DESCRIPTION

Loss of dzVents after Domoticz upgrade V4.10778 ( dzVents 2.4) to V4.11696 ( dzVents V3.0 )

See attached screenshot

Domoticz is running fine as before but my test Lua file created in dzVents 2.4 is not seen by the dzVents GUI although is still present in ../scripts/dzVents/generated_script
Also I cannot create a new lua file.

I have cleared the browser cache without success
Any idea , please ?

A lot of the problems users experience after a domoticz update are gone when the browsercache and appcache (different things !) are cleared. There are also quite a number of posts on this forum related to these kind of problems.

To summarize and sorted from little effort to a bit more effort take these steps and check after each step if it address the issues you encounter.

- Try another browser. Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Opera.. They all are up to the task

- clear browser cache and appcache
Chrome: chrome://appcache-internals/#
Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/storage

- in www/js look for domoticz.js.gz, if its there remove it, (KEEP domoticz.js !! )
- use incognito mode using
Chrome [control] [shift] n
Firefox: [control] [shift] p

- restart domoticz
- rename the location of the original installation and install the new version to an empty target directory. Next copy database and scripts from the old location and fire it up.


Hope this will also solve your problem.

Thanks Waaren for your reply and suggestions

I have tried everything you suggested excep re-installing after renaming the domoticz folder ... without success

Si i restore a recent backup to come back at the initial state = OK ( V4.10778 )

I updated again to last beta and the problem is back ( dzVents GUI unusable) so it seems that there is some incompatibily between these 2 versions when updating to last beta from Setup/Check for update

Just my guess

i have read that all versions after 4.11665 require buster as an os.
i see you are still on stretch.
that may figure into your issue.

That is not completely accurate. If you update using the binary from domoticz.com it will only work on buster as the build system there is based on buster. If you compile on a stretch system the recent beta's will stil work on stretch systems.
But this can change when new features are added which are not compatible with stretch so if you go that route please consider moving to buster at your earliest convenience.

Hi;

As i needed to upgrade to Debian Buster , I re-installed everything from scratch
The dzvents system is working fine as expected
