hobinjk and others on IRC have been helping me diagnose this problem, but I thought it best to jump over to discourse as I was failing to stay logged in a missing messages.
My setup
- fresh image of iot-gateway on a fresh pi 3b+
- connected to wifi
- accessible on local network
- rules setup and working for a chromecast audio and some tp-link switches
- ssh enabled
My Problem
I’m looking try and get this addon to work https://github.com/hobinjk/clap-sensor-adapter
However, I can’t get any addons installed via source to show up in http://gateway.local/settings/addons/discovered
I’ve tried
- clap-sensor-adapter
- example-adapter
- virtual-things-adapter
- forked virtual-things-adapter with a different name in package.json
All installed using a combination of git clone and npm install (and restarting the gateway)
You can see them along side the other enabled addons I have working
But they don’t appear in http://gateway.local/settings/addons/discovered (which does list all the bundled addons)
In the logs
I’m seeing some logs that looks normal
2019-05-01 22:05:14.076 INFO : Not updating clap-sensor-adapter since a .git directory was detected
2019-05-01 22:05:14.079 INFO : Not updating pete-test since a .git directory was detected
2019-05-01 22:05:14.085 INFO : Not updating virtual-things-adapter since a .git directory was detected
and some logs that also look normal but maybe could mean they’re crashing?
2019-05-01 08:02:03.912 INFO : Package not enabled: example-adapter
2019-05-01 08:02:03.914 ERROR : Failed to load add-on: example-adapter
Package not enabled: example-adapter
More information
On IRC today hobinjk has tested example-adaptor
pete: I tested this locally and just cloning theh example-adapter, restarting the gateway, then going to https://hobinjk.mozilla-iot.org/settings/addons to enable the example adapter worked
What next
I was thinking of starting from a fresh re-image of the pi, but before I do that, does anybody have any suggestions?
If not, are there any docs on how to back up the rules I’ve setup so far?
Thanks so much for your help already!
