Errors after updating to MQTTController build 25139

[cw-kid]

Since updating I am getting flooded with these new notifications:

"
Reaction task "1" failed due to an exception. Please see the log.
TypeError: _0x19cf4f[_0x4d0fc6(...)] is not a function"

From the log:

Seems to be related to my Playstation 4 PSWaker rule.

This is the ps4-wrapper.sh script the rule is running:

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
    # Run command and capture its output and exit status
    output=`ps4-waker $*`
    status=$?
    # If output was produced, stop looping.
    if [ -n "$output" ]; then
        break;
    fi
    sleep 1 # slow retries down a little
done
# Echo back the command output and exit with its exit status.
echo "$output"
exit $status

These are the global variables, this particular rule outputs to the variable named "PS4WakerCheck".

In the log output it says step 5.

I think this is step 5:

It is slightly different to the others as it using "None" rather than "Unknown" for what is to be displayed in the Vera multi-string device when no game / application is running on the PS4. This was working OK previously.

${{ PS4WakerParse?["running-app-name"] ?? "None" }}

However changing this step to this instead, makes no difference I still get the TypeErrors:

${{ PS4WakerParse?["running-app-name"] ?? "Unknown" }}

So its not this. but something it doesn't now like with step 5 ?

This is the multi-string device in Vera:

I temporarily disabled this rule by turning it off, however I am still getting lots of these errors in the notifications area.

[toggledbits]

OK. I've got this (thanks for logs and details, really helps!). Rather than spin a build for it right now, I can give you an easy workaround... you're bare metal install right? If so...

1. Edit the file server/lib/vera_devices.yaml
2. You will find 3 occurrences of the word deref in that file; change that word only to expr
3. Save the file and restart MSR.

For general reference for others, this bug occurs when using the SetVariable action. You do not need to make these changes if you are not using that action.

I will, of course, have this properly fixed in the next build.

expr

Thanks, I think that has fixed it, not had any notifications since.

Following - Getting the same issue, but within a Docker and don't see the vera yaml file.

EDIT: Consoled into the docker and updated the yaml file. Restarted the docker and tested OK. Thanks.

[toggledbits]

OK. I've updated the docker images as well.

OK. I've updated the docker images as well.

Just double checking that the deref lines should still be there after the docker update to 21270-46679ac.

I did run one of my rules that set variables, and there is no task error in MSR. So I'm assuming the expr change was a work around and you fixed it elsewhere?

That's correct!
