I want to make sure this is actually unexpected behavior or bug before I submit an issue to core.
In my config I have the following to support folder sensors on a couple directories in the media folder. Is core check only aware of the /config directory? I get errors for everything that references the /media folder in my config.
If anything with /media is in the homeassistant section core check just spits out the entire config which exceeds the terminal buffer so you can’t see where the error is. If I take those references out of home assistant and run core check I get this result.
Failed config
sensor.folder:
- Invalid config for [sensor.folder]: not a directory for dictionary value @ data['folder']. Got './media/frigate/clips'. (See ?, line ?).
- platform: folder
filter: *
folder: /media/frigate/clips
- Invalid config for [sensor.folder]: not a directory for dictionary value @ data['folder']. Got './media/music/Alarm Clock Sounds'. (See ?, line ?).
- platform: folder
filter: *
folder: "/media/music/Alarm Clock Sounds"
This are the relevant sections of my config.
homeassistant:
allowlist_external_dirs:
- /media/frigate/clips
- "/media/music/Alarm Clock Sounds"
And the folder sensor config.
sensor:
sensor:
- platform: folder
folder: "/media/music/Alarm Clock Sounds"
filter: "*"
- platform: folder
folder: /media/frigate/clips
filter: "*"
I’ve tried ./media, …/media. No dice.
The sensors do work as expected in real time.
Edit: Sorry I had posted one of my “experimental” file paths from attempts to resolve the issue. Correct configs are posted now.
