How to debug

#1

Hi,

Just repaired my AltHue, and after that I can’t get in to my openLuup

Tail on the out.log shows:

lua5.1: ./openLuup/scheduler.lua:506: bad argument #1 to ‘format’ (string expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function ‘format’
./openLuup/scheduler.lua:506: in function ‘device_start’
./openLuup/chdev.lua:169: in function ‘create’
./openLuup/userdata.lua:541: in function ‘load’
openLuup/init.lua:235: in main chunk
[C]: ?

How to debug?

Glad you fixed it!

I’ll put in a fix for empty names, so much appreciate your efforts.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

#4

Just glad that you can use this issue to make a fix.

Is there a way to check for errors in the user_data.json, as after my crash, I can’t create new scenes ?

pressing “create scene” i just get a empty page

Which version of openLuup are you running?

The openLuup Console pages are good for troubleshooting… openLuupIP:3480/console

Depending on your version, there are various menu options which can help to analyze the state of the system. This may not be a user_data issue, though. You’ve refreshed you brower page just in case??

openLuup: 19.8.20
AltUI v2.44.2526

Browser refresh, yes, and tried incognito also, same issue. But im running AltUI, as my frontend.

When trying to create a new scene in the console it works, and I can edit it via AltUI.

#7

Hmmm… perhaps more of an AltUI issue that an openLuup one?

What did you do to break your system in the first place?

#8

Hmm, Power outage. :slight_smile:

After that my DiyHue did not work (running on same RPI3b+), so I reinstalled it. (Fresh, no old config)
Then AltHue did not see the lamps (new CA), so I had to repair that with DiyHue, and when the lua reloaded after that command in the AltHue app, well se first post. :slight_smile:

but I learned how to setup a daily backup of my openluup now :smiley:

#9

I may have to take that back. I can reproduce this on a RPi running that version of the system, but not on a BeagleBone Black… weird!

I look further tomorrow.

#10

Thanks. hope you find that bug tomorrow then. :wink:

#11

This is definitely an AltUI issue, because I’ve just updated a Vera system with the latest and it has the same issue.

I note from the AltUI version log…

V 2.44.2526

  • ‘update zw device DB’,
  • ‘display Mode icon for scenes that are restricted to some modes’,
  • ‘fix option screen for tag name edit and room background changes’,
  • ‘migrate to jquery 3.4.1’,
  • ‘change for CDN’,
  • ‘migrate ace to 1.4.4’,
  • ‘migrate bootstrap to 4.3.1’,
  • ‘water valve support (rafale77)’

…that some extensive work was done, including a change to scene displays.

@amg0. … Help!

#12

the version in GitHub should include a fix - thx for reporting
