Rule reports error "Array.isArray(tags)" after changing pimatic from v0.8.107 to v0.9.42

---

Hello together,

after changing from v0.8.107 to the last pimatic version I have some touble with my configuation. Here ist one of them. I create a device for the variable $reverse-date like this:

    {
      "id": "reverse-date",
      "name": "Datum (reverse)",
      "class": "ShellSensor",
      "attributeName": "date",
      "attributeType": "string",
      "attributeUnit": "",
      "command": "date +%Y-%m-%d",
      "interval": 60000
    }

The rule is:

when openelec is absent
then execute "date +'%d.%m.%Y %H:%M - Kodi aus' >> /mnt/devices/ereignisse_$reverse-date.date.log"

and in “pimatic-daemon.log” is this message:

[pimatic] error: rule status-openelec-aus error executing an action: Array.isArray(tags)

After searching in the forum I find another way to create the reverse date

when openelec is absent
then execute "date +'%d.%m.%Y %H:%M - Kodi aus' >> /mnt/devices/ereignisse_{date("YYYY-MM-DD")}.log"

but there is the same error, but both roles works perfect (only the “pimatic-daemon.log” reports the error)

@mwittig any idea marcus what’s up here?

Hello again,

I noticed that the log entries differ. For rules without errors [pimatic] info:

22:37:16.605 [pimatic] info: rule status-htpc-aus: set $nurTV to 0

and with errors only [] info:

22:38:45.163 [] info: rule status-kodi-aus: ausführen "date +'NaN.%m.%Y %H:%M - Kodi aus' >> /mnt/devices/ereignisse_2018-01-20.log":

Does that perhaps help to detect and correct the error?

Hi,

since no one had an answer to my problem, I have another question. Is it possible to prevent error output so that the log file does not get too large?

Most likely it is a bug, but I didn’t not have the time yet to reproduce it. I don’t think it is possible to supress the error message.

Now I have found a workaround to prevent the error messages. I use this bash-file:

#!/bin/bash 
echo `date +%d.%m.%Y` `date +%H:%M` - $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 >> /mnt/devices/ereignisse_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log

and changed the rules like this:

then execute "bash /home/pi/pimatic-app/bash/logging.sh Kodi ein"

It works fine and there are no more errors in “pimatic-daemon.log”.
