and nuke it there (while openhab is stopped). Be careful not to mess up the json structure of course.

I second what Rich said
