'DeviceTools' object has no attribute '_device_modifications'

I am running home assistant 2024.5 with device tools 1.8.2 and on startup I received the following traceback.

2024-05-01 16:44:40.870 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.device_tools] 'DeviceTools' object has no attribute '_device_modifications'
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if self._device_modifications == device_modifications:
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'DeviceTools' object has no attribute '_device_modifications'

Could this be because self._run_task is being initilzied before self._device_modifications?

class DeviceTools:
    ...
    def __init__(self, hass: HomeAssistant, logger: logging.Logger) -> None:
        ...
        self._run_task = hass.async_create_background_task(self.async_run(), DOMAIN)
        self._device_modifications: dict[str, DeviceModification] = {}
        ....

Yes, could be. Maybe you could try switching those statements and if it works open a PR?

Will do! I'll keep you posted.

@EuleMitKeule, I made the change. I have rebooted twice without seeing the same error again. I think the change is safe to merge as is, but I am happy to run with it this way awhile longer, and reboot a few more times and report back if you prefer.

The change makes sense to me, I merged it and published a new release. Thank you!
