[question] when enabling autoupdate device_classes.xml fail

[aretakisv]

I have a strange issue and I do not know if I do something wrong OR is a bug. When I enable on zwave to Autoupdate the database. It cannot recognise device classes anymore Also log has this error: Failed to load device_classes.xml

Database adds files on /usr/src/app/config This way it stops using the /usr/local/etc/openzwave DB Device_classes and other XML are missing from the /usr/src/app/config directory

I do not know what the behaviour should be.

I copied .xml and .xsd from the original folder to the new config, and seems that fixes the issue!

Once again TRV and other devices been recognised.

I suspect the Config Path is the parameter to change.

Database adds files on /usr/src/app/config

Did tou set this as custom path in Zwave settings config path?

[varet80]

no, using the container build from zwave2mqtt-docker, path was empty. I had to set the original Openzwave path: /usr/local/etc/openzwave and then it tried to update that spot, if you do not set it does update the mentioned path.

[robertsLando]

@billiaz Could you explain it better?

[varet80]

@robertsLando I built the container based on your repo zwave2mqtt-docker. Modified the Dockerfile to use the latest z2m commit for better features

In practice: Starting the container without config or store. Enable the "Update database" function System downloads device database in folder /usr/src/app/config but without the main manufacturer xml Error begins to occure after DB is downloaded.

Searching the container, I do find two locations of configs once the update database is enabled

1. /usr/src/app/config
2. /usr/local/etc/openzwave

Changing the path under Settings -> zwave > config path from empty to /usr/local/etc/openzwave fixes the issue, as now the database is updated directly into the lib location

[robertsLando]

THanks for the clarification @billiaz now I have understand. I don't know how this is handled in ozw side. @Fishwaldo when Update database option is enabled in OZW what path does it uses to store configurations db update? IS this behaviour a bug or what else?

I would like to know if it is possible to OZW to use data path to store its configurations when that option is enabled

[robertsLando]

@Fishwaldo News?

[Fishwaldo]

Downloads are to the config path. (specified in the Options Class or options.xml)

[robertsLando]

@Fishwaldo So is there any reason why this has happen? If he enable Update database option with no config path set (so it sohould use the default /usr/local/etc/openzwave) It seems is using the process.cwd dir instead.
