Adding lights to a group throws error about winhue HOT 37 CLOSED

Cannot reproduce the problem what are the steps you took to make this bug happen ?

from winhue.

Popping in to say the beta 24 fixed the exact same issue for me

from winhue.

Fresh install of WinHue Beta 23.
Launch WinHue.
Create a group.
Select any bulb.
Add a name, or don't. Doesn't matter.
Click "Create" and boom an error and the app crashes.

from winhue.

I still cannot reproduce the error. Can you give me your bridge API version it's located in the Bridge Settings button under the General Settings. You should be at 1.15.0 or more if it's not the case you need to upgrade your bridge firmware. That might be the cause of the exception. I'll have to dig more.

from winhue.

I can confirm I'm at 1.15.0. I'm also running Windows 7. It looks like I have .NET 4.6.1. I've tried running as administrator, running in compatibility. Reinstalling. Nothing seems to be working.

I can generate logs every time, so if you needed anymore, just lemme know!

from winhue.

No problem. I'm looking into this right now. I have added some kind of failsafe but i don't understand why you get an null object.

from winhue.

Can you try this version and send me the log file after you create a group. I want to see what happens. I have added some logging. It will not fix the problem. Might give you another error instead of an exception.

from winhue.

Thanks for the assistance.

from winhue.

ok this gives me more clues on what is null... now why... Try this version :

removed for safety (Hyrules)

from winhue.

I know why you have the error. As for why this variable is null god know... and this one ?

from winhue.

Can you also send me a screenshot of your WinHue window ? I want to check if I see anything suspicious.

from winhue.

I have no error after the latest install.

from winhue.

HueLib2 unknown error seems to pop up a lot, at the bottom or in the log files.

from winhue.

Gees know I know why. This is not normal. You shouldn't have a blank Window at all. There should be at least some Lights and default groups and sensors. Did you pair your bridge with WinHue ?

from winhue.

definitely something odd... I'm looking at the last log.

from winhue.

Yes I did. Is there a settings window you'd like to see of the two paired?

from winhue.

Well there is the pairing windows but all I need is in the log. There seems to be a problem deserializing the Data store for the bridge. That is why the window is blank.

from winhue.

try this in your browser and send me the result :

It will send me a full dump of your bridge. I suggest you put it in a text file.

from winhue.

removed by hyrules ( thanks)

from winhue.

Thanks I will try to debug with it. I'll see why it does not work.

from winhue.

Merci! Good luck!

from winhue.

Speak french ? I'm from Quebec so oui merci :)

from winhue.

I am an Australian immigrant living in New Brunswick so I am forced to learn a little bit of french. Practice makes perfect

Then Welcome to Canada / Bienvenue au Canada ! I hope I can find this bug for you soon so you can enjoy WinHue.

from winhue.

I think I have it fixed :
WinHue 3 BETA 24 Setup.zip

from winhue.

WOAH. Look at all those new things that weren't there before. I'll keep this thread alive for a couple of days.

from winhue.

Great ! Sure keep it there for a few. Nice to know it's now fixed.

from winhue.

Couldn't find a way to contact you directly, but you don't have a couple of libraries included by default in the repo. Things like the UPnP handler etc. Any plans on adding those?

from winhue.

You're right the package folder is not synched with the repo. I will add it later tonight.

from winhue.

If you look at the dev branch there is now a package folder. Libraries should be in it.

from winhue.

Having some trouble specifically with AvalonEdit. How'd you get the project to recognize it?

from winhue.

you have to add a reference to ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.dll in WinHue.

from winhue.

try nuget : https://www.nuget.org/packages/AvalonEdit

from winhue.

No such luck.

from winhue.

What is the error message you get ?

from winhue.

I pitch myself in as having the same issue.

Blank main screen of the program, HueLib2.UnknownError at the bottom, and crash on creating any group (the 'create a group' has all my lights available).

I just saw the Beta24 linked above and tried it out. Looks like it fixed the issue for me as well, a lot of things on the main screen now and just playing with a light or two worked.

Thank you for your work with this tool - it is looking very good.
