Doesn't Install in Home Assistant 2021.3.4

[jdrews417]

After adding the plugin from HACS, going to integration and installing results in a dialog box:

Config flow could not be loaded

The HA Logs show:

I just tried to install the latest version on two different clean instances of HA, and I cannot replicate your error. The error messages don't make me any wiser, except that HA is throwing the error, and not the Integration.

Only suggestion I have is deinstall the Integration from HACS, ensure that the smartweather directory under custom_components is gone, then restart HA and try to install from HACS again.

[jdrews417]

Tried that (multiple times).

Today I told HA to go back to version 2021.3.3, and the install worked just fine. shrug

[briis]

Really strange, as I tried it on a new 2021.3.4 without problems. Let me know if you get issues when upgrading.

[jdrews417]

upgraded just fine (but don't have to re-install the integration). Appears to be pulling in data just fine. Thanks for the great integrations!

[briis]

I will close this now, just reopen if you run in to this again.

[brentpabst]

I'm seeing the same behavior on the latest version. Running the latest HA and HASSIO versions and the integration "installs" but does not prompt for any install options and cannot be configured after installation.

[briis]

As I stated above this is damn hard to troubleshoot, as I have not been able to recreate it, no matter how many times I have tried to install it. But I will have another look in the Config Flow code, to see if there could be something there that prevents it to load. One quick question: What language have you set in Home Assistant?

[brentpabst]

@briis is there anything on my end that would be helpful to share in troubleshooting?

[jdrews417]

For my case, "English" is the installed language, nothing else.

Could be good if you could turn on the debug option for this integration. Open your configuration.yaml file, and look for logger: If it is already there, add this below:

logger:
  logs:
    custom_components.smartweather: debug

else add this

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    custom_components.smartweather: debug

Then restart HA, and try to install the Integration again, and let me know if something shows in the log.

Sadly I am hitting this issue too. I am running homeassistant docker container. HACS shows it installed but it doesn't show up in integrations at all. If I check the files look to be there under custom_components folder. I have tried both logging settings and there is nothing about smart weather showing up in the logs.

[briis]

@chrismcneil If you just installed the integration through HACS, then go to the Integrations page, and do a hard refresh of that page, and then try and search for it again. If it is not available under integrations, this is always a caching issue.

[brentpabst]

Quick update on my end, updated to the latest supervisor and core release and the integration installed without issue and is working properly. Not sure what HA or my local instance did but I'm all set here.

[briis]

Thanks for the update @brentpabst.
