Failed to normalize configuration for thing

[morph166955]

I'm on snapshot 3360. I updated a jar from the marketplace and I'm now getting this error when installing the new version. I haven't made any changes to the channels on that binding in a while so not sure if this is something I did or if it was something new in the core.

Updated to 3382 and this is gone. Closing.

[J-N-K]

The reason is that a description is missing and the thing was initialized via the 120s timeout introduced in #3397 as temporary solution to #3394. The permanent solution is #3407 and related PR in openhab-addons.

This binding starts very fast (sub second). I haven't seen it wait the 120 seconds.

[J-N-K]

Is the code available somewhere? It's most likely a binding issue.

openhab/openhab-addons#14282 is the pending PR

[J-N-K]

Does it only happen when you update the bundle or does it also happen when you restart openHAB after you updated the bundle? In that case it's probably a concurrency issue when updating the bundle.

[morph166955]

I noticed it when I removed and then installed it from the marketplace earlier. It was doing it every time. I haven't been able to replicate it since updating from snapshot 3360 to 3382.

[J-N-K]

So what is the current state? Do you still see it on latest snapshot? Otherwise it's probably fixed. If you still see it: when exactly and how an I reproduce it?

[morph166955]

I can't reproduce anymore on the current snapshot. I'll close until this pops up again. Thanks for looking into it!
