I’ve just installed a fresh copy of OH on a clean install of Linux Mint 19, which will replace the version I’m currently running on different hardware.
Everything has installed OK, apart from the wifiled, which won’t install.
The OH log says it failed because ‘does not contain a manifest’.
I’ve found the same error mentioned on these forums, but nothing mentioned in that other topic has been able to sort my issue.
You don’t need to manually deploy the wifiled binding as a jar in the addons folder
Since you are running 2.3 stable, clear the cache & tmp and install the addon using PaperUI
Maybe? the snapshot version of the wifiled binding has a problem? (I haven’t checked)
the advise to use the 2.4 snapshot version was an intermediate solution until the 2.3 stable version of the wifiled binding was fixed on the online repo.
From what I know, the 2.3 stable version was corrected and if you clear your cache & tmp and let OH2 re-download the binding, it should work… make sure that cache & tmp are properly cleared.
I will check the 2.3 stable wifiled binding on the online repo but I don’t expect any problems.
I already checked the jar for the 2.4 snap and it’s ok
I’ve uninstalled with purge, made no difference.
I’ve deleted the cache & tmp files, made no difference.
I’ve just stopped OH, deleted the cache & tmp files again, put the 2.4 snapshot jar in addons, and this time it’s worked … but I’ve no idea why it didn’t last night, with multiple tries.
The files are locked into a release
the current 2.3 distro had a problem with 1 binding due to a broken build for that binding (one out of hundreds)
the problem was resolved immediately
the current 2.3 stable version of the wifiled binding works just fine
try to deploy it manually to see if you get the same error: https://dl.bintray.com/openhab/mvn/online-repo/2.3/org/openhab/binding/org.openhab.binding.wifiled/2.3.0/
If it gets stuck when installing it via PaperUI then something else maybe wrong (download gets corrupted somehow?)
Not true. It’s twice now I’ve been able to install jars OK on one day with the release version, but not on another day, and where the fix is a newer jar.
not true.
I installed with apt last night multiple times, and the wifiled binding gave the manifest error.
