lighting in component manager

[jonrigg68]

I have been using girder 5 for a while, then all of a sudden the lighting option in component manager has vanished! The X10 interface still registers commands from light switches etc but will not let me add any devices!

I have reinstalled Girder but still the same problem. I have it running on another mc up stairs and can clearly see how it should look in the Component manager?

PC is Vista home premium and as said all was working fine until this morning.

[Rob H]

Are any errors shown on startup or Girder reset in the Lua console?

[jonrigg68]

it is really weird sometimes the lighting option is there in CM, most of the time not, I did omit to mention in my last post I had to rebuild the pc yesterday so it is a clean build, I also checked after my post and there was a licence compromise which I fixed following the on screen instruction, so I am not sure if that is connected. Any way I am including the console log as I am not entirely sure where or what to look for.

** here goes ** ps I checked following this reset and the lighting option is not there in CM

Welcome to Promixis Girder 5.0.0 build 523

Okay it looks as though you have a problem with the config file for CustomWeather which is throwing everything else off.

Can you try File|Settings|General and select the Configuration files tab. Press "Explore Directory" and delete all the CustomWeather.* files then clear the Lua console, reset Girder and post any errors.

[jonrigg68]

I dont have any customweather.* files! could they called something else or stored somewhere else?

[Rob H]

None at all?

That's weird, I wonder why it's complaining about CustomWeather then. If the files don't exist then it should just return cleanly.

Can you try this version of girconfig.lua (goes in the girder5 luascript folder)

[jonrigg68]

A quick trial seems that has fixed it. ANy ideas what caused this? I dont use weather at all and had never enabled any weather.

See new log! still seems to have errors in it!

Welcome to Promixis Girder 5.0.0 build 523

[Rob H]

I'm still not entirely clear why it was doing that - I've effectively applied a bandaid that just ensures that if it does attempt to load a bad config file then it won't prevent DeviceManager from loading successfully.

Presumably you've installed and enabled a serial plugin called NEC 42MP3 Serial.lua - as far as I can tell this isn't included with Girder 5 - there should be a corresponding provider file which should be installed in luascript\DeviceManager\Providers.

[jonrigg68]

thanks... the nec serial plugin is for my plasma it was a script I found some months ago and it works. the provider you refer to will this cause issues without it? as I am not sure where I would find the original post that had this included? alternatively how could I write it myself (what does it do?)

p.s is this what all the errors on the console log I sent were?

[Rob H]

If you take a look at line 40 in the serial plugin you should see where it is trying to start the provider - if you comment that line out then that should stop the errors.

[jonrigg68]

thanks.. excuse the stupid but how do I "comment out"?

[quixote]

Just put two hyphens in front of the line:

--here is the rest of the line
