Cannot use custom EEP.xml

[OlwinFroon]

The problem

As depicted here, HA_enoceanmqtt stops working as soon as I edit a custom EEP file into the configuration.

Perhaps it is because of my configuraition setup. I didn´t want to clutter up my config root directory, so I added a directory /config/enoceanmqtt to hold
device file, custom mappin and EEP and the log.

Insights so far:
a) adding a custom EEP.xml will cause E2M to stop right after the start.
There are no log entries.
b) adding a copy of the same custom EEP.xml to the /config directory (without removing the one in the subdirectory or changing the configuration) will cause E2M to run, but it will ignore the custom EEP.
c) the reason for this issue lies in the run.py script of HA_enoceanmqtt-addon.

Hi @OlwinFroon,

TL;DR

This will be fixed by 0.1.29.

Collapse to see the detailed explanation

The issue comes from the run.sh file.
The custom EEP is installed by overwriting the default EEP.xml file.
As it stands, the location of the default EEP.xml is retrieved using this command:

   EEP_FILE_LOCATION=$(find / -name "EEP.xml" -print -quit 2>/dev/null)

This will look for a file named EEP.xml in the whole Docker container (yes, an addon is a Docker container) and select the first one encountered as there should always be only one.
This issue was a latent bug as this command will look into the /config as well.
Since 0.1.28-1, without going into further details, the first file will always be found in /config.
Hence we end up trying to overwrite the custom EEP file with ... the custom EEP file, hence the error.

This can be fixed by excluding the /config directory from the search.

   EEP_FILE_LOCATION=$(find / -path /config -prune -o -name 'EEP.xml' -print -quit 2>/dev/null)

Version 0.1.29 will fix this issue.

Oh. So the issue wouldn't have occured if I just renamed the custom to anything else but EEP.xml.

Gotta try that ...

[OlwinFroon]

Woo hoo, renamed it to myEEP.xml and it works :D

[mak-gitdev]

As simple as that 😅

Okay, the workaround works, the fix will come with the next version.
I guess this can be closed.
Happy new year, btw :)
