CLuaHandler: cannot open watermeter.lua: No such file or directory

[hjzwiers]

CLuaHandler: cannot open /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua: No such file or directory

But the file is in /opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua

I have made the location and file available, but no result. That why I need it through MQTT

If you are running from docker: check your volumes. You probably have to make an extra link to /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts (but I am no docker expert....)

[eddieb]

Code: Select all

    volumes:
      - ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata
      - ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates

works here ...
what I put in ./config/scripts/lua appears in /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua

[hjzwiers]

I think i understand ...

I put the line in the config file, added the script in /opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua

and restarted, but I still get: CLuaHandler: cannot open /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua: No such file or directory

[waltervl]

you should put it in
/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua

You can check what happens if you login to the container with

Code: Select all

docker exec -it domoticz

and list the contents of folder /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers

Code: Select all

ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers

[eddieb]

hmm,
my directory has a different name ...

Code: Select all

root@domoticz2:~# docker exec -it domoticz bash
root@domoticz:/opt/domoticz# ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua/
total 132

The point is that I don't have that directory, and if I make it it doesn't work!

/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua_parsers/watermeter.lua

/opt/stacks/domoticz/config/scripts/lua/watermeter.lua: this directory is made by the system : same problem as @eddieb

I don't know what you mean with getting direct entrance to the directory .....

[waltervl]

And what if you create it from within the container?

[hjzwiers]

I,d like to try, can you lead me through the process please?

[waltervl]

Please do the following:

what happens if you login to the container with

Code: Select all

docker exec -it domoticz

and list the contents of folder /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers

Code: Select all

ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers

[hjzwiers]

hjz@debian:/opt/stacks/domoticz$docker exec -it domoticz
docker: 'docker exec' requires at least 2 arguments

Usage: docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]

See 'docker exec --help' for more information

I did it from the docker directory, but it is asking for more arguments?

[eddieb]

Code: Select all

docker exec -it domoticz bash

[hjzwiers]

I had to use: sudo docker exec -it domoticz bash

i was within the docker: root@355aab15c8a9

ls -l /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/lua_parsers : response was "No such file or directory"

I then made the directory lua_parsers and copied the file into it.

Ran domoticz and it worked!!

I got domoticz-solaredge also working that way! Good learning point!

[waltervl]

You have to be aware you have to do this everytime you update the Domoticz Docker image!

[hjzwiers]

Thanks for the heads up.

I've now edited most of the plugins within the docker file, I don't know if that's the way, but it got domoticz-solaredge started up.
