Possible Solution

N/A

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

1. Installing the addon using Community Marketplace,
2. Adminstration->Settings->Things click +

Installing the same binding by dropping it in the openhab addons folder You don't get that error message. It is working as expected.

I've noticed this issue with multiple addons - so there's probably a bigger problem at hand here

[florian-h05]

I think this is a problem with the naming of the JAR, I think there was an issue or PR related to that by @J-N-K, but I currently cannot find it.

[ThaDaVos]

@florian-h05 - I guess it has to be one of these - can't really pinpoint the exact one though: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3AJ-N-K+is%3Aclosed+marketplace+milestone%3A4.0

[florian-h05]

Thanks, I finally found it:

https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/pull/3641.

If I understand the pattern correctly, this REGEX is used:

.*(.*?)-\d+.\d+.\d+.*

org.openhab.binding.unifiprotect-4.x.x-latest.jar does not match that REGEX, but org.openhab.binding.unifiprotect-4.0.0-latest.jar would.

[seaside1]

Thanks. Simple enough for me to change name on the jar. Anyway, any specific reason not allowing the name 4.x.x. ?

[J-N-K]

It's not a valid version string, because x is not a number.

[seaside1]

I would say it is a valid version string (for example maven allows -SNAPSHOT etc). I do agree that x is not a number though.

[seaside1]

org.openhab.binding.unifiprotect-4-x-x-1.3.3.7-latest.jar This matches though :)

[seaside1]

I would also think in case you want to enforce the above versioning, it would be better to fail the marketplace addon installation, rather than having it not showing any thing types available.

[J-N-K]

-latest is fine. But the first part of the version (after the bundle name and the first dash) consists of major.minor.patch which are all numeric values.
