Hi,

i am a happy dzvents user. But now i have a weird issue: Since a long time i created a new script and i noticed the script was not triggered. Some furhter investigation showed me the script file was not created. te reproduce the problem i tried with a sample script. So the steps

1. create new dzvents script (type device) with name 'Arnold' and the following code

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'test'
		}
	}, 
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	end
}

2. enable the script (in my case: Set the button to 'Aan''
3. Save the script. I see the following log entries appear

Code: Select all

2019-05-10 12:13:39.651  Status: dzVents: Write file: /home/domoticz/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Appliances.lua

2019-05-10 12:13:39.661  Status: dzVents: Write file: /home/domoticz/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Arnold.lua

4. if i push the button named 'test' nothing happens. (expected behaviour would be the logline 'Device test was changed'
5. i took a look at the filesystem level. And although there is a log entry (see step 3). the file Arnold.lua was not created:

Code: Select all

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

(PS changing an existing script does work. Apparently dzVents cannot create new scripts for whatever reason)

What happens if you copy paste your script into nano, vi or another editor and try to save it to this location ?
Can you try this as the domoticz user and if that does not work using sudo ?

could you try to post the result of:

Code: Select all

mount

and

Code: Select all

df -h

I did not try this, but your anwser put me on the right track. Apparently the domoticz user was not able to create the file. I think i corrupted the permissions by doing the update to the latest stable with the pi user (instead of domoticz user).

I just reset the owner of alle dirs and files in the domoticz tree to the domoticz user and now it works again

it would be nice if the permission problem was detected in the log file..., but for now i'm happy it works again

tx!

With latest Beta you now will receive a message if something goes wrong while writing dzVents scripts from the internal event editor to the OS file system. Still not very detailed but it's a start
