PostGIS Error

[DavyRoswinkel]

After updating to version: 2.0.0

I am having this issue. ( Maybe it's also the cause of not being able to create a backup in the dsmrreader anymore?)

How can I solve this issue:

Please keep in mind I use the HA addon and am a bit of a noob in using pg Admin.

The error comes from he plugin trying to upgrade the Postgis extension, while this extension is not installed in your databases. You could use pgAdmin to install it on one of your databases.

The error is not harmfull (plugin should continue on it).

The reason your backup doesn't continue is because the version of pg_dump you are using it too old for Postgresql 14.2 Can you try upgrading it?

@DavyRoswinkel Is your issue resolved by this answer?

[DavyRoswinkel]

@Expaso Sorry for my delayed reply, I thought I already replied in this thread. Seems to be somewhere else.

I didn't solve this issue yet, as I don't know how to update.

The issue with the dsmrreader is solved and everything seems to be working correctly at this moment.

So I wander if it's smart for me at this moment to update, if it's only a warning and doesn't affect working correctly.

This error indeed is not fatal. It comes fom the addon trying to upgrade Postgis, should it be installed. DSMR reader needs an update to work correctly with Timescale 2.0.

For now, I would advice to hold your update back for a while, since some users are experiencing issues, which I'm investigating right now (possibly because of the upgrade process being disrupted by queries form recorder).

However, most users upgrade just fine, so If you have a decent backup, go ahead!

To streamline this process a bit, I'm closing this issue to continue on #16. They all seem related. I will post my findings there, so it's not scattered around multiple issues.

They are in my configuration. Already upgraded to timescaledb version: 2.0.1

Logfile keeps showing:

Same error for every database.

The dsmrreader works, also the ability to make a backup works.
