Backup function broken in latest release

[infinisean]

When attempting to create a backup, it says started successfully but no backups are ever created and nothing shows up in the logs, even with daemon logging enabled.

I was not able to replicate this issue. Backups are working fine for me on version 8.6.4. Additionally, backup log lines will appear in the Backup Log, not the Daemon log.

Ah, gotcha. Here is the relevant log entry then. Looks like it is looking for /home/pi/Mycodo instead of /home/pi/Mycodo-master. Could it be hard-coded somewhere?

If you have Mycodo installed in /home/pi/Mycodo-master, you likely didn't install it by the recommended method in the README.

[infinisean]

You're probably right... but shouldn't it be able to install in any directory and not break the backup function?

[kizniche]

No, and I'll only support issues when installed by the recommended method.

[infinisean]

Fair enough.  I moved it to Mycodo and that resolved the issue.

Thanks
