The dreaded 'error [object Object]'

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

The dreaded 'error [object Object]'

Post by Joe Curtis »

I am a long time Cumulus user and my current setup is on a Raspberry Pi 3 which, as well as running CumulusMX, also hosts my website (www.craythorneweather.info) running via a nginx web server. This functions very well but when, recently, I came to update my cumulus.ini settings via the 'internet settings' and 'extra web files' of the Cumulus web interface I got the catchall error message above. On checking the MXdiags file it would appear that the error is caused by "Error uploading realtime.txt to /home/pi/www/weather/realtime.txt : /home/pi/www/weather/realtime.txt: No such file or directory". While this upload was in my cumulus.ini file and extra web files originally I have subsequently removed it from both, and rebooted the system, however, the error is still there. I surmise that the original entries must be cached somewhere but I am at a loss to track down where.

Any help to identify where this info is stored would be most welcome

Did you look at the next page in the extra web file settings?
If you cannot sort it then I will need to see your Cumulus.ini file - but that contains usernames and passwords so do not post it on the forum.

And where is the error that is the title of this thread occurring? - [object Object]
That sounds like the sort of error you may get if the \interface files have not been updated.

Yes I have checked the next page (the only other one used) on the extra web files. The error occurs when I try to save the 'internet settings' page. The cumulus.ini file has been set up by me as I couldn't set it via the web interface and (now) doesn't contain any entry pertaining to the error. I'm happy to send it to you if you give me an email address.

I checked the interface html files against the latest build (3081) and they were ok but I have just noticed that the internet options and schema json files in the interface json folder are different sizes in build 3081 than on my system so maybe that might be the problem!
