Never returns results

[ScottESanDiego]

Using HA 2024.8.3 , I can't get this to return any attributes.

In "Developer Tools", calling this:

action: fetch_latest_file.fetch
data:
  FileName: conf
  Directory: /config

yields No matching files found even though clearly there is a configuration.yaml in that directory.

Before I fork this or dig into it, is there something obvious I'm missing?

I'm sorry you're having troubles with it, I'm not really using the component any longer since I now fetch the latest modified file with folder watcher. (I use it to get the latest person detection video file from my reolink camera/nvr)

Anyway, I've just installed it and tested it, and with this action/service call:

action: fetch_latest_file.fetch
data:
  FileName: configuration
  Directory: /config
  Extension: 
    - ".yaml"

It returns:

fetch_latest_file.file 
Status: Done
Attribute: config: /config/configuration.yaml

Feel free to fork it or I can even give you ownership. I honestly thought I archived the repository.

I think the root cause has to do with how it's filtering the files it appends to the dict. This change makes it work for me:

I'll make a fork or something if this works out for me. :-)

Did you find a better solution for decent notifications with Reolink cameras that just dump things into an FTP dir? The Folder Watcher way feels odd. What's your setup for that look like?
