upgrade to 2.3.8 failed / transformation script failed

Post by kovi44 »

Dear all,

I tried to upgrade from 2.3.7 to 2.3.8. I'm running it using RPI3 and Raspbian jassie.
After the upgrade it failed with following error

/var/log/z-way-server.log

If I start it manually using /opt/z-way-server/z-way-server, it hangs

Looks like config.json is corrupted. Copy it from your original installation

Hi,

I just found config.xml, and there is no difference between 2.3.7. and 2.3.8 (I replaced with the same result.)
I was unable to find config.json. There exist a several files in config folder.
<config>
<automation-dir>automation</automation-dir>
<log-file>/var/log/z-way-server.log</log-file>
<log-level>0</log-level>
<debug-port></debug-port>
</config>

Hi,

or maybe you were refering to configjson file which is stored to z-way-server\automation\storage
It's a really huge file. I also replaced the 2.3.7 one to 2.3.8 folder with the same result. Is there a way how to find an issue in such huge file with such limited information like it's in log file

Hi kovi44,

yes PoltoS is referring to the configjson in storage directory.
To search for the problem in the configjson you need to parse it with a JSON parser e.g. https://jsonlint.com/ to see what's wrong.

Hi Ronie,

I did the json validation using jsonlint.com with positive response - means that the json file is valid without any issue.

However the transformation script always fail and I am unable to upgrade to 2.3.8.
The biggest issue is that I got no clue what cause the issue. If yes I will disable such configuration part and do it manually after upgrade to 2.3.8 The error out put is useless without any useful information. My json file got 418kb and to be honest it was an nightmare to configure z-way-server to work ok, with all logic, virtual devices, http devices, triggers, ... There're 311 ids in configjson, which represent some rule, module, event, device,...

Is there someone who can provide me a support and help to manage it?
Can you help me to identify using error output what cause the issue?

Dear all,

I am really start to think to get of rid with z-way-server, not really due to product itself but more cause of lack of support or community which is ready to help.

Maybe I am not the expert , but I am using it on daily basis for more then 3 years. To find a relent support here is like a nightmare. Sorry to say that.

If you can recommend any another useable soft, please let me know.

Thanks, appriciate any recommendations
